  • 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

  • Fabulous - except for one guest

    Best football pod out there. But please - stop having Bryn Law on the show. Adds nothing while somehow maintaining a superior attitude. Would rather talk about press conference strategy than the game.

    The only guest that truly makes me dread downloading the show. You guys are so great at your jobs, don’t let him drag you down!

  • In the 4% club!

    As a female in her 60’s I am helping to make up the 4% of female listeners. I love this podcast, it really reflects the rollercoaster that being a Leeds United fan brings to your life, and makes me laugh, even during the living hell of Jessie Marsch. Can’t recommend this podcast highly enough!
