Hornet Heaven

To mark the Hornet Heaven podcast’s tenth birthday this summer, we’re re-issuing one episode from each of the ten seasons since we began in 2016. The idea is to re-immerse listeners in how it has felt to be a Watford fan during the club’s recent ups and downs. If you’re feeling distant from the club at the moment, as many people are, some of these episodes will, hopefully, remind you how it feels to love Watford Football Club.
