United Statesa month ago - Listen to Arsecast instead
Half the podcast is ignorant Ian Stone whining and moaning which gets tiresome to listen to. Listen to Arsecast pod instead, much better and more positive. Who wants to listen to negativity about football when there’s already enough negativity in this world?
Apple Podcasts1Olen714United States2 months ago - Balance the audio
Love the podcast but please can you mix it better so I can hear Ian without blowing my speaker when Adrian talks- or get Ian to sit closer to the mic. This is just mixing 101 Mr Producer

United Kingdom3 months ago - A moment of clarity
I’ve been listening to you guys for a while (not long enough tbf) but I’m compelled to write a review because I’ve just what I didn’t realise I needed to hear for the last X number of months…. Amy’s summary of where we’re at as a club was absolutely perfect! And it was followed by Ian’s expression of how I and many other supporters feel right now. Congrats on a brilliant podcast in so many ways.
