Used to really enjoy it, and podcast on the way to work the next morning if I missed it. The talk of them being best taking their time to compose and react to events is a bit of a reach. They have made bank, and either couldn't be bothered or now 10 years on have other responsibilities like families etc. Presumably a combination of both. Can't blame them either, but no need to tie oneself into knots defending it.

Pete Moss wrote: » What about the Super League? They reacted to that almost on the day as the news was breaking, just as every other football podcast did. Similar type pods to huge football tournaments that come around every 2 years, like the Euros or WC, could be put out with the same presentation and delivery.

If you want a decent angle on it with a smathering of humour and some good interviewing you go with SC You can get 'sports breaking news' in tonnes of media outlets these days. You'd be a fool to JUST focus on that angle as a podcast.
