  • Forest fun podcast

    By far my favourite Nottingham Forest podcast, in fact it’s the only one I regularly listen to these days. The host Matt is great with his non professional and bumbling way he gets through the show. In no way is that a criticism of Matt as it adds to the shows charm. The regular guests are great with a mixture of fans and ex professionals and celebrity Forest fans. It’s always a good listen with some terrible jokes thrown in for good measure . I recommend this podcast highly for Forest and footy... more

  • Best Forest Podcast

    If you’re looking for top forest content then look no further. Matt, the lead host, creates a brilliant range of podcasts covering pre and post match shows, opposition podcasts and “deep dive” episodes featuring experts in their field. He has a range of ex players/current professions and other top pundits. He strikes the balance perfectly with the opinion of regular match going fans and those in the know. I listen almost every day and can’t really find enough superlatives to describe how good th... more

  • Very good..... But

    Overall, this is a very good podcast, taking a pragmatic and sensible view of the ups and downs of Forest. My only gripe is the lack of contributors who are old enough to remember the glory years of the 70's. The majority of contributors seem to be in their 30/40's and therefore cannot draw on the full history of the club just from the mid '90's onwards. C'mon Matt, there must be some older contributors you can invite on to the show...

    I just heard the interview with Franz Carr as I was driving home to Spain from the UK. The only word to use is brilliant.

    What an insight to fantastic Forest legend and such common sense. Well done for getting this Forest great onto the best Forest podcast and I hope that he will become a regular contributor to the show.

    The story about the post match interview with ‘Motty’ absolutely Clough classic down to Franz having to pay the apprentice £50
