The difficulty with satirising something as painfully banal as a sports radio phone-in is that the results are often themselves just as painfully banal. Luckily the performances of Adefope and Craig do as good a job as they can of rising above Smith and Jones’ stilted script, but it remains to be...Read full review »

I’m not a football fan but I found this absolutely hilarious. The characters are brilliant and the attention to details with all the fake adverts is so clever. Love it

Brilliantly funny, painfully spot-on and unlike anything I’ve listened to before. So funny and clever, laughing out loud on the train…absolutely love it!

As a football fan and someone that tunes in and out of sport radio, this podcast made me laugh loads. It’s focused on everything that is unintentionally hilarious about the genre, from the phone-ins, right down to the adverts. Looking forward to future eps. Excellent listen.

Loving this! It really captures the unhinged nature of live sports phone ins - all with a healthy glug of surreal nonsense and some brilliant characters. Can’t wait for more

Had us both laughing out loud in the kitchen. Poking fun at football phone ins but clearly made by people who love football phone ins. Want to hear the rest!

Very clever and funny look at the beautiful game and the upside down world in which we live

Gave this a listen after hearing the preview on Football Weekly. Loved it. I stopped listening to real football phone-in’s a long time ago because of the ridiculous callers that phoned in. So I found this spoof style show hilarious. Great acting and chemistry between those involved. Can’t wait...Read full review »

Great writing well performed. Thought this was excellent. Did have me laughing out loud several times . It's quick and pacy and well observed, even for someone who doesn't listen to much sports radio.Read full review »

Dial F for Football is elegantly written and beautifully performed. The writing has the authetic 'off the cuff' feel of radio, and the behind the scenes segments give an intimate character insight. While football is obviously a huge talking point the show pivots on the relationship of the...Read full review »

I really enjoyed this. I’m not really a football fan, but I thought I’d give it a go. It made me properly laugh out loud - so funny and well written. So many brilliantly awful characters. Definitely recommend, whether or not you are usually into sports radio!
