I know nothing about football, but this podcast is so interesting, I’m going right back to episode 1. Both just great to listen to . Can’t get enough!
Awesome pod, can’t stop listening!!!
Only recently started listening but absolutely flying through them. Avid chatabix fan so knew what I’d get from Joe, but had no idea what a lovely guy Patrick comes across as. Silly questions that end up being insightful. My favourite listen at the moment.x
This is one of the pods I don’t miss an episode for. Really loved the latest one with Ricky and Katherine on there. Keep the series going please 🫡
