  • Intelligent, Funny & Self Aware

    Everything you want from a football podcast - raw tribalism, dark humour and Leeds United talk but also the intelligence to empathise with fans of other clubs on common themes around football. Propaganda frequently takes you on a journey you weren’t expecting by holding up a mirror to football fandom amd forcing you to look at yourself. Wonderful.

  • Helping to March on together

    This is perfect for those lonesome supporters who just don’t know other fans. After watching a game on TV , I just need an accompaniment to help share the joy or pain. The humour and cynicism is great. As well as Propaganda programme, being nosy on other clubs. Hands down better than other podcasts!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ross McCormack: I’m Having a Bit of This | The West Stand
Q: When you fell out of love with football, what was that like, and can it happen to a pro or a person moving out of the game?
McCormack described struggling with depression, divorce and isolation at Aston Villa, where he felt he had little support and was sometimes kept away from training. He said football became a chore and he eventually felt he had had enough.
Ross McCormack: I’m Having a Bit of This | The West Stand
Q: What brought you back to football?
After training with an amateur team in Glasgow, McCormack came on as a substitute and scored the winner. The experience renewed his enjoyment of playing, and he later joined another club.
Joey D’Urso: Like Changing Your Brother’s Name
Q: Would you like to see the football regulator step in on some of this stuff and say, these companies need to be legit?
D'Urso supports regulation, arguing that legality alone is insufficient for sponsors on a culturally influential product worn by children, especially when loopholes allow questionable companies to advertise.
Joey D’Urso: Like Changing Your Brother’s Name
Q: So why football shirts then? How does this translate to football shirts?
D'Urso says shirts are among the world's most universal symbols, and increasingly serve as political and commercial messages, including through sponsorship that spreads a country's name internationally.
Free Episode: Bielsa’s Spygate Presser | The Phil Hay Years
Q: Do you think, both of you, that that single event, more than any other, cemented his legacy at Leeds?
Hay says the episode showcased Bielsa's exceptional preparation and devotion, helping fans appreciate his methods and personality. He also notes that the team's season faltered later and promotion came the following year.
