An excellent podcast for Birmingham City fans—in my opinion, the best one out there. Great insights from 3 ordinary Blues fans. Funny banter, entertaining rants, and hilariously random conversations about toasters and Rhino combat. It’s proper footballing pub chat.
My favourite of all the Blues podcasts. Just 3 lads chatting all things Birmingham City. No egos, no pretentiousness, no gimmicks, just an excellent listen if you’re a Blues fan. Keep it up lads and KRO!!
Really enjoying this podcast. Come on the Blue machine
