A Must Listen
Iain is a charming and honest host and he gets the people who make the game as guests! I’ve had so much fun with this podcast and playing FM has been just what I needed. Give it a listen.

Football Magnificent
I’m new to the FM scene this year buying it for the Switch. I wasn’t sure how to get started, which tactics to use, or how to even play at some points, but listening to this podcast made it a whole lot easier to play with the tips and suggestions the podcast brings about. Iain and his guests are very knowledge and are very funny at points with the demises in their saves. A great listen that I highly recommend.
