Craige with an E ,

Even loved by Premier League supporters

Refreshingly different, honest to a point and informative. Thanks for the time and effort.

Great

Love the pod. I am a Forest fan but have a close affection for the Posh.

jgfhgbknnhh ,

Great insight

Engaging and interesting and more importantly honest hosts.
Darragh does give true insight and Phil manages the process well as a questioner and a foil.
Particularly interesting on a personal level being a Bradford Fan in Peterborough.
The private paid business podcast and group is also worth a look too
