Loathed Strangers: Swindon Town Podcast
Sam Morshead
Ep. 12
•
Welcome to Episode TWELVE of the Loathed Strangers Podcast. Still just about delivering that one instalment per week. Phew!
For this episode I was joined by award winning journalist and Town fan, Sam Morshead, who like each and every guest of the podcast to date was an absolute delight to talk to.
But Wow!
Sam talks of his time covering Swindon Town for the Advertiser and Total with the sort of passion and enthusiasm that you'd come to expect from somebody who has followed the club since he was knee high to grasshopper (or about 8 years old, whatever).
The Andrew Black Era
The Jed McCrory Era
The Lee Power Era
We got through loads but probably missed a fair whack out too. Hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did whilst recording. Enthralling insight to a batshit crazy era.
WARNING: Swearing included. Except the C-Bomb. I censored the C-Bomb. Eek.
Football is great, isn't it!?
All of the #LSPod guests volunteer their own time to discuss football with me and I’m very much grateful for it.
Thanks, as always, for listening and I really hope you enjoy!
