EFL Today is the "Men in Blazers" of the English Football League. The Premier League is already well-covered with many terrific podcasts across the world; now Championship, League 1 and League 2 get their rightful attention. Hosts Joe Jacobson and Aaron Paul are UK-based; one is a recently-retired EFL player, the other is a popular English soccer pundit. From Wrexham to Leeds, all 72 clubs in the EFL are explored with match recaps on Mondays and previews on Fridays. If it's happening in tiers 2-4 of the pyramid, we're talking about it here.

    Joe's Heading To Reading; Aaron's Wombles Advance (5/19/25)

    The pod’s about to go on pause as Joe reveals he’s headed to ReadingFC for a front office role. The lads talk about the best and worst of the play-off rounds; Joe recalls his lone career red card from his play-off days back at Accrington Stanley and discusses pitch invasions. Aaron muses about “Red Red Robin” as a walkout song for Charlton… then goes nuts about his Wimbledon side (and hittng Buc-ees when he gets to the States.)

    Bristol City Chaos, Managerial Movement, Playoff Previews (5/9/25)

    Liam Manning and Bristol City had quite an interesting day; VAR debates, even in the EFL; Anything’s possible in the playoffs (as Sheffield Wednesday-Peterborough is recalled). Sunderland are slipping, the League 1 London clubs are soaring. Can Richard Kone carry Wycombe back to form? In League 2, Notts County may have an edge but maybe Chesterfield can find a way -- Aaron insists his Wimbledon side will find its way instead. The lads weigh in on the latest managerial changes, too. (The Watford carousel keeps spinning; it always does.)

    Final laps havebeen taken, playoff spots have been cemented. Flowers for Leeds in the Championship and heartbreak for Luton Town… and now the guys have thoughts on which team will be the third team going forward. League 1 sees two London clubs (Charlton and Leyton Orient) surging… League 2 sees Bradford City work its way to promotion at the death. (And does Aaron’s beloved Wimbledon side have a shot to get through?)
