How long has that Gary Neville one been going for? He's excellent on MNF so I might give that a listen.

Yeah I might give that a go too. I don't see much Sky but I like Neville any time I see it.
Agreed on Marcotti too. Makes that one totally avoidable for me.
Marcotti is dreadful, although his existence did provide me with a huge laugh when his number one fan SG quoted him as the definitive voice on the Tottenham riots.
I just don't understand how he's not been booted off, he constantly talks over the other guests and interrupts them when they're making their points, often in relation to a question he's asked of them. His insistence on trying to pronounce players names in their native tongues is pretty sad as well.
The epitome of the word pretentious.
Guardian Football Weekly is far better than The Game.
The Tuesday club is the boy for me though. The banter is just lovely.
Football Weekly
5live Daily
The Game
The Blizzard
The GNev Sunday night
Football Ramble
Fantasy Football scoutcast
The 5live one can be really good or utter shite. They had some muppet taff women on their yesterday saying Walsall have a striker who could easily take Bale's place on the team if he got injured for the Euros...
I actually quite like Marcotti. Not SG levels but I definetly don't find him annoying.
I find the guests on The Game much more annoying than Marcotti. Rory Smith is alright and Julien Laurens sounds handsome so gets away with having not very interesting opinions. The Liverpool fan lady, Tony Cascarino and the rest can get tae fuck though.
Football Rambles moved to 2 episodes a week with a preview show on Fridays from today onwards by the way.
Isn't the Gary Neville MNF podcast about 30 seconds long each week?
Nah Marcotti is literally the worst human being alive.
The Gary Neville MNF is short, about 5-10mins, but interesting enough to be worth listening to. The problem I have with it is that (unsurprisingly) only focuses on the 'top four' clubs, so it's quite predictable who'll be featured every week.
Two rambles is good, and I don't resent them wanting to get more money, but I'm already finding it a bit irritating having Luke 'Lukey' Moore awkwardly try to link everything to some bet365 odds.
'Alright Jim, so errr, what would you say if I said Sunderland were 3/2' 'err I dunno'
It isn't quite as bad as the capital one podcast they did - Marcus calling them the 'credit card that supports the supporters' was very troubling.
Going to the live football weekly in Birmingham tonight, should be good.
Have fun. The Ramble live show was pretty decent, except I drank too much and ate too much spicy food the previous night so spent most of the time worrying I was going to shit myself.
My current podcasts;
No Such Thing As A Fish - didn't think I would this, but it's actually really entertaining. It's the QI researchers.
The Adam Buxton Podcast - His new one - interesting interviews - but could turn boring depending on the guests
The Bugle - dead.
BBC Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy - News Quiz isn't as good as it used to be.
The Infinate Monkey Cage - still great.
Stuff You Should Know - very dependant on the topic.
If I Were You - Jake & Amir with some fairly childish humour
The Football Ramble - still going, still enjoying it
Football Weekly - still going, still enjoying it
5 Live's World Football Phone-In - not sure why I still listen to this
Richard Herring - again, guest dependant.
Kermode and Mayo - still great
I've another 700km+ round trip tomorrow and I've Football Weekly Extra, 2 Second Captains, Material, 2 Off the Ball GAA, Football Fives, and 2 Ross Tuckers downloaded and on a playlist ready to go.
Agree with a lot of those. Only recently discovered Adam and Joe's old podcasts and they're definitely a lot more fun than his solo thing, but it is still decent. Thought Rob Brydon was very interesting but also came across as a bit of a wanker when he was on.
WFPI should be so much better than it is. I know it is called a fucking phone in, but it would be so much better if they just had emails and texts read out, cus the peole who phone in are such weirdos. Like, ask your question and shut the fuck up, stop talking over the experts you freaks. Also, I like Dotun but wish they'd cut back on the bantz a bit. Gets grating quite quickly.
Dotun has the worse sense of humour ever, and the guy who helps out every now and then is a bit of a tool.
It suffers from 1. Being at 2am 2. Being produced by generalists who seem not to know much about the subject at hand.
I like Dotun though. Is the Gent dead yet? I haven't listened for a couple of years.
Durosimi Thomas is the best guest. 'I do not know that player', ha, classic.
Yeah I like Dotun too. I think he's pretty funny and clearly a decent bloke. Just there's...too much of him sometimes. A few weeks ago it felt like he spent about half an hour trying to get Tim to sing or something.
Another obvious issue is that the same things get asked every fucking week, though perhaps they just don't get enough questions to be more selective with what their ask them.
The Bugle being killed by John Olivers success is really annoying considering I'd spent my tine supporting his career because of said podcast.
Andy Zaltzman has found his true calling now anyway, doing an obscurist cricket podcast with Jarrod Kimber.
Its a shame I hate cricket really as I think he'd be an ecellent sports reporter.
My main ones are Football Weekly, The Football Ramble and the World Foothall Phone-In. I subscribe to La Liga Weekly, Forza Italian Football and Talking Fussball as well but I only get round to them if I go on a long walk, which I am doing a fair bit of at the minute.
Ramble is King. Football weekly can be tedious from time to time and as aforementioned The Game is ruined by its host.
The Spanish football podcast is worth a listen for Sid Lowe.
For some reason Sid Lowe is the only bit I sometimes skip on GFW. Not sure if it's him or La Liga.
Yeah I think Sid Lowe is great but I really couldn't give a shit about how many goals Barcelona smashed past Levante this week.
That thing is absolute gold. How somebody funds it I have no idea but still.
06:36 in this made my year: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/conte...io/847335.html
Oh right I'd only seen that mentioned on the cricinfo website. I'll get on it. Again though, who is paying for this stuff...
There is no-one more equipped in the art of talking absolute bullshit than Andy Zaltzman, it's almost an art form.
I'd never heard of the guy before the first episode of The Bugle at which point he adapted Peter's apostle to complain about the neighbour two doors down stealing his bin and I realised I was on to the greatest podcast of all time.
I never really liked the Bugle, but that's probably because I also don't like the Daily Show and all that type of humour.
I've never listened to The Bugle, but I've been seriously enjoying John Oliver's HBO thing, repetitive shouty interludes aside.
How is his success 'killing' the podcast?
Cus he hasn't got any time to do it anymore, I think.
I finally got listening to Football Fives after I ran out of others today and I was treated to such a pile of sanctimonious, we're real fans, tradition innit bollocks on MK Dons. Is it always like that?
Most of it, yeah.
Hi folks,
I'm doing a weekly podcast;
https://soundcloud.com/chrissy-ross-...st-episode-one
By all means hate it. Just throwing it out there for folk to listen to. Some FM related chat from the 50 minute odd mark.
Cheers
Is it a football one?
Revolutions is a pretty great history one.
The latest episode of me talking pish is up, discussing social media fads and why we feel the need to name everything.
https://soundcloud.com/chrissy-ross-...ue-be-like-you
On iTunes as well ;

Any feedback greatly appreciated, as I know you folks will tell me if it's a turd.
Anyone know of any decent music podcasts? 6 Music got one?
Let me have a look tomorrow, but I think there's a really decent one that Resonance radio does, and there's a couple of pretty good ones that this weird French radio station does. Any specific genres of music you're on about?
I've heard nothing but good things about BBC Radio 3's Late Junction, which plays quite a range of interesting stuff. If you're arsed with classical, the Composer of the Day podcast is excellent.
Not sure exactly what podcasts they produce, but I've heard a lot of good stuff about the French radio station 'FIP'. As someone on another forum explains, it is 'A French station that I think someone on here turned me onto. Plays a very interesting mix of music, jazz, classical, electronic, oddities, generally with a very 'chilled' vibe'. Obviously not much use if you're after a Kermode & Mayo experience (unless you can speak French) but probably worth a shot for actually interesting music.
I'll let you know if I think of anything else.
I'm subscribed to the Robert Luis podcast. The latest one just came out halfway through me typing this.

You can listen on the website (it's the Unfold podcast) or subscribe on Mixcloud.
Swapping off music podcasts, I think Second Captains might secretly be the best Football/Sports podcast around.
