3.75 - Frequently brilliant, occasionally frustrating - the Pogba of podcasts
Alex and Joe are two of the best hosts of a football podcast you could possibly ask for. Their banter is quick and witty, their observations are thought provoking (food for all those armchair pundits who think they know everything there is to know about football), and together they make for some brilliant listening. Some of their episodes are absolutely magnificent. Their mid and end of season reviews for 2017/2018, their review of the top four Championship clubs toward the end of 2017/2018, and some of their interviews are top notch. I listened to their World Cup analyses throughout the tournament and shared them with every person I knew. They made the World Cup even more enjoyable than it already was. That was them at their finest and I would recommend anyone to go back and listen to that whole series. That being said, they struggle for consistency in both publication of their cast as well as the topics that they cover. In one of their more recent casts they set out to publish weekly, covering the Premier League matches from the week prior (or at least interesting points from that week’s round of matches). They subsequently missed multiple match days, and of their last four podcasts, a least three spent significant portions covering the same happenings at Southampton and Manchester United. Yes, we know they are your favorite clubs, but the horse is already dead so you don’t need to continue beating it. It seems that they have forgotten that there are 18 other teams in the league! My hope is that if they are really stretched so thin that they don’t feel they can keep up with a weekly podcast, then they begin to set the expectations accordingly. Do not announce one thing and then miss your targets on day one. How would that be if a new manager of a floundering club announced that he was certain they would win their next game, only to unsurprisingly lose? The fans would be tearing their hair out. That’s where I’m at now. I hope you find a format that you can manage where you still have fun producing the podcast, while allowing fans to enjoy listening to it. Be creative. Cover all the teams equally. Or else I’m going to just have to give up and listen to horrible recordings of MNF instead. 😆
