Fantastic show. Matt along with a great group of Forest fans talking about NFFC. Consistently good content and variety of guests and opinions. None of the click bate or drama of other podcasts. As a fan following from abroad , as close to talking to my friends in the pub as you can get. Brilliant!

I was a regular on the Garibaldi Red podcast/youtube episodes and was saddened when I tuned in and this crew was gone. Then I came across Forest Focus. Same group, same wisdom, same interaction - it’s great. Tune in to FF and get updated. Regards from Detroit!
