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.
Football Daily
You know you love football when you’re subscribed to the BBC 5 Live Football Daily podcast.
The crew at the BBC pump out around 40 minutes of football news and interviews per day for fans to enjoy – and it’s extremely well put together and professional. You wouldn’t expect anything less from the BBC.
The Monday Night Club hosted by the fantastic Mark Chapman with guests Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Ian Wright is our favourite from the week as they dissect the weekend's football action. Expect special guests aplenty too, featuring a wealth of current and ex-pro's opinion and insight.
Fox Football Podcast
One for local Australian football fans. The Fox Football Podcast is released weekly and hosted by Adam Peacock – someone we know well!
It centres around the A-League and each week you’ll find a special guest from the local game who will give insight on all things Australian football as well as touching on issues abroad.
Also, keep a look out for the special one-on-one pods where Adam goes in depth with some of the biggest names in the sport such as Ange Postecoglou and Ola Toivonen.
ESPN FC
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
Football Ramble is a must-listen for any football fan that enjoys the more entertaining side of the world’s favourite sport.
It’s one of the longest standing football podcasts having been going since 2007, so the guys have definitely got the hang of things by now! The podcast centres around four guys who chat casually about football with plenty of jokes.
Football Ramble is an excellent podcast for those who want to check in once a week for some football news for an hour or so, get caught up with the latest developments and have a few laughs along the way. You know it’s a good pod when it’s topped the podcast charts over the years.
Calcioland
Fans of the of Serie A must check out the Calcioland podcast with David Amoyal. Calcioland puts out 2 – 3 episodes per week focussed on Serie A, with many guest journalists and fan writers from clubs joining in to make this one of the best football podcasts around.
Many listeners tune in over the transfer window periods because David does a great job pushing out the latest transfer news and rumours.
A neat touch is that Calcioland also offers written content for fans of Calcioland with weekly articles on Serie A.
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.
The Official Fantasy Premier League Podcast
Fantasy Premier League is a big deal. Everyone wants to get one over their mates and if there’s something that can help you get insights over your rivals you’re surely going to tune in, right?
Look no further than the Official Fantasy Premier League Podcast with James Richardson for all the inside information on what transfers to make, who to look out for, when to play your chips, the latest injury concerns and any other relevant fantasy football chatter!
FPL's a marathon, not a sprint so keep tuning in to FPL experts to make sure you're set up for success and never miss a crucial double game week opportunity again!
Guardian Football Weekly
Last but certainly not least is the award-winning Football Weekly podcast from The Guardian which offers a twice-weekly dose of puns and punditry, news and analysis – from the Premier League and around the world.
Like Football Ramble, these guys have been at it for years (13 in fact!) so they know what works and how to structure a 1 hour pod to comment on the game with an irreverence that ensures the listener has a good time.
Host Max Rushden and Barry Glendenning – a guest since the very first year – work well together and provide an informed view, bolstered by a strong list of guests that continue to make this arguably the best football podcast around!
