    Note: if you've listened to our 'Athletic Club Special' episode, most of the new material is from 11:42 onwards.

I love it

This is a great pod. I don’t have time to catch all the games and this keeps me updated

La Liga as it lives

Almost all the La Liga coverage available in the English-speaking world feels like it looks in from the outside, looking at La Liga with a Premier League or MLS lens. Phil and Sid give something refreshingly different, partly because they live there and live it, and also because they’re good at translating not only the differences in the game but also the culture in which the game is played. A listen I look forward to every week.

Bueno, pero…

As Barça are wallowing in mediocrity and Madrid are middling with an aging team but backing into winning a lackluster league I am listening to the pod less. The two Madrid based journos try to hide their bias but they seem to rejoice in Barça incompetence and slurp the average, what they were Madrid veterans, and Asensio for some reason. Y como se mojan por Vinicius.
