  • 15. Ep 4.15 - The Rigore per la Juve Episode

    26:31||Season 4, Ep. 15
    Atalanta stay top, Fiorentina's winning run ends, and Venezia nearly pull off a historic result in Turin - only for Juve to get their usual 95th minute penalty...NOTE - Initially we uploaded a version in which Giancarlo's audio was too low (some may say this was a good thing!) but we have uploaded a new version - if you can read this, you should have the new and improved version!
  • Ep. 4.14 - The Stormy Weather Episode

    26:36|
    It's the season of the "smaller" teams as Atalanta go top, and Fiorentina and Lazio dare to dream. But down at the bottom end, Venezia and Como play out a farcical draw in stormy weather - a result that probably keeps Di Francesco his job, but doesn't really help.
  • 13. Ep. 4.13 - The One Where Marco Wishes He Was Still Sick

    29:00||Season 4, Ep. 13
    We're back after an illness-enforced absence, but things have only gotten worse for Venezia... How is Di Francesco still in a job? Elsewhere, there were frightening scenes in Florence when Edoardo Bove collapsed, but fortunately he seems to be doing a little better, while on the pitch, Napoli extended their lead at the top, while most teams at the bottom got some vital points.
  • International Break special with Gabriele Marcotti

    41:34||Season 4
    A special extra-long episode to tide you over during the international break as we speak with renowned Italian football pundit and journalist, Gabriele Marcotti. We chat to Gab about the state of Serie A, TV rights, Ranieri to Roma and whether Spalletti has Italy on the right track.
  • 12. Ep. 4.12 - Is this the most exciting Serie A start in recent memory?

    27:19||Season 4, Ep. 12
    Two points separate the top six teams (and four points separate the bottom 8) - is this the most exciting start ever? Well, not if you're a Venezia fan as they gift more ridiculous goals to their opponents. But there is more to celebrate for Giancarlo as Fiorentina continue to fly high.
  • 11. Ep. 4.11 - The We Wuz Robbed Episode

    28:46||Season 4, Ep. 11
    What is more predictable in Italian football than a small team getting a goal chopped off v a big team in the last minute... we recorded this in the moments after Venezia's equaliser was cruelly ruled out against Inter. Elsewhere, Atalanta thump Napoli in Naples, and Fiorentina's hot streak continues. Is the title race as open as it seems?
