Good podcasts?

[Mellotron]

I really like The Guardian's Football Weekly. Wish they didn't do so much European football but James Richardson is a great host and it's not as serious as it could be. The Game is a bit shit without Phill Jupitus, and also has the misfortune of having Alison Rudd, who is thoroughly the worst pundit I've ever heard!

Another vote for Guardian Football weekly, it's excellent.

I would say Adam and Joe and Russell Brand's but unfortunately they are both stopped.

As another poster said, download The Ricky Gervais Guide to... series.

Rhod Gilbert and Jon Richardson are both worth a shout.

Guardian Football weekly is very good, as is the Ricky Gervais podcasts - but I prefer his older XFM stuff, the newer ones (as funny as they are) seem really forced and scripted

How did these recommendations, pan out?, and are there any more.
Just curious, like.

How many new fans are there of the Football Ramble?

It has well overtaken the excellent Guardian Football Weekly as my most anticipated podcast of each week

For me, it's now probably 2nd in the anticipation stakes, behind Fighting Talk.
That's after about 3 months of listening.
But something pretty drastic will have to happen to FT, for it to be nos1.

Enjoying the Ramble very much after the tip on here from Bluejuice, but personally still love Football Weekly the most.
I still listen to the Game (Times) but God it's so f***ing snooty. Oliver f***ing Kay on the f***ing phone, please f*** off!
Fighting Talk depends on the guests really.
5 live football daily's are good for keeping up to speed when you're away. Especially the Monday Night club, love it.
f*** I miss my football when I'm away!

Glad to hear it's catching on.

definitely Figthing Talk, especially when Bob Mills or Henning (can't remember the surname) is on.

edit: Henning Wehn.

My back-catalogue of Russell Brand podcasts is one of my most treasured posessions (not really but you get the idea...), it is truly fantastic and Matt Morgan was the best co-host ever - the way he took the piss out of Brand and the way Brand then latched onto it and sent himself up was amazing.

Anyone who hates Russell Brand would do well to listen to some of his podcasts, he comes across as a genuinely funny and actually quite warm-hearted (if deeply flawed) bloke. Definetely very different to the stage/tabloid persona anyway.
