Thought the bloody same this morning. Cranked it right up and almost crashed the car when Crackers came on
I think Ricky finds the guests with the most annoying voices possible then cranks them right up so listeners won’t think his weak little voice isn’t quite as annoying as it really is 🤣

Also I have to say that generally a lot of his guests are absolutely clueless about football, they get the occasional good one but for the most part they’re awful, Lee McQueen bless him love his enthusiasm but he’s so so hit and miss but he’s actually one of the better ones, Crackers seems like a nice bloke but his analogies get tiring but beyond them a lot of their others guests are just absolutely terrible and it’s all so repetitive and too long.

Any good podcasts at the moment?

Ricky.S and his band of merry weirdos still chatting rubbish every week?

My favourite is Same Old Spurs hosted by DJ/Producer/MC and Talksport presenter Majestic and his mate Gazza (no not real one)

It’s really well produced, with funny features and occasional guests but mainly it’s just two best mates who have been going to matches for around 30 years chatting about all things spurs, in a really balanced way, but without diluting any of the clear passion they have supporting the club.

My other weekly listen is The Extra Inch. More for the tactics nerds, but again I find their chatter really balanced but they go a step further by backing a lot of their opinions with statistical evidence. Not for everyone but I think it’s an interesting approach.

Both are infinitely more listenable than ‘Last word on spurs’ which has just morphed into spurs twitter in podcast form, and all the wildly misinformed views and faux outrage that comes with it.

I can’t be dealing with his voice. Am sure he’s a nice fella but that voice. I expect to hear in the background

I've listened to at least eight or nine Spurs podcasts and learned that you can't go wrong if you listen to anything OTHER than LWOS.

As has been said on previous pages, it really depends on why you want to listen to one.

If you want journalists that cover Spurs, you can ask anyone here and they'll have different preferences, but the best, and all worth your listen, are Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham (Ali Gold - SC member and Rob Guest from football.london), View From the Lane (the Athletic), and The Tottenham Way (Dan Kilpatrick - Evening Standard, Tom something from the Sun, and another one?).

The rest are podcasts listening to fans who are (mostly) going to the matches and are season ticket holders. The best of those in my opinion is An Echo of Glory but others have recommended many, many more in previous pages. I like these as an American because I feel more closely connected with Spurs fans and I get a better sense of what the club is like now and what it has been over the decades.

Maybe we should ask you - what exactly are you wanting to spend your time listening to Spurs related? I think we at this fine SC establishment can find the right fit for you

Love this lol!

I mostly listen to VFTL and recently Gold and Guest but really appreciate all the info mate.

The new Spurs one hosted by King & Daws I think could be good but only listened to one so far.

I only listen to VFTL and Extra Inch. They're not too laddish.

The Extra Inch might not be laddish, but they sure are full of themselves. I still listen from time to time, but sometimes Windy and Nathan just gets too much for me.

Windy has been quite down on Sarr from the start of this season and then doesn't have the humility to admit he was wrong when Sarr keeps showing his importance to the team.

Solomon is another who he has disliked from the start because he reminds him of Lucas with just head down dribbling. See below for a childish tweet example from today.

Manor has started two PL games for us. In one of them he created 5 chances and got 2 assists. He could score the winner against United and Windy would go something like 'yeah, but did you see in the 57 minute when he had the ball on the left hand side and failed to see Udogie on the underlap, he just lacks the intelligence to excel at this level'.

Quite agree - these are the best three by a country mile.

I did email LWOS about their volume discrepancy and thought that it was improved, listening to the latest one last night. May be a coincidence but I'll take a little credit.

I like Last Word on Spurs.

I think some take these podcasts too seriously, they aren't claiming to be analysts, just a random assortment talking Spurs.

That said they are always just a half listen/back ground noise whilst I'm out for a run/walk/gym. I'm sure if I was sitting down purely to listen I may have firmer views.

The Tottenham way is worth checking out. One spurs fan (Marcus "kompany will be our manger" butland) and between 1 to 3 journos including Dan Kilpatrick.
Obviously Marcus talks like a fan but the other 3 are all pretty neutral and honest about us.

Exactly this. There are enough out there to get what you want. When we win I listen to VFTL, TFC, Echoes of Glory, that Australian one and the Gold and Guest one. Going to give the Tottenham Way a go. All depend on what mood I’m in.

I stopped listening to Extra Inch when they spent months just being extremely negative about Mourinho. Not that the negativity wasn't warranted, but it just got so grating and boring and I've never managed to go back to it since.

The Tottenham Way is really good for their quick reaction pods after a match which is nice from journos there at the ground and not the same as a fan's reaction podcast

Somebody pages back mentioned Nathan's annoying laugh. It didn't bother me so much before I read that comment but now I can't help but notice it. Really petty but it's true - it is too annoying and that's one of the reasons TEI has dropped down in the pecking order for me

Plus I don't really find any analysis of the team or players any more insightful from Nathan "the tactics guy" than any other really good fan podcast. He just seems overly obsessed with how teams press. So it's completely lost any of its appeal.

Plus even though they are my generation, I don't concern myself with virtue signaling and political correctness as much as they do which just gives me too much eye-rolling to waste my time
