[Albion] Albion Unlimited-BBC Sussex

[John Byrnes Mullet]

I always listen but could be a lot better.
No input from Albion fans and the weekly guest is normally a poor choice.
A great opportunity for them to make an excellent radio programme.
It would be worth a listen if our old favourite Ian Hart was presenting the show.
Any other ideas?

When's it on?

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Tuesday 7pm if we are not playing.

Never knew it even existed to be honest , so it's a Albion based radio show with no fan or club input ? ................................i'm going to get a whoosh here aren't i

Haven't listened for a few weeks, they seem to have stopped plugging it and i must admit I've got a new podcast app and not subscribed yet. Who is the latest guest?

I fail to see how Ian Hart would make it more listenable tbh. It's not a bad show at all.

Just started listening to 'Together: A Brighton & Hove Albion Podcast'.

Bit of a different podcast. An American-based Seagulls fan reviewing the statistical and tactical side of Albion performances.

Listened to Albion Unlimited a few times, but I can take it or leave it tbh. Its fairly low down the list on my must-listen pods, I only resort to it when I've run out of all the good ones for the week.

I like it generally, I think Cantor and Aspinall generally speak sense, and always interesting to hear from their BBC counterparts that cover the opposition that we are next playing. However, the main presenter (Adrian Harms is it!?) is a complete tool, who appears to know next to nothing about football or presenting a radio show.

The weekly guest is normally a poor choice.

To give people an idea if they are poor then this season the guests have been, amongst others, Kerry Mayo, Adam Virgo, Henry Winter, Alan Mullery, Guy Butters, Spencer Vignes (talking about Bloody Southerners), Ben Thatcher (Royal Blood), Elliot Bennett, Don Goodman, Tommy Elphick, Jules Breach and a last minute booking no doubt with someone called Kieran Maguire.
And normally the BBC Radio equivalent of Johnny Cantor previewing their local team (eg: this week it was the Radio Leeds Hudds commentator)

You can subscribe to it on the BBC Sounds app (but its also on Spotify and the other normal places).

No input from Albion fans

Radio Sussex has a fan phone in after every home game featuring dozens of fans calls, tweets and texts..
"The Final Whistle" https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06qgh7m - you can listen to that on demand.

The calls and point of view is always referenced in Albion Unlimited in the opening 10 minute look back at the previous Saturday game.
eg: most of the discussion this week was about fans views that Hughton is cautious, and the 'poor" performances in recent games .
And obviously most of the guests are either ex Albion players or fans. including some regulars who post on here.

Why the fook would you want to listen to input from Albion fans?

 

[bhanutz]

I like it...It is an easier listen than the Albion Roar.

Agreed. But completely different budget, and therefore production values. So probably unfair comparison.

Thats true and I like The Albion Roar and am very grateful for their pod but the constant in jokes and regular lecturing can be hard work.

Maybe it could be better but I like it too. You get little insights for instance this week they were talking about giving the youngsters a shot and what age they started, Warren was 17 and Guy Butters was 18 when they played for the first team.

Again, definitely agreed.

This. I've caught the post-match stuff on the way back from games sometimes and most of the time I'm thinking 'What ARE you on about?' Geezer on Saturday was moaning about the performance and wanted Hughton out of the club ASAP. Turns out he'd made up his mind by listening to the game on the radio

 

[Notters]

I think it's bloomin' good to be honest, but then I remember the days when we didn't even get a mention (Radio Slurry).

Never miss it, love it.
