  • 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
