One of those "so bad it's good" things which seems to have replaced Gossipmongers. Joe Wilkinson (8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, After Life etc.) & David Earl (AKA Brian Gittins, frequent affiliate of Gervais) waffle for 25mins per episode, generally bemoaning their own ineptitude. Sometimes the sound quality is rather shoddy, which they acknowledge, but it's a gentle and often amusing way to start your day.
I'd like to thank whoever it was on here who recommended "The Offensive". I'm about halfway through series 2, and and it's absolute gold. My favourite moment so far was when thy were going to announce Jon Obi Mikkel, but he didn't turn up so Nolan, with a load of razzmatazz and being raised up through a podium to fireworks and music, had to announce some non alcoholic drinks offer ("but not coffees").

Jackie the ripper was class, Joel and Adam hit my funny bone a lot
Todays offensive had me doubled up with laughter, I knew something like that was going to happen from the first 5 minutes and they delivered spectacularly. The Offensive is what I class as gold standard podcasting
Does anyone subscribe to the offensive on Patreon? Not overly tempted, but some of the extras might be good fun
I do, its worth it as well the engagement the makers have is warming. You get access to a lot of the making of type stuff and if its your thing discounts in the club shop as well
Also the philanthropic side of me wants to support people making genuinely excellent stuff like the offensive
The Rest is Politics - Alastair Campbell & Rory Stewart. Good, objective discussions on politics, not just the UK and they’ve had some very good guests on recently too.
The Price of Football - Kevin Maguire and Kevin Day - football finances pod and the Charlton Dossier gets an almost weekly shoutout.
Around the NFL - if you like NFL it’s the best out there. Not too serious and just a great group of people hosting it. Sadly Wess died last year.
Tortoise, Slow News - in-depth stories from around the world. I recommend at least listening to the Rwanda one.
Londongrad - Investigative look at Boris and his pals from the Kremlin.

Jayden Stockley is the guest on the latest one. Not listened yet, will probably catch while out for a ride on Sunday.
