FANtastic must listen podcast for any fellow Villans!

Dan, Matt and John get full marks for their enthusiasm for all things claret and blue sprinkled with the occasional scepticism that Villa fans know only too well.

Fantastic podcast listening to Ron Atkinson memories being in charge at Villa well done to Matt Kendrick . More of these podcasts with past players managers would be brilliant

I genuinely look forward to my Monday morning commute to listen to Dan, John, Matt et al talk through our weekend games and then find myself constantly awaiting new podcasts. This is a really great show full of good content, a little fun but no waffle. Well done on a great podcast guys and...Read full review »

I was looking for a good Villa pod to keep me informed about the team (since I live in Winnipeg there isn’t much local coverage). This pod is my favourite that I have found. It’s Villa-positive without being completely biased. The analysis is fair and balanced. The pre-game and post-game pods...Read full review »

Listen to the podcast religiously, great work guys.
Alexandra1692 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/16/24
A great listen for any villa fan out there. A good mix of ‘heat of the moment’ immediate reaction to games and performances but equally balanced with the bigger picture stand back view of the club’s direction. Nice to hear differing viewpoints too - you’ve got the media view, the fan view, the...Read full review »

Good, relevant content that keeps me amused on my commute. John with the serious stuff and Matt with the occasional dad joke. One of my go to podcasts.

Villa fan in Ireland and would listen regularly on my runs each week, fair play lads keep up the great work and of course UTV!
Atnas1234 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 02/15/24
Excellent Podcast, I listen to it every week. Dan, Matt and John are always a good listen
All things Villa via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/24
Usual Villa slant but to be honest is balanced and at times brutally honest...I started listening late on and have binged on the archive which has some well made documentaries added in... They have also managed to get some great Villa interviews, John Gregory, Steve Hunt, Alan Hutton and Martin...Read full review »

Always honest, always relevant, always timely, always entertaining. I listen to several Villa podcasts and enjoy them all. However, this is currently the top of my podcast league purely on the consistent quality and range of styles (love the variety), guests, presenters and views. Keep up your...Read full review »

Love this pod. A weekly must. Brings Villa football news and culture to America. Top drawer!
Scott614 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
I have seen a few Aston Villa podcasts over the years, but Claret & Blue is a must listen if you are a Villa fan. The lads have a great dynamic, always great information provided and nice to see honest genuine opinions. Enjoying the new ideas for episodes lately, keep it up.
kdidiejdejsjdjd via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/24
Love listening to the Claret and blue podcasts whilst at work in Australia. The engagement with supporters is great with Dan regularly answering my my questions on the podcast. Keep it up guys.
Brentow 1980 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/14/24
Great, regular commentary from Journalist fans who attend every home game. Nicely connected to the wider Villa podcast community, these chaps keep me connected when I work away and can’t get to VP. It’s been great to watching them get better and better on camera. UTV!
KingZeef via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/24
Has become a waffle fest at times, and they seem to just take ideas from the other pods and reproduce them with less insight and quality.
TheSamClarke via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/26/24
An excellent podcast and all I need to keep up with everything Villa! The best thing about it is the people. I enjoy spending my time with Dan, John, Matt, and others. They are informed, thoughtful, funny, and passionate about what they do. Up the Claret and Blue Podcast!

My Villa lifeline in Brisbane. Reminding me what solid Brummie accents sound like after 15 years away
100 iPod via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/25/23
Been keeping up with the podcast for a couple years now & always enjoy the content. I like when Mat goes off on a tangent...only complaint is the constant sharp intake on breath from John, wearing headphones it goes right through me! UTV
Booga81 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/19/23
Sometimes they are still broadcasting at midnight after a night game but these guys are always first off the marks for post match reaction. I hate waiting for days for reaction, as you have to do with most other Villa podcasts, so this is amazing. They also give each other plenty of room to...Read full review »

Villa fan in Ireland. I’ve been listening for years and this is my goto villa podcast by a mile. Very informative and great content. The chat is brilliant and always on point. The layout is spot on. Dan is a fantastic host and his contributors are brilliant. Great show, and thank you for bringing...Read full review »

Great coverage of Villa, on and off the pitch. Well balanced- celebrate the good, don’t sugarcoat the bad. They really know the game and give good insights from press conferences and matches

Recently discovered your podcast while hunting Villa content to listen to on the morning commute- well done on a really good listen!
DrAJB1983 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/12/23
For all things Villa, this is the best place to start. Always passionate and informed with regular up to date content. Keep up the good work

As a die hard villa fan from London. This is my new go to since I’ve found it. Keep up the good consistent work guys!
NLNN123 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/11/23
Always listen the the lads whenever something new drops. Appreciate the commitment to give us a quality podcast week in week out. Keeps it up lads. From the other side (new zealand)
big boy. via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/11/23
I’ve been listening to the show since the lockdowns and it’s become my go to show for all things Villa related. It’s very professional while keeping the casual ‘lads down the pub’ feel to the conversations. Dan keeps things flowing while John provides the insights from Bodymoor Heath & Villa...Read full review »
Xanas7 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/11/23
Love this podcast, my go to for previewing and post match football chat. Love John’s insights into Emery’s press conferences as it helps get fans closer to the inner family of Villa. I also sit in the trinity stand, so often have the same view point as Dan and Matt, so can always relate to their...Read full review »

This is one of the best Aston Villa podcast out there. It’s a great listen done with humour and quality Villa information . I personally look forward to the content coming out every week
Cashy2116 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/10/23
Love listening to the pod on my walk to and from the office. Great detailed research with some good humour along the way.

The only Villa podcast I need, relatable hosts that talk sense and an enjoyable sense of humour.
I.a.n.b via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/10/23
Down to Earth, funny and insightful. As a Villa fan who lives in London, I’m not able to go to many matches, this podcast brings me closer to Villa park and makes me feel part of the Villa family.
Ben Woodsmith via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/10/23
I listen to the vast majority of Villa podcasts out there and the Claret & Blue podcast is definitely up there with that very best. Dan is a superb host, producing excellent content and frequent too, with new pods landing straight after matches, press conferences, signings etc. Jon and Mat...Read full review »

Always a good balanced review of Villa games, with a decent amount of fun too.
Hamblerton via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/10/23
Brilliant podcast with excellent insight and great interaction with the listeners. My go-to one-stop-shop for all things B6.
jay peeee via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/10/23
I’ve been regularly listening to the Claret and Blue podcast since the lockdown season and Dan, John, Matt and guests are a class act. Always optimistic, honest and entertaining. You do the Villa proud. Keep up the good work chaps
robreeves via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/23
Love the show and appreciate the hard work and long hours that goes into producing such consistently high quality output. Watch every episode, but do worry that Matt has remembered to put the bins out after a late night shift Thanks lads, keeps me in touch with my hometown club and I know I can...Read full review »
LeedsVilla via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/23
As above suggests, seriously impressive podcast; Rolo holds it all together with ease, John doesn’t miss a beat and Kendrick’s experience shines through (he should also consider stand up - seriously funny bloke). Don’t know what I’d do without it every week! UTV, we’re winning the league.
79sean via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/23
I’ve been listening for a while and I absolutely love their consistent and engaging content. Well worth a listen! Their Monday show is my favourite with a really detailed analysis of the game. Thanks and UTV!
