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. |  | | |  |

Funny. |
He comes across as a right weasel.
At least Cruncher for all of his failings is up front with it. Even if most of it is over the top. |  | | |

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 |
Haven’t you been trying to get on TT for the last 6 months?
Apparently you have donated around a couple of grand to the cause? | | | |

Weasel is a great description. Strikes me as one of those bratty small kids in the playground that would shout "I know you are, but what am I?" to everything. | | | |

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.... |

I am a town fan and have been all my life I am absolutely gobsmacked at the utter rubbish I’m reading about people wanting to do a podcast ?? I’m sure we are all adults here and I’m sorry if you don’t want to listen to it or partake your hiding it well behind totally shocking abuse you lot need to grow up #bekind | | | |

....always has been.
The blue tick singer/songwriter comes across as a playground bully who cries like a little bitch when he gets some back.
He has remarkable double standards, standing against online abuse whilst calling people rats and championing anti bullying whilst taking the p*ss out of people that work at McDonalds. |  |

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! |
Just get an Anchorman style showdown sorted with all the pods and YouTube shows. The winner gets to keep doing the show the rest have to stop. | | | |

Sorry Heidi, I just don't take too kindly to 'part timers' slating professionally trained journalists who know a darn sight more about football than the TT lot. | | | |

If that's his real view of this forum and he has aspirations of his own, then you'd think he'd have the sense to remain quiet, maybe show a little class.
But no, it has to be dragged through the gutter every time.
If you're gonna put yourself in the public eye, there are going to be comments, both positive and negative.
If you can't take it and intend to go in all 'Trump-like' every time then maybe the gig isn't for you. |  |

It's genuinely infuriating.
I'm going to try and say this as professionally as I can, so feel free to call me out if I say anything out of line.
As a sports journalism student myself, it does my head in to see a minority of our fanbase, who know nothing about the professionalism of journalism, calling out the local media. One of the journalists at the EADT is my mentor, and the amount of abuse they've endured from certain fans in our fanbase is genuinely horrifying.
I'm not going to call out the said podcast, as I genuinely believe it's each to their own. From a PR perspective, though, the way they conduct themselves on social media is dreadful. One of the hosts apparently works in the media industry. He's a perfectly reasonable individual in person, but surely he must know when to draw the line? Even media law, especially when dealing with newspapers.
But then again, what I've written might not necessarily be fair. As somebody who has their own podcast, I've been disheartened by some of my interactions with the hosts. They were hostile when I first started creating it - most of which was for my university coursework. I wish all the podcasts could get along. All the shows create some fantastic content, from TT to BM.
The said podcast lot are all lovely people when you talk to them individually. I talk to a few of them regularly, so I'm in no way bashing them. [Post edited 13 May 2021 20:39]

From the initial post it's like he's looking for a reaction. Almost like they pre planned it in a WhatsApp chat so they have something to talk about on what must be a 5th consecutive day of live shows.
For someone that earlier claimed to not know what a forum was it didn't take long for him to put his little wellies on.
Den of rats or whatever he calls it, he's not winning to many new fans in the thread | | | |

All of this is of no surprise.
They appear easily worried and aggrivated and a little peek behind the curtain at the hostility they have shown someone that's trying to further themselves is very telling. Any decent human would use their platform to help mentor and develop any new one and offer a way to make everyone work together.

I found Twitter so much better when they weren’t on it during that black out. They do seek out controversy and also attract it.
I’ve said before their guests shows are pretty good but I don’t listen to it when it’s just them. They aren’t my cup tea, from a presenting point of view or the way they go about things. | | | |

This is the thing.
They say they are great 'content creators'. The reality is, they have had a few decent guests and allowed them to chat for 3/4 of the show. I still hark back to that Matt Slater interview, where the usual suspects just sat there on screen with their tongues sticking out, lapping up his every word. It was the Matt Slater Show, not 'Talking Town'. | | | |

Exactly. Again, I'm not trashing their content. It's the interactions I've had with them that have been disheartening.
You always get the minority like that on social media, though. It is what it is. | | | |

They were claiming one of their contributors had some “def info” so I watched the clip & the first words he uttered were “I think”
