Fantastic news. That's the drive home sorted. 2 years of frustration
I mustn't spoil it for you, but you'll need to slow down when talking about Spurs' full backs.
I wouldn't want you missing the end of this Albion season.

Listened to S-Town last week. Still swirling around in my head a fair bit. Absorbing stuff.

Just a small bounce to say the Ed Sheeran DID is now available.
The funny thing is I'm not THAT bothered about ol' Ed. Some tracks are good but I find most of it a bit meh.
However, the DID is well worth a listen. Seems a genuinely nice bloke, obsessed with his music and a great story. Some may view it differently but I really enjoyed it.
Not sure if this has been mentioned before but "Quickly Kevin: Will He Score" is one I've only just stumbled across. A 90's football love-in with comedians. Brilliant as a child of the 90's.

I've just started Dan Snow's History Hit one. Been a bit hit and miss so far, and can be a bit cursory, but the Waterloo one with his Dad I thought was excellent. Genuinely passionate and enlightening.

The "Savage" part was the bit putting me off but I'm willing to give it a go.
As with TV, the football season has had a serious effect of my podcasts. I think I'm down to a few Radio X ones (Ellis James and John Robbins are fantastic), The Bugle (there's almost too much nonsense for them to cover at the moment), DID.
I need comedy, documentary or sporting suggestions asap.

Comedy:-
RHLSTP is back, Richard Herring's first interview in this season is Paul Merton.
- I'm sure you're already all over Radio 4's comedy output.
- As usual No Such Thing as a Fish, stripped down QI.
Documentary:-
Not sure this is what you're after but I'm still a big fan of, The Futility Closet - 'a celebration of the thought provoking and curious'. 20 minutes on an event big or small in history, and 10 minutes of other stuff.
Damn Interesting - a sporadic 'cast, 20 minutes on one event, spookily I listened to the most recent one about a massive casino fire before I knew Grenfell Tower was still ablaze.
Presidents are People Too - Some American 'behind the scenes' history.
Sport
Quickly Kevin Will He Score - Josh Widdicombe dissects 90's football.
A lot of my other stuff is either cycling or American.
I'm slightly biased, but some of my colleagues in the University of Liverpool podcast produce amazing academic content on a broad range of topics, the most recent being an analysis of the DUP that made me reassess my views of them.
Savage allows himself to have the P ripped out of him all the time which makes for good listening. RHLSTP is back, get on that, Paul Merton is first up then Joe Thomas (Simon from the inbetweeners).

I listened to the latest Flintoff Savage and The Ping Pong Guy. Really good.
As said above, Savage get's the P ripped from him which I enjoy.
A brilliant quote from him was something along the lines of
"My mate Dave from Wrexham is a taxi driver. He's a mate for life. I can only really count my proper friends on one hand. He's one. I know if I was stuck anywhere, they are the friends I could call"
Flintoff: "That's because he's a taxi driver."
