Customer Reviews
Good in-depth knowledge on local football
Moved up to the area and want to know more about the local teams. This is a great podcast to find this out. Cheers guys 👍🏼
Terrible audio
Decent podcast and Jim adds a bit of insight from his time at United but my god the sound mixing is atrocious! I’m sure a bit of it is Jim muttering but at times it’s genuinely hard to hear a word he’s saying. PLEASE even out the volume of the voices and make the whole podcast at least 20% louder because what should be a good listen is absolutely ruined right now
Good show
Not from the paper’s patch but enjoy the format and extended focus on Tayside clubs. Much to recommend for fans of Scottish football beyond Tayside.
