  • Essential CUFC fan listening

    Is able to both boost you after a Carlisle win and/or good performance and provide catharsis when things haven’t gone so well for the blues. Great presenters who passionately cover all things CUFC as only true fans can

  • A great way to keep up with Carlisle United

  • Balanced, enjoyable and insightful

    I’m not actually a Carlisle fan, but just a neutral who’s interested in learning more about fellow EFL clubs. I find this to be one of the most balanced and informative club-focused podcasts on there and listen virtually every episode, meaning I’ve now gained a soft spot for the Blues. P.S. - Lee has such a lovely voice. He’s welcome round anytime to read me a bedtime story!
