MancWanderer Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Now that Colin Murray has gone from Talksport I've taken to downloading podcasts to listen to in the car (iPhone wanker) Anyone got any recommendations for decent ones? Quite like the Andrew Flintoff/Robbie Savage/Matthew Syed one but struggling to find any others that are good other than the odd decent episode Edited March 27, 2017 by MancWanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowack Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Seeing as I cannot stand anyone you have just listed I may not be the best person to offer advice on this but I would give Bob Mortimer a listen on athletico mince. He tells a good tale mostly about folllowing England and mostly made up. The bloke who does it with him walks a fine bellend line though. Jules beat me to it.

Northender Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Another to say Athletico mince, but you'll really have to listen to all the previous episodes to understand what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 Don't know if you're into it but you can get episodes of I'm sorry I haven't a clue from iTunes. Think you have to pay, but very funny nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Just googled Athletico Mince - I'll give that a go Infinite Monkey Cage - that was one that I found very up and down - the odd really good episode but some absolute boring shitters Desert Island Discs - yeah, but again some of them are tedious - I find the best are the unexpected ones - Nigel Owens, the gay Welsh rugby ref - fuck me - won't spoil it for anyone that wants to listen to it but the day that he walks out into the hills - real dust in the eye stuff The Flintoff/Savage one surprised me - both regularly admit to their past failings (drunken buffoon and a wanker who deliberately wound up opposition supporters and players) - but Flintoff's battle with depression is worth a listen as is Savage's take on the behaviour of parents at kid's matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Another vote for the mince here. Starts well and gets funnier - although I reckon Bob should just do it on its own. If you like bonkers Americans then Dogman Encounters Radio is a good laugh. On the flip side - if you enjoy science programmes - The Skeptics Guide to the Universe have been putting out brilliant weekly podcasts for the best part of a decade now.....

MancWanderer Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Ta all for the suggestions - any more are welcome - doing a lot of mileage at the moment (Merc wanker to add to iPhone wanker) and bored shitless with the radio Will give all of them a go. TMGJ - couldn't find "Sorry I haven't a clue" on my phone - guessing I'll have to do it via my laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Just get LBC ont dab Last time I listened to that, despite the fact that they claimed that it wasn't all about London but Britain, it was all about London Admittedly it was a while ago. Has it changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted March 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's still London centric but then so is radio 5 Its not so London that I can't cope with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted March 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - if you're into minutely-detailed but easy-listenable history lectures delivered by a pure enthusiast. His WW2 series titled 'Blueprint for Armageddon' is particularly good, although it consists of 6 episodes and most of them are 4 hours long. As said above, "Athletico Mince" is fantastic. "Answer Me This" is a good one too. As is "The Bugle" if you like satire and cricket jokes. Edited March 27, 2017 by Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted March 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Seriously, Athletico Mince is all you need There are currently 41 episodes which is around 32 hours worth. You need to start from the beginning but it's absolutely fucking brilliant. Utter madness. Edit: as a fellow merc/iphone wanker clocking up endless miles, this podcast (along with several decent playlists) is getting me through some suicidal traffic.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted March 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 It was fucking fantastic when Dele Alli and Harry Kane did that secret handshake celebration thing the other week after scoring. Maybe Bob's stories about Spurs aren't entirely fictional.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted March 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 Going watching Athletico Mince in Manc next week. Not sure that's how it was advertised, it was just Bob Mortimer on twitter saying that they fancied putting on a tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I like the Guardian Football weekly one with James Richardson. Although I am a bedwetter. I'll get slated for this but Scummy Mummies is good (its not what you think LW, so clam down) Other one's I quite like: Infinite Monkey Cage My Dad Wrote A Porno Adam Buxton Kermode and Mayo film reviews News Quiz on Radio 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Crawley, listen to Robert Elms's podcast of his Radio London show. I suggest picking through the Radio 4 section on the iTunes store, plenty on there to cover all interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
