He wouldn't actually, though, would he?
I haven’t been following it all that closely but did they manage to spin it all around to him (Cummings) being a right lad or something?
What a massive radge.
he's bringing shame to my name.
I find him quite entertaining on Mince, but his twitter feed is just a bitter, misjudged train wreck of unfunniness.
I dunno. For me, Mince is just proof you could put anyone next to Mortimer and it would be decent. His Twitter is indeed terrible too.
Anyone else on the Quickly Kevin live show tonight?
I’ve not checked any of it out yet (I only really listen to podcasts in the car and I’m WFH) but there’s a podcast called Victory The Podcast which is the writer/cast of Entourage watching episodes of Entourage and talking about it. I hope it’s as good as it is in my head.
The boys are back!

God those Players Chairs are dreary. I know what Danny Rose has to say isn’t the cheeriest subject matter but Sadlier has an awful habit of thinking nobody wants anything other than dark.
Rose unable to string sentences together.
The Second Captains/BBC Sounds podcast about the swimming coach is well worth a listen, tough going in places though. I’d never heard of him before.

RIP football ramble.
No more shows with the OG 4, it's just gonna be a DAILY podcast with a rotating cast of 3, seleced from Pete, Luke, Jim, Marcus and 4 randoms. The new four are fine, ish, but the whole point of the ramble is that it's just listening to four old pals with great chemistry chat shit with football as the general focus. Now it's just ANOTHER "serious" football show. I can just listen to 5live or football weekly or some shit for something like that.
I got incredibly bored of the daily shows with the 4 of them. They're not THAT entertaining.
I'd rather they just did 2 weekly shows with the 4 of them, as before, and then get the other jokers to do random shit on the other days.
Even when I had more of an interest in the league I never liked that one. Always preferred FW and the spinoff.
The Ramble haven't helped themselves by attacking anyone suggesting it isn't as good now on social media.
tbf a lot of the complaints were 'WOMEN!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! AND A FUCKING ETHNIC? FOOTBALL JUSTICE WARRIORS'
To be fair I have seen that but also seen plenty of valid criticism.
It all fell down the moment they took themselves seriously.
The Game podcast has a new host and he's an absolute weapon. First episode highlights include labelling Bielsa a fraud and comparing Harry Winks to Sneijder.
They’ve had more hosts than seasons at this point. Just an absolute failure of a podcast.
Interesting reading the ramble comments on here. I tend to agree that it's gone downhill big time and their USP was the fact it was 4 mates chatting football and a bit of nonsense.
Haven't listened to it for while now and probably won't bother in the future.
Has anyone listened to the new Alan Partridge podcast yet?
Exactly, no-one is listening to the ramble for in depth analysis. I listened to the ramble because it was funny when there was handbags over some non-issue or Pete went off the deep end and the others were cracking up. They're never going to be FWE or Second Captains.
I still find Football Weekly the best. Some of the contributors are quite annoying (Lars Sivertsen), but others are really good and the general tone on it is the right balance between insight and fun.
I gave up on the James Richardson one quite quickly and now I see it's been swallowed up by The Athletic.
Second Captains is the best by far but it’s annoying when there’s a GAA and a Rugby podcast in the same week.
I think I'll give Football Weekly another go. I like Max Rushden as a presenter, has a good blend of serious and silliness.
Also like the dreary Irish bloke (assuming he's still on it).
It’s only new but I need more than one Tommy and Hector podcast a week.
Have it first on the list for a long drive in the morning as I never got a chance today but I’ve seen a good few comments on it that it’s rough stuff alright.
Any F1 fans/nerds, the 'Bring Back V10s' podcast series is ace. Deep dives into various topics from the 90s and early 00s. They've managed to churn out almost 2 series of it since lockdown, a rotating cast of journos, people who were there (often Gary Anderson) and other randomers like Chandhok etc. Quality in-depth listen.
The episode on early 90s backmarkers was amazing, as is all the stuff on early Jordan and there was a great one on early Schumacher the other day.
I'll give that a look.
Nice. I'd also like to find some decent history shows if anyone knows of any, I've just re-binged most of Dan Carlin's output and I need more.
The Dollop is a fun comedy/history one.
I reccomend the New York to Paris race is incredible.
It should be made into the greatest animated film of all time.
Well There's Your Problem pulled the trigger on 9/11. A surprisingly insightful drag into how the towers were built, why, by whom and how shit the fireproofing was. Lots of conspiracy debunking and a minute of maniacal laughter that comes out of nowhere.
Ages of conquest: A kings and generals podcast is a favourite of mine.
The youtube channel is brilliant.

Impressions of America: A History podcast is a cracker.
Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium
History in the Bible.

Not sure if it's too much of a niche but the four guys from Workaholics (3 stars, 1 writer) are starting a podcast called This Is Important and I'm beyond excited for it. Workaholics is one of my favourite TV shows of all time and I'm so happy they're doing something together. Hopefully it's better than that Game Over Man film they did for Netflix, although the Skintendo console was mildly amusing.
Also really enjoying Victory The Podcast, mentioned up the page, which is literally just some of the stars and the writer of Entourage talking about each episode, one at a time, with the odd cameo from other cast members. I bloody love Entourage, so it's right up my street. One thing I really can't shake is it started on June 8th and Kevin Connelly was MeToo'd on July 15th, and they've not once mentioned it, and he's never missed an episode. Not even like a 'I'm sure you've heard the story, I just want to deny it and move on' or something. Very very odd.
I only listen to podcasts while driving, and do very little of that now the world's ending, but I've been managing to keep on top of the Entourage one. Now the Workaholics one is coming, I might struggle to stay upto date. I've already completed abandoned the Blindboy Boatclub one, but I think that was less to do with me not having time and more to do with him always going over the same ground.
But yeah, Workaholics guys talking about dumb stuff - count me in!

Tommy and Hector just shows how much the west and east here might as well be two different planets these days.
Sad to see Kevin Mccarra died, always wondered what happened to him as I don't recall him being on football weekly for years, turns out he was diagnosed with alzheimers in 2012.

He wasn't the one that never ate veggies, was he?
He was the Scottish bloke who always sounded like he had a really dry mouth
Only recently realised there was a Confessions podcast with Simon Mayo. Used to catch some of the Drivetime show after work when they were on so happy to see I've got loads to work through.
Have found myself trying to disguise my hysterics from other drivers when out in the car.
Incredible how the BBC managed to catastrophically fuck it up.
Fucking that programme up was an absolute textbook example of managers just not getting it. They must have achieved overnight the holy grail of losing millions of listeners and also having an objectively worse programme, and all so that someone with breasts could be on the radio at five instead of nine o'clock.
