  • Beautifully Balance Brighton

    Big fan of the pod. The blend of Experienced journalism of Hayward combined with the been there and done it of Murray makes for one of my favourite shows.

    I also love occasionally bumping into Paul in the streets of Lewes to getting extra context of what it's like behind the scenes of the seagulls and the Rooks.

  • Such a gem of a podcast!

    People will say I’m biased as a Brighton fan, but Paul and Glenn make such a great team of interviewers. It has to be one of the best football podcasts out there, not just one of the best club podcasts. Compelling interviews that really dive deep into the workings of the club, with players, staff, management and special guests.

    Paul and Glenn have fantastic chemistry and the sound quality, pacing and editing is extremely tight.

    I love it!
