The ex Millwall footballer if that's who that means.
Yup. Old fashioned Millwall centre forward, one cap (B for Scotland in Harris's case IIRC), career damaged/ended by injury at key stage - that's the comparison.
I'd no idea who Harris was but sounds familiar enough indeed. He does loads of League of Ireland and international TV stuff here now after a spell running St. Pats Athletic.
And of course his main claim to fame:
One of the CV notes for a fighter on the UFC at the weekend was something like 'Hosts MMA Access podcast', which suggests a fairly poor list of fighting achievements.
Niall Quinn came across so much better than on TV in the SC Sadlier interview. Really good listen, wasn't expecting it to be.
I'm running out of good podcasts. Gimme me some suggestions.
Tanis and The Black Tapes. I find/found them decent listening. They're basically radio style horrors/thrillers. The same people also make a Podcast call Rabbits but I can't really get into it.
The GAA Hour
Just looked up those. The Black Tapes. Do you want me to have nightmares?
Anyone interested in tech - The Vergecast is really good.
Yeah I'd second the Verge one too.
Sometimes they talk a bit too much about politics, so Boydy might even like it.
You listen to ChapoTrapHouse? Start around election season and then go back and forth from there. Bit Tankie but super funny.
Set Pieces Menu is a good football one, couldn't reccomend somewhere to start though.
CoolGamesInc is a fun one where two guys just riff on making video games based off crowd suggestions. Think of it as Jim'll Paint it for an aural generation. There are animated 'best of' clips on youtube if you want a preview. Griffin McElroy, one of the guys on that podcast also does My Brother, My Brother and Me which is what they're properly known for, it's a comedy advice show where they 'agony uncle' super weird Yahoo Answer questions. I got so into their shit that I ended up listening to an audio D&D campaign that they've been running for 3 years called 'The Adventure Zone' and despite having no interest in D&D whatsoever and it literally being an audio version of people playing fucking D&D, it's probably one of my favourite podcasts.
You've just had half the board subscribe.
I dunno, I had a look at it and I'm not sure it's really for me. I like some aspects of 'tech', I guess, but I find that whole 'world' a bit up its own arse in general. Start-up founders thinking their saviours of humanity and all that shit. Look mate, all you've done is enable people to do something they could already do before but through a phone.
I saw people talking about ChapoTrapHouse on Twitter but I was wary of it because I tried Reel Politik or whatever it's called because of Twitter and it was fucking irritating. It was like someone just shouting left Twitter in my ear for an hour. And the production values weren't great.
The Football Weekly crew are breaking up
http://www.football365.com/news/excl...ootball-weekly
It's getting to the point where there are going to be too many podcasts to subscribe to.
lol at that becoming too big for the Guardian.
I love how they put 'Producer Ben' like anyone gives one iota of a fuck about him. They started a football podcast with everyones favourite host on the, at the time, largest sports news site on the web when it was them or Football Ramble (literally 3 blokes no-one had heard of and an Absolute Radio DJ in their kitchen), no-one else would jump on podcasts for another year or two which makes him think he can he write this:
seethe over.
Luckily Ken Early was shite when he guest presented Football Weekly so at least there's no chance he ends up on it.
His denials today
Max Rushden.
Yoko Macintosh
Athletico Mince is a fooking hoot.
The Totally Football Show is an abysmal name for a thing. I guarantee that started off as 'Total Football Show' before some bright spark realised that's already a thing.
There was some Guardian journo on Football Weekly a while back talking about how it would be his last one because he was off to go freelance, and there was a slight air of hostility around the whole thing.
Just listened to the new one with AC Jimbo. It was fine, and felt very Football Weekly. Why change a good thing, I guess.
Julien Laurens is still a massive hypocrite... last season he complained about Man City buying so many players and not giving youth a chance, and on this pod his criticised Tottenham for not buying a back-up for Trippier, and instead having to rely on youth. He is constantly moaning about every decision any club makes. Douche.
Is there a podcast dedicated to the Championship? I've heard that there is.
There used to be one called We Are Going Up but it stopped last year. Talksport do one every Monday for the Football League, which I presume would be mostly Championship.
Just seen this in my feed too but it's Keith Andrews so probably best avoided.

The Irish seem to be pioneers in football podcasts/media. Pack out stadia for Football Weekly Live and the like. I guess it's due to the lack of good stuff they get to see on home soil.
90% of the Off The Ball stuff is just radio that they replay as podcasts. Newstalk Radio every night from 7-10pm is totally dedicated to sport, though too much Andrews and Kenny Cunningham make it a bit of a turn-off for football.
There's definitely something in it though, as I'm really surprised Second Captains have lasted this long with the subscription thing as they have. I thought it would have fell on its arse by now. Their live shows sell out in seconds too (albeit at small venues).
The longer it goes on I feel Bob gets stronger and Andy gets weaker.
Luke and Pete's summer was a nice Ramble spin off, not so sure about their new European football pod 'On the Continent' though.
As a massive geek I love Talking Simpsons and Thirty Twenty Ten from Lazer Time, wouldn't recommend if you can't handle the yank accents though.
Given New Statesman a bash recently which is alright.
Decent season preview. Poor Giles still thinks it's the 1970's.

(Also has loads of episodes on US politics for everyone to furiously masturbate over).

I don't even listen to the content anymore but I still follow the account because it is hilariously unaware.
For an example, he's a picture of Graham 'Bad Boy of Barcelona' Hunter wearing leopard print sunglasses during the day.
He's an instant turn off no matter what he's on.
Episode two of The Totally Football Show features Leroy Rosenior moaning that he's 'absolutely exhausted' from having watched all the Premiership games at the weekend on a bank of screens.
I took that as a banterous comment about how much ACTION there was, rather than an actual moan.
The only thing to tell FW and TFS apart are Barry and Jimbo, respectively.
It is a bit weird, I thought they'd at least try not to have the same rotating guests.
TFS will prove to be quite a lot better I think, although having Michael Cox whine his way through both of them already has been a shame.
I've already binned Football Weekly. Just not enough room for all the football podcasts dropping on Monday/Thursday. Let alone all the other podcasts on my feed. Football Ramble dropping a new European roundup on Thursdays now as well.
I started listening to The Comedian's Comedian (http://www.comedianscomedian.com) which is pretty interesting
I gave TFS a try but I'd already binned Football Weekly even when Richardson was on it so it's not enough to make me make time for it. Between Second Captains, The Stand, and some of the Off the Ball stuff, I've soccer fairly covered daily.
Having both podcasts suits me. I like Max Rushden, but I also like James Richardson and could do without Barry sometimes, so I'll choose between them each Monday/Thursday.
This week I listened to both the Monday shows, and it proved a bit much having the same things discussed twice.
The Jimbo/Neymar comparisons were good on the first FW.
With the Football Ramble doing a spin-off as well as 5Live doing a European podcast. It's getting insane.
Monday - Football Weekly, Totally Football, Second Captains, The Game
Tuesday - Football Ramble, Monday Night Club, Euro Leagues Podcast
Wednesday - On The Continent, Set Piece Menu
To discuss one weekends worth of football. There's only so many takes.
How can you even be arsed with football podcasts?
The best one I listen to is a Chelsea one, which is because they're able to go into some sort of detail rather than just 'So, Man Utd beat Stoke, Pogba! Arsenal lost, Wenger out? And now over to Sancho Panza for some thinly veiled transfer leaks that turn out to be total bollocks.'
As you can imagine, the Arsenal specific ones are unbearable to listen to at this point. And Alan Davies stopped doing the Tuesday Club so there's not even a decent gallows humour one.
Iain MacIntosh was hinting this week that there will be a Totally Football Show (what a terrible name for a podcast btw - and the Telegraph have a similar name, too) spin off Football League podcast happening.
It'll last two episodes probably, when they realise no one cares enough.
Yeah, there's always a new one of those that lasts about 6 weeks before people realise they don't care about the football league outside of their team.
