6 Essential Football Podcasts For The New Season

6. The Football Ramble

Put simply, The Football Ramble is the benchmark for a good football podcast. Their blend of insightful analysis and offbeat humour makes for an engaging and informative listen. The show started in 2009 and has risen to become the most popular independent football show in the world - lofty heights for a podcast that started in a kitchen.

They currently produce two shows a week that are centred around the Premier League: a Monday show that looks over the previous weekends games and a Thursday preview show for the upcoming weekend. This approach provides comprehensive coverage of the games which is perfect if you’re looking to learn more about the most competitive league in the world.

The high points of the podcast come from the chemistry between the four presenters. The line-up is comprised of football broadcasters Marcus Speller and Luke Moore, radio DJ Pete Donaldson and comedian Jim Campbell who each bring their unique perspectives to the biggest issues in the sport. Their friendship gives the podcast an endearing quality that makes the show feel like a chat you’d have with some mates in the pub.
