3. On The Continent

Forza Italian Podcast
On The Continent

Hailing from the same production company as The Football Ramble, On The Continent is a one-stop-shop for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of the football played off of England’s shores. The two Football Ramble regulars, Marcus Speller and Luke Moore, are joined by Italian football expert, James Horncastle, and European football writer, Andy Brassell, for a deep delve into the week's stories from mainland Europe.

Both Horncastle and Brassell are incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter so are able to provide the inside track on developing stories from all the top European leagues. This kind of expert analysis sets the show apart from others that only take a fleeting look outside of the Premier League. Also, for a show that focuses on the lesser known leagues, the accessibility of the show to the everyday fan is commendable and is sure to provide the listener with a solid base upon which to build their knowledge of the game.

The show is released twice a week with a review of the weekend’s action on a Wednesday and a “mailbag” show on a Saturday. The Saturday show is dedicated solely to answering questions that have been submitted by listeners so if you have a burning question about football that you need answered, this could be the podcast for you.
