If you fancy giving either one of the podcasts a go for a month or so to see if they’re up your street, you’d be making a genuinely massive difference to me in keeping this all going as a living.

Unfortunately, with the growth of bots and automated messages on here, my standard form of outreach regarding the podcasts I record each day no longer seems to work, which has got me seriously concerned about the longevity of doing this as a full-time job.
I think people now receive DM’s from me about the podcast and automatically assume it’s a bot rather than a real person which is incredibly frustrating.
I record two separate podcasts each weekday morning, one on Palace and one on football generally in both the UK and across Europe; they’re both delivered directly to your inbox by 8:30am Monday-Friday and are always 25 minutes or less so you’re totally up to date with everything that’s going on first thing in the day.
I keep it at just £2.50 a month because I want it to be affordable for everyone but I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t worried about my chances of keeping it going much longer given the change in DM responses. Not really sure what to do but just thought I’d make people aware.
Bit of a random moment to make this point but I honestly feel like Mark Chapman is one of the best sports broadcasters around.
Worked his way up through multiple different shows across various sports, is hugely knowledgeable without being arrogant. He’s everywhere and yet, I’m not in the slightest bit fatigued by his presence in the media, which says a great deal as far as I’m concerned. The bloke is a bit of a national treasure.

The best indicator of just how open Palace have been at the back this season can be shown in the following statistics:
We rank 1st in the Premier League as a whole for Tackles & Clearances per match (20.7 and 30.7) whilst also being bottom of the PL for xG against with 14.8.
This podcast has been a long time coming. I don't ever want to be knee-jerk, I'm all for allowing people to prove themselves but nothing I've seen from the bloke leaves me feeling he's good for Crystal Palace FC.

If this is legit, we need a fan-wide movement against Hobbs’ continued presence at the club.
Hobbs is desperate to bring Rob Edwards in if we get rid of Sage.
That would be diabolical and we might as well accept relegation now if that were to happen.
Hobbs is a massive problem. Parish to blame too.

I do and always will.
The tweet you're referring to is sent after a win and has been for years. A defeat doesn't change my love for the club, it also doesn't mean I'll pretend everything's great when it isn't.
I was out in Lyon on Thursday & I'll be in Istanbul next week too.

Really?
I thought it “you love your ******* club”
Through thick and thin mate.
I’m a Blues fan and told my kids it’s through thin and thinner.
We lost 5-1 at Villa Park under Alwx McLeish and he was in charge when we won the Carling Cup. It happens.
EMERGENCY POD: An Absolute Shambles From Palace At Brighton

An AI generated image preaching about nostalgia followed by a push towards a gambling ad. 😶
No £80 replica shirts. No phones filming every second. No marketing telling you how special it all was. Nobody flying in from Singapore after paying £700 for a ticket.
Just lads getting there hours early and queuing forever at the turnstiles. Cold hands, muddy terraces, and all that mattered was bagging your spot on the wall. Football when it was simple. 👏🏻👏🏻
