“"53 Minutes" is a captivating and insightful podcast that takes listeners on a journey through one of football's most infamous stories. Hosted by the comedic talents of Josh Widdicombe and Dara Ó Briain, this podcast delves into the extraordinary circumstances that saw a below-average...”Read full review »

“Great presenters with great rapport, interesting event that would have made a really good 30 minute one off episode. This is stretched as thin as it could be over six episodes with a lot of filler in the script.”

“I enjoyed the back story and the variety of input from those around it but too much padding. Thank goodness for fast forward past ads and rambling between the hosts”

“Someone should do a six part podcast series investigating how two comedians managed to stretch out what is a funny little anecdote into an incredibly repetitive 3 hr plus series. It’s a shame because they’re both funny and good rapore, but they’ve got way too greedy for extra ad revenue here,...”Read full review »

“Great story presented by two genuinely interested hosts, just a shame they couldn’t do the interview with GS, could have been interesting?”

“Really enjoyed listening to the pod whilst out walking the dog. I was five when this all happened so I didn’t really know the details. Love hearing stories like this, although I’m aware there is only one story like THIS! Nice to hear different voices talking about football for a change,...”Read full review »

“So well put together.
An iconic moment in 90’s football. We’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time.
Bravo.”

“The story, presenters and interviews are all very good. However, the fake commentary from 90’s matches, which I think is the Tom Rennie, is unbelievably annoying, hence three stars.”

“A 10 minute story that everyone already knows dragged out over multiple episodes, reading from a script isn’t Widdicombes strong point.”

“Someone told you that you are funny. They were wrong. You had a good story. Then you tried to be funny. Were this a just world, that someone would be hung by his/her/its short hairs. And you would be bagging groceries and cleaning loos. In perpetuity.”

“I got it a phone call a dodgy player 53 minutes because it’s repeatedly regurgitated again and again… how can this one isolated incident spawn a whole episode let alone a series???? I get it once a player who wasn’t a player played end of surly”

“Ad breaks at the beginning middle and end are an instant ick.
Plus, I never see the point in having someone dub commentary. If you’re not going to play the original, then just don’t bother with any.”

“Unfortunately I have to agree with the other review. I love Josh Widdicombe. His Quickly Kevin show is one of my favourite ever podcasts but this show is a stretch. It’s heavily scripted and doesn’t have that natural flow. The fake commentary is quite jarring too. Seems like a struggle to make...”Read full review »

“I love Dara and I quite like Josh, but this is disappointing. It feels too scripted and stiff. Structurally and narratively it's a mess. I came to this not knowing anything about Ali Dia and after this first episode, which bounces between his debut, Italia 90 and another player's story...”Read full review »
