What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I used to love this pod but I feel like it’s declined in recent years. Rotating guests make it difficult for the host to have chemistry with them. Duncan is a lovely bloke but can be a bit of a tough listen - he just throws out stats and references that don’t add much to the conversation. He’s not a great analyst or storyteller. The Euro edition has declined sharply since it was Rafa Honigstein, Jules, Horncastle, Alvaro Romeo. Not the same level of reporting, analysis, and banter. Seb Stafford Bloor is good

My whole review is only about the European Edition section. When all 4 journalist from Europe’s top 5 leagues joined Mr. Richardson, the show used to be amazing. Full of banter, hot takes, niche information and more. Now, Spain and Germany correspondents just have a separate chat with Mr. Richardson and it’s edited together. Or if once in a while they decide to join, they don’t bother to stay for the rest of the show. James (the master) Horncastle and Jules are amazing. Keep it up. For the higher ups of this show: most people can get the information that is in the European Edition from their twitter feed. The reason we tune in is because we want 4 correspondents from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain to join James (who “represents” England) to hash out all things football once a week. If you (higher ups) can’t find two qualified journalists, that are on the payroll for NYT, that can join for a podcast ONCE A WEEK, then cancel the segment. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The show itself is fairly good, but some of the English journalists they have speaking talk as if they are recording for asmr. Very hushed tones and near whispers. I find it hard to continue listening to the points they make due to this and often turn it off early. Please speak up a bit.

Love the show. My only complaint is please, please, PLEASE stop spoiling game results in the episode titles! Lots of people all over the globe are unable to watch games live and often this podcast will come out before they are able to. It’s a small thing sure, but having to avoid looking at your podcast feed in case of a spoiler is remarkably annoying. You can easily come up with a title laying out the big talking points of the show without alluding to the results. This is basic podcast etiquette, please figure this out!

Glitter_Kitten · Jan 2023

It’s a pretty good podcast, but I had to stop listening because I couldn’t cope with the volume of ads. It felt like I was skipping several advert breaks, multiple times per episode. Even if you do skip the breaks, now actual segments of the podcast are sponsored, so it’s impossible to avoid.

Evo57!!! · Feb 2025

I thought it odd when listening to an unending barrage of commercial stings, 4 people would occasionally interrupt to talk about football. Sadly a formerly fluid and entertaining show has simply become a billboard for commerce and in the end dilutes any audio pleasure in the process.
