The Totally Football Show

 

If you’re a fan of the Premier League and the big leagues around Europe look no further than the Totally Football Show with James Richardson.

Richardson always has a few guests with him to dissect the latest results and news from across the big leagues with humour, sharp knowledge and puns a plenty in classic Jimbo tradition.

Our favourite weekly show of the pod is the European Edition where Jimbo joins Julien Laurens (Ligue 1), James Horncastle (Serie A), Alvaro Romeo (La Liga) and Raphael Honigstein (Bundesliga) to discuss the big 4 European leagues in detail.

Golazzo – The Totally Italian Football Show

Another brilliant weekly podcast from James Richardson and the Totally Football team. Golazzo – The Totally Italian Football Show is one for fans of Serie A football and nostalgia.

Jimbo links up with James Horncastle and Gabriele Marcotti to look at one subject per week: from superstars of yesteryear like Francesco Totti and Gianfranco Zola, to polarising managers like Arrigo Sacchi and Alberto Malesani.

The level of knowledge on each subject is deep and it is one of the easiest listening podcasts around with so many stories and anecdotes to keep you entertained.

Another one for fans of daily football podcasts. ESPN FC’s crew of hosts and guest serve up at least one podcast a day, sometimes even two or three!

All the big leagues are touched on with a big emphasis on the English Premier League. The hosts have great chemistry, keep the show flowing and the listener interested.

Our favourite from the weekly shows is the Gab and Juls show (Gabriele Marcotti & Julien Laurens) who look at the European leagues with the help of football expert journalist guests such as Sid Lowe, Mark Ogden and more.

Football Ramble

That Peter Crouch Podcast

Peter Crouch is one of the funniest ex-footballers around and suits the podcast world to a tee. Peter, Tom Fordyce and Chris Stark drop a weekly guide on how to be a professional footballer with a loose topic.

Each episode is a lot of fun, packed full of insight from dressing room stories, football confessions, transfers, keeping on the right side of your manager and even where to sit on the team bus.

For a light-hearted and funny take on football this one is probably the best.
