We Are Going Up! Interview: Podcasting the Football League

Having made a number of appearances on podcasts in recent years including Two Footed Tackle and The Tilehurst End, our founder writers Lloyd and Lanterne Rouge are perhaps inclined to go in the corner and hide, such are the demands of stationing oneself behind the microphone.
