Slow international break...

Started getting into podcasts over the last month or two, anyone got any they would recommend?

Joe Rogan seems to be everyone’s go to, has some great guests but obviously their all pretty long

Off menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, latest one was with Mike Skinner

Haven’t got round to any of Brian Cox’ Infinite Monkey Cage

Athletico Mince I thought was alright, bit overrated though

I love athletico mince, but I am a big fan of Bob Mortimer. Infinite monkey cage is definitely worth listening, just nice to listen to intelligent people.

Totally football show is the best football one. I think James Richardson is the best presenter around. Crouch's one was really good too.

No such thing as a fish is pretty consistent. Dad wrote a por*o very funny.

Test match special if you're into cricket and Bloomberg surveillance if you're interested in financial markets.

Not sure what I would do without podcasts, must listen to them 2 and a half hours a day on the commute.

Listened to a couple of the Peter Crouch one was decent. Someone mentioned Dad wrote a poro too...

The Ricky Gervais Show still makes me cry with laughter.

Big fan of the transfer window. Duncan Castles is one of the few people who offers genuine insight into the dealings of football.

Guardian football weekly always good too.

Of you just like football podcasts, I don't think you can look far past Totally Football Weekly or the Guardian. The bitter break up between the two has just led to twice as much content. Jimbo is in a league of his own in terms of making a brilliant pun and making you laugh out loud, whilst walking to work, and making you look mental as a result.

As for a slow international break, I'm a Northern Ireland supporter and was really happy with our result and performance tonight. I get as bored as anyone with the constant break up of the club season, seemingly once a month. But as a supporter of a not so good international team, it's always worth looking forward to and worth it if we get any kind of result.

It's an entirely different situation to what England go through, as they'll always qualify and have an embarrassment of riches. But in terms of the break, it's about giving other teams a chance to shy.

For all that, I really look forward to seeing England in the Euros, as they are a really exciting team now.

As a Norn Iron fan, we'll have to go through a play off (fair enough) but the semi and final will be in different countries and we'll have to book tickets to both the semi and final, three days apart in separate countries. And that's a disgrace.

At the very least, all play offs (given they're three days apart) should be held in the same country?! Basically you have to book flights for both matches and realise you might not be in the play off final (before the actual tournament), whilst still booking flights for it. It's a lot of money.

Sorry for ranting but it just shows a total disregard to actual football fans, and any foresight, with any consideration for fans wouldn't have allowed it

I watched the Montenegro game till half time, then gave up. Probably do the same with the Kosovo one. My son recommended a series called 'Barry' to me - no idea where it's on as he gave me the download. But it's pretty funny if you like dark humour. Probs watch the last 2 episodes tonight after I've given up on the footy.
