  • 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!

  • Better than the real thing

    I’ve been listening to the guys for the last few seasons and finally have to admit that the podcast is better entertainment than the LUFC football matches!! Love Propaganda…Cardiff City boy is a legend, so many characters and so well analysed by TSB’s cutting wit. Great way to keep connected to the team while living in Scotland. #MOT

Phil highlights the importance of continuity, manager familiarity, and added quality in the squad, suggesting Leeds look like a stable, sensible team building on last season's base with selective upgrades.
Phil Hay: I want to punch someone in the face! | The West Stand
Q: You spoke about the bubble there, Phil. And I'm interested to know what that was like, because if anybody's not aware of the sort of commercial, whether it's set up commercially, they kind of lock down almost the entire part or parts of cities anyway, don't they?
Phil Hay explains how the World Cup in the US was surrounded by heavy branding and restricted commercial spaces, with branding covered up in stadiums and a heightened security around sponsor presence, while still enjoying the unique atmosphere and media access.
Bryn Law crosses the streams | The West Stand
Q: How would you describe the atmosphere around transfer rumors and potential signings this close to the season?
The hosts suggest a mix of cautious optimism and frustration with how long some deals are taking, emphasizing the need to balance ambition with financial prudence, and acknowledging that a number of targets may not come off but the club is playing a waiting game for the right offers.
