    Podcasts/audiobook recommendations

    Anyone listening to anything good or got any recommendations. Do prefer football based listening but willing to branch out.

    Have listened to a couple SAF ones, Martin O’Neill self narrated audiobook was great as I find him quite knowledgable and easy to listen to. Have also listened to Kevin bridges audiobook which was great.

    I've around an hour or so left of SAF first autobiography and enjoying it mostly.

    As I grew up "following" (watching) United in the 90s I've been leaning towards them in my search for online listening. Stick to football is great,dynamic between the guys works well imo. But a really enjoyable audiobook was the story of the 99 treble. Again though my leanings probably edged me towards it.

    Also in the market for recommendations

    If you’re an Alan Partridge fan then his audiobooks, narrated by Steve Coogan as Partridge, are brilliant.

    A podcast I enjoyed is Wind of Change, about the theory that the CIA were behind the Scorpions song. It features some great stories.

    Stick to football is very good. Enjoyed the OGS episode. Really showed up MU’s signing policy over last few years

    Fantastic listening Trinity. Quite the insight in to the state of the club overall. Players refusing to be captain and then asking which players didn't fancy playing for him at half time in his last game.

    Worth a listen for anyone interested

    Top Flight Time Machine is excellent, very loosely football based, and really funny.

    I've been listening to The Rest Is Politics, which is decent, and Bring on the Guillotine with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe and a guy whose name I can't remember. Can't make my mind up if I really like it though, only a few episodes in.

    If you are interested in the law and trials, The storyteller: Naked Villainy is a very good podcast. I never do patreon but this is one I'd recommend you pay for the extra episodes but it's not necessary. There's a few cases on it but the murder of Brenda Paige is the latest one.

    The rest is entertainment is good.

    I love Restless natives for light fun listening

    The trial of Lucy letby is harrowing but worth listening to.

    Listen to the Blindboy podcast every week.

    Boxing life stories by Tris Dixon is brilliant.

    A history of rock music in 500 songs.

    I’ve just started listening to the 500 songs podcast, from episode 1. I’m enjoying it so far but it’s going to take a looooong time to get through them.

    Here comes the guillotine is quite a good listen. Frankie Boyle, Susie McCabe and Chris MacArthur-Boyd chatting **** for an hour every Monday. Can be hit or miss but it usually has a few laughs.
    Restless Natives has been good recently too, some good guests on.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Full disclosure with James O’Brien is very good. Louis Theroux podcast. Life goals Theo Delaney. Not a podcast but desert island discs good also. Mostly enjoy one to one interviews.

    Old school here…….. buy a book.
    Tactile and informative.

    I can recommend the books by SGMcLean if you like historical storylines.
    The Damian Seeker series is very good..

    We Have Ways of Making You Talk is a WW2 podcast by Al Murray and a historian called James Hoffman.

    Goes in to fantastic detail and for any runners and walkers who like audio books this passes the time.

    I liked restless natives at the start then I felt it was just smart telling compston how good he is

    Really enjoying The Rest Is Entertainment podcast , found it by accident on tictoc it's a decent listen.
    Watts Occuring / The Geraint Thomas podcast is good if you're into cycling.

    I’ve just finished listening to Fever Pitch on audiobook. I’m a wee bit behind the curve with this one but it was really excellent, quite scary how much I could relate to and probably how ridiculous I am and most of us are as football fans.

    Any other recommendations for audiobooks like this? I really enjoy sports autobiography’s but they can become a bit samey some times so would quite like something similar to Fever Pitch. If anyone has any suggestions they’d be appreciated.

    Cheers

    I don't know if there's an audio book of it but open by Andre agassi is the gold standard for sports biographies.

    Started this few weeks ago, well behind but love it.

    If I'd realised it was James Holland I'd have been on it sooner. He's superb and I've read loads of his work.

    Couldn't work out who James Hoffman was

    There is, I saw it the other day.

    I read it previously and really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend, even for the non tennis fans among us.

    JR Moehringer who helped him write it has a book called "the tender bar" I'd recommend that as well (again, don't know if there is an audiobook)

    'The Far Corner' and 'The Farther Corner' by Harry Pearson are both excellent. Tales of travelling round north east England going to league and non-league football first in the mid-90s then in the late 2010s in the 2nd book. Very funny, worth a read.

    Sorry Jimmy that’s an awful error.

    James Hoffman sounds like an 80’s porn star.
