Ash Parajuli ,

5 star podcast on Asian football

Really love the way Scott and Paul cover footballing issues across the entire continent of Asia, which is quite multicultural and diverse in economic and cultural status. They don’t only focus on the big nations which is a nice change to most other football podcasts.

JF____ ,

Both unique and brilliant

Scott and Paul do an excellent job covering an expansive football catchment that is both populous and largely untapped in podcasting. Two terrific guys who are equally terrific journalists. Excellent bredth of analysis and connected to the highest-quality talent in Asia.
