I listen to a dozen podcasts each week and I’ve now worked out that more than half of them are about football, rather than politics – make of that what you will. The latest addition to my regular staple of podcasts is Quickly Kevin, Will He Score? hosted by the quick-witted Chris Scull, Josh Widdicombe and Michael Marden. Although its format is relatively standard for a podcast – host banter plus an interview with a guest – it is different in that it’s whole raison d’etre is only to talk about football from the 1990s. When my LBC producer Robbie Hawkins recommended it as something I would enjoy, I was sceptical. But, I’ve slowly become rather addicted, so much so that I’m now working my way through their entire five year back catalogue.
