  • Potty about Stoke

    All things Stoke City but still with a smile, never a Pod to through the whole team under a Potteries motor traction bus even if often it feels like they deserve it. Great content, insights.. as comforting as the classic North Staffs Oatcake. Congratulations to Dan & Michael and their guests. Part of the match-day experience for me.

  • Deserves more attention!

    It’s not always easy to plough through all the multitude of sports podcasts to find something that really piques interest. This is one of those rare gems. Designed for and hosted by Stoke City supporters, with great insight and guest appearances.

    Should be on the “must listen” list for every Potter fan. The sheer volume of episodes is testament to the hard work and tireless efforts of the two hosts.

    Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • A rather splendid Stokie podcast

    ‘Every step’ is essential listening for any Stoke City (or opposition) fan.

    The presenters are natural, knowledgable, modest and fun. The ‘magazine’ format works perfectly. They have great guests to bring variety - I particularly like the previews and after match comments of the other teams’ fans. If you call yourself a Stoke fan then you must listen to this podcast. Well done lads!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Opposition View - Jimmy(Blades Ramble) - Sheffield United(H)
Q: Is it fair to say that what you've tried to do so far is be quite solid, battle away, and be compact rather than open?
Yes, the approach has been to be hard to beat and compact; it hasn't been pretty, but it's been effective enough to stay in touch and hold results as they come.
Opposition View: Ant(To Hull and Back) Hull - H - Carabao Cup
Q: One last thing, have you got a prediction for this game? How do you think it's going to go?
Ant predicts an edgy Hull win 2-1, explaining optimism given recent cup form and the opportunity to secure a tie that could boost momentum for the league.
Opposition View: Ant(To Hull and Back) Hull - H - Carabao Cup
Q: And if he does take to the pitch, so what kind of striker is he?
Ant describes the striker as someone who wants to be in behind the defense off the shoulder, pace-driven, capable of playing on the wing or up front, and aiming to earn a Premier League spot.
Opposition View: Ant(To Hull and Back) Hull - H - Carabao Cup
Q: But what are your thoughts on Hull's attempts to bring Sorba Thomas in?
Ant responds positively, highlighting Sorba Thomas as a creative option and someone who could add spark, with Hull needing players who can create chances and provide assist potential.
Opposition View: Ant(To Hull and Back) Hull - H - Carabao Cup
Q: How important would you say this cup tie is, obviously, for Hawkins? A freshly promoted club, so maybe the League Cup are the best of times, isn't the most important competition, is it?
The guest explains that while cups are not the top priority, there is value in winning to give fringe players a chance and to maintain momentum, with a focus on using the cup to assess squad depth and provide opportunities.
