Those odious gobsh1tes at Talking Town are back begging for 'respect' from the local media because a fan on their Monday 'show' suggested most players would be sold before Stuart and Andy broke their story at the EADT.
This is all frankly getting out of hand. Their absolute disdain for professionally trained journalists is a joke. I can't believe someone like Kate Riley - an experienced sports journalist herself - would align with such fans. |  | | |  |

I thought Cook said most of the players would be moved on well before Monday! | |

Rather than talk about ‘podcast’ vs local media can it not just be said that it is Talking Town.
None of the other podcasts draw one hundredth of the criticism that they do or cause one hundredth of the issues - they aren’t even really a podcast either, they are a YouTube fans channel |  |

Yes, apologies Joe. You're right, I am of course talking about Talking Town.
Also agreed on them being a YouTube channel rather than a podcast, especially given the lack of nuance!
Is it just me or is the main presenter the most arrogant individual involved? Claims the show is all about opinions and then laughs fellow fans off the screen when they have a different view to his. Hides it well with a patronising 'love you' though.... | | | |

Yeah it’s just the one.
The rest are a real decent listen, I did give TT a shot the once just to see... horrific |  |

It's fine for random fans to say what ever they like, but journalists have to be very careful about what stories they break especially as part of the newspaper. So it's no shock they wanted to check with their sources before releasing further details. |  |

There is a role for a podcast of their style & tone but their neediness and sneering at others, which I note even crept into their Detmer thing the other day, is unbecoming. Hope the new owners are careful to be discerning and keep them at arm's length when necessary, they'll turn nasty if things don't start going exactly to their liking in any case. | |

The first post literally says it is TT |  | | |

They seem to have muscled their way in to a position where they can 'interview' the owners and other big names purely on virtue of shouting the loudest and selling themselves as something they're not.
Far more concerned about being seen to be important than actually providing content. As has been said, something like it could work but is let down by having 3 of the world's most arrogant and insecure men host it. Naturally it seems to attract a lot of the dregs of the fanbase who both encourage and engage in the sort of behaviour TT promote. An absolute stain on the fanbase. |  |

Is there a podcast out there who HASN’T had some kind of interview with the owners? TT were talking up claims of exclusive the other week and were then quickly trumped by KOA. Said it before, the Lambert guy seems genuine but is let down by the other two who seem to be in a permanent state of shouty anger. Anyway, when fans are back in the ground and people can rant at the game and in the pub, their YouTube chat will surely fade to dust. | |

The bit that frustrates me is that no one seems to do their due diligence before appearing on the show with such an arrogant, rude and bullish group. Professionally no one in their right minds would put themselves on that, the decision for Kate reiley to involve herself is ridiculous and puzzling all the same.
Martin is beggining to get found out. He will, remove people from screen when not agreeing undermine people with a banner that reads views are not of the network displayed whenever someone is controversial.
Matt spouting off about doing people for libel today is a repeat of a threat he made weeks ago last time. They were under fire.
The issue is, and people are highlighting to them, they are generating increasing amounts of negativity and fans aren't forgetting the controversy so everyone piles in on issues old and new with lots of ammo against them. The case of belittling someone for their occupation at McDonald's springs heavily to mind.
In the same thread they have tried to discredit the longstanding local press, and play down the existence of this forum.
Think Martin works with Russell Claydon now as well | | | |

Yeah does seem like once it's known one of the owners is up for a chat everyone jumps at the chance. Would hate to read whatever TT sent to them as an interview request, probably cringey enough to make your skull shrink in on itself. That 'exclusive' claim and subsequent reveal of how not very exclusive at all it was was a good laugh, second only to bedsheet taking a not very subtle dig at Blue Monday for wearing non-Town kits then someone very quickly replying with a photo of the melt himself in a Barca top.
Hopefully, though I fear they'll try and take over that other lot who were trying to make themselves the 'Arsenal Fan TV' of Town. As SB says you'd like to think the owners etc. will work out who is best to talk to and who to avoid. | |

Cheers - I just find it frustrating that there is always talk of the 'podcast lot' on twitter and there is talk of how they are on their but feel like we at BM get associated when would like to think we aren't like that......although I have had an active day on there getting called out a bit today! | |

I don't think there's really an equivalence; I do think those lads create battles where there are none to be had. Everyone should be able to coexist without that. There's space for all. [Post edited 13 May 2021 20:15]

Speaking from experience, had nothing but support and constructive advice from the rest of the podcasts during my brief time running one (ITFC Unrestricted). All the boys from BM, as well as Ben's solo channel, KOA and GB of Naked Footy. Still chat with most regularly even with my hiatus from Twitter.
It's unfair of me to criticise the hardwork that Martin and others have clearly put in over the past year or so but incidents like this do taint the product. I've met Martin and Rich and they are perfectly civil and passionate Town fans in person. [Post edited 13 May 2021 20:16]
