The Late Challenge – Liverpool FC Podcast

by The Late Challenge

The Late Challenge is a Liverpool FC podcast and video show with Gareth Roberts and Mo Stewart, getting stuck into everything happening around The Reds — on the pitch, off it and everywhere in between. Robbo is a Kop season-ticket holder, while Mo covers Liverpool from the press box at Anfield. Together they dissect the football, debate the big talking points and give an independent take on the issues surrounding the club. Paul Cope and Stu Wright also regularly join the conversation, while special guests from football, sport and beyond drop in from time to time. Beyond the regular Liverpool shows, TLC occasionally branches out into wider football, sport, current affairs and life as a middle-aged football fan. Expect strong opinions, plenty of debate and a willingness to challenge the prevailing view — but Liverpool FC will always come first.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Get INNN!! Followed the two lads over from TWA, some of the best LFC footy and general chip chat in the biz. Robbo’s taste in music is impeccable, love the focus on the city as well even as a non-local. Keep it rockin boyos! YNWA

rainbo_in_the_dark · Feb 2025

My favourite LFC and non-LFC pod with two very relatable lads. I look forward to their entertaining varied chat on Mondays and Wednesdays. Their Friday Patreon show is just as good. Keep going Robbo and Copey!

ATCOY · Nov 2023

Great to hear 2 of the best TAW contributors in a new format…… great mix of footy, media, entertainment and crisps!! Top conversation, with some poignant bits and some laugh out loud funny bits…..loved the bit about going to the match vs watching at home; as a middle aged man this was totally relatable! Look forward to listening to this every week; good luck with this new venture lads !

DevilofDoom66 · Feb 2023

This is a brilliant show. I’d missed listening to Gareth since he left TAW. Together with Paul, they’re a dynamic duo and a pleasure to listen to. Tony
