Football Podcasts are getting more attention lately. More football fans today would rather listen to podcasts than Radio. In fact, some prefer listening to football podcasts to reading articles. Why? Because podcasts can be minimized while doing other activities but reading doesn’t work that way. In this post, you’ll find a unique list of the best football podcasts from around the world.
The list is unique (just like every other article on Soofootball) because it is not based on some random google search. We generated the list from an opinion poll where real fans recommended podcasts based on their own experience, not hearsay.
