  • 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!

    Good timing for this podcast with Bart. We are away at Nottingham Forest and have a disastrous game letting in seven goals which must have shook everyone’s confidence. Then early in the next game Bart makes an error and it’s 1-0 to Chelsea , here we go again thinks the crowd . NO says Bart ans shows the composure and professionalism he talks about in this podcast. The team turn it around and knock Chelsea out the cup. Next game in the league Chelsea are back , the team show they have learnt from... more

A full 180 with Tavis Dudeney
Q: What's your career target? How high do you want to go? Are you looking to be a multimillionaire and a champion everywhere?
His aim is to do as well as possible, win big titles on big stages, and secure a comfortable life, acknowledging top players still earn well even if they don't win every event.
A full 180 with Tavis Dudeney
Q: Question for you, because I've grown up with coaches, managers, like it sounds like a lot of your training is you. But is there, is there anyone out there you can go to in terms of a coach to try and work?
Tavis explains that there are dark coaches and academies for youngsters, but many players also pursue sports psychology and hypnotherapy; clubs can connect players with coaches and academies, though he has not personally pursued all these routes.
Fit, fast and fearless with Gary Walker
Q: What would you say the toughest part of your job is?
The toughest part is managing 27 players as individuals within a squad, ensuring each player gets what they need based on strengths, weaknesses, injury history, position, and training requirements, while coordinating with coaching staff to prepare for matches.
Fit, fast and fearless with Gary Walker
Q: Are there other sports that you've worked in, that you've taken from America with the NFL or basketball that you've brought into Brighton?
Yes, we visited a lot of different sports in Cincinnati and elsewhere to bring in cross-disciplinary ideas, especially around strength, conditioning, and sport science, adapting them to football to enhance performance while respecting the specifics of the game.
Inside Albion with CEO, Paul Barber
Q: Does the 90% season-ticket renewal figure suggest realism as well as expectation, given the club's recent European peak and the grumbles that follow success?
Barber explains that grumbles are normal and that loyalty is demonstrated by strong renewal rates; the club remains focused on meeting high expectations while acknowledging that football is highly competitive and unpredictable.
