- Unpalatable choice of sponsors
Previously a very enjoyable show, but for a set of journalists who speak so much to social and ecological concerns around the game I find it unconscionable to accept sponsorship from AI companies. If you can’t run your show without taking the AI dollar, don’t do the show.

United Kingdom18 days ago - Brilliant Pod
I listen to far too many football podcasts and this is by far the best. Provides an almost academic lens on the game through thematically organised episodes that sever from the usual ‘what happened this week in the premier league’ approach, instead examining long term trends. As a younger listener who does not believe football started in 1992, the episodes on the great men of football’s past were fascinating. A bonus episode on Clough would be very interesting!!
Apple Podcasts5alex n14United Kingdom19 days ago Focused and serious discussion about the sport, particularly its participants, institutions, rules, and the role it plays in politics, economies and culture. Great for those who want to go beyond just their team or yesterday's game(s).
Podcast Addict524 days agoCaryHH- An interesting alternative
Libero is refreshing change compared to most other football podcasts. It's good to hear thoughtful and nuanced discussion and insight rather than reactive takes on that weekend's games. With so many fixtures now, this podcast fills a gap by talking wider football issues that affect the game's future, whether that be politics, finances, rule changes, or fan culture. Jonathan Wilson brings genuine knowledge on Africa's national teams which is valuable.
My criticism would be there are no female c... more
Apple Podcasts4flashdash92United Kingdoma month ago - Losing its way
At its best, it can deliver brilliant, informative journalism that brings stories to light with details that struggle to make the headlines. However, I’m increasingly finding that the quality of the episodes depends on who is in the lineup. Every show with Jonathan Wilson is superb, but having really warmed to him initially, Rory Smith is becoming one the most narcissistic broadcasters around. Episodes with him on have now become a self-indulgent love-in, making for an incredibly difficult and c... more
