Celtic Podcasts.....

Quite apt we open this thread today, with 'James Von Doom' of 20MinuteTims fame making a * * of it yet again, with some more 'edgy' views. This time on racism, defending Maurice Ross.

A really weird guy, formerly of the DR. He may still do some work for them? I find their 'fan podcast' unbearable as a result.


Partial to the Cynic gang, they produce some really great stuff. Some pish as well, but definitely more of the former. Favourites being; 'The Agenda' and 'The Biscuit Tin'. Some really great features on past players and games as well. The sheer volume and quality of content is very impressive for independent fan media.

Used to listen to ACSOM. Think it's gone down hill in it's new daily format. Some of the 'guests' are really poor. What's seldom is wonderful and all that.

Harry Brady's pod gets the odd spin too. Again I struggle with some of his guests. Recent 'The Game' series has been good. The pod he done on Boavista away was superb.

Tried the 'Celtic Soul' podcast. It was OK. Again, giving a platform to some utter fuds (good evening Mr Low). Lost interest as a result but may give it another go.

That's my lot!

 

The cynic is #1. North curve is good but not enough content.

 

He wasn't defending Ross, or racism.

 

Cool. The guys an absolute throbber, this is just another incident to add to the list. As a result I really couldn’t be bothered spending any time debating this I’m afraid.

For the record, he was claiming what Ross said wasn’t racist. And ended up here:

 

"I think the issue, without hearing from the player involved you’re only assuming, lies in the fact that MR placed an African stereotype onto a Dutchman purely because he was black. Not many folk saying that though."

Quoted it just in case some folk can't see it. That isn't defending Ross, or racism. Also, the picture you've posted doesn't state that his comments weren't racist, he was questioning whether making a racist comment makes a person racist. It's not the same thing.

 

A really weird point of view, IMO. The black players at the club were offended by his remark. They were backed by the club captain. The club then took appropriate action. It isn’t ‘more nuanced’ than that

Probably for another thread

 

Aye Cynic weekly is the first one I go to, always good craic. A newer one I've started listening to is the Celtic Exchange, give it a go.

 

I agree with you here.

Anyway, I actually quite like the 20MT podcast.

 

Easily my favourite Celtic podcast. Good craic too.

 

4 Tims, Cynic and Twenty minute tims the ones I'll listen to every week on Spotify.
Acsom was good but it's far too PC and sold out ages ago imo. An episode a day is too much and as someone else said, the majority of guests are brutal.

 

Started listening to ACSOM around Christmas time & really enjoyed it. Thought PJD kept the conversation going & didn't stick to the same topic for too long. He then cut down the days he was the host & the other members starting hosting which was brutal.

Since gave up on it & may look elsewhere.

 

Aye some of them are brutal they either rabble * or literally don't have an opinion on anything I like Paul John Dykes, Tony Haggerty and Jim Orr they talk a lot of sense

 

Suppose its each to their own as I think Orr is the worst of the lot. I seen PJD on sky news & thought he was good so gave the podcast a shot.

One thing that annoyed me was the podcast was calling the Huns game the Glasgow derby on their banner & they were all taking the high ground over fans calling them Sevco rather than Rangers FFS

ACSOM is pretty hit and miss. They do too many shows.
