The Athletic FC Podcast

A great podcast with some excellent and varied content and guests who really know what they’re talking about. The hosts are also great, though if I’m being hypercritical it would be great if Ayo could taper down his use of the phrase ‘lets get into this one’ as I feel like I hear it almost every episode. Alongside the informative content there is also a Iittle levity which is good too!

Always a great listen. Varied and thoroughly researched topics. Look forward to every episode. A joy for a senior football fan, attempting to be up to current & informed. Thanks all…quality podcasting.

The level of insight and analysis is really strong. The guests and hosts are genuine experts in the topics they talk about. However, each episode is about 1/4 advertisements. I get it's a free feed and ads are normal. But the episodes are so frequently broken up by ads that they become frustrating to listen to. It also deals overwhelmingly with "big six" clubs. Even when it branches out into European football, it's the biggest names (PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern etc). More variety and leas ads and you'd have one of the best football podcasts around.

A real shame that the preview show is essentially a 40 minute betfair advert. I really don’t care about the betting markets and frankly there’s more than enough gambling advertisements in sport.
