Devils in the Details – A Podcast About Manchester United

I usually listen to podcasts while doing something. Mostly, while working in the lab. For Aaron and Kees, I have to put down whatever I am doing and just listen. This is such an intelligent podcast and it is so refreshing to have people who are so rational and objective with their words. I often listen to each episode multiple times. Oh, and also this is definitively one of the 2 best United podcasts in the world along with The Athletic’s Talk of the Devils, although the latter is a different flavor.

Miserable “fans” who spend more time saying “trust me bro” than delivering actual content.

There’s always so much noise around United and this podcast is a great way to tune that out and get smart analysis on what’s actually happening with the club. I’d also recommend it to anyone who wants to get into writing about football or does already. Kees and Aaron view the game in a way that I’ve found a lot of benefit from and it’s made me more conscious of my own writing about football.

This a superb-nerdy (that’s a compliment), top-ranking podcast that goes into ultra-knowledgeable detail about tactics without ever being irritating and does not have the usual excessive fooling around that you get with some self-conscious podcasts where the presenters know their stuff inside-out. These guys are definitely MU fans but have their feet firmly on the statistical ground. The occasional light moment, which is fine by me. British listener in Japan.
