EPL Talk: Phil Cornwell

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:16:00 GMT

Last week, I posted a tweet that if I was reborn, I would become a Tottenham Hotspur supporter simply because of The Spurs Show podcast. And I meant it. Most of the readers here know me as a Swansea City supporter, but there's something completely endearing, refreshing, honest and depressing about being a regular listener to The Spurs Show that makes me feel closer to the pain one must feel supporting THFC.

I don't typically recommend club podcasts. They tend to be too biased, boring and lacking any real content. But The Spurs Show is different. It pulls you in right from the get-go with host Phil Cornwell's brilliant delivery of his Harry Redknapp impression, which is just as good as his Martin Jol one.

Cornwell, you see, is an English thespian, who has appeared on many British television shows over the years as well as being a stand-up comedian. It's his mix of comedy and deep passion for Tottenham Hotspur that is so refreshing, while co-host Mike Leigh (also a well-known person on the British comedy circuit) is the perfect balance to Cornwell, keeping him in line but carrying the conversation forward with their obvious love and knowledge of the game and, more importantly, their club.

So, it's with great pleasure that we bring you an interview with Phil Cornwell on the latest episode of the EPL Talk Podcast. The interview is special for many different reasons, but it also marks the debut of Stephen Darwin, one of three hosts of the EPL Talk Podcast (including me and Kartik Krishnaiyer). Stephen, Kartik and I will continue bringing you interviews with some of the biggest names in English football.

Enjoy the podcast episode. And if you haven't had a chance to listen to The Spurs Show yet, it's required listening whether you're a Tottenham supporter or not. It's one of the highlights each week on my iPod, and is always laugh-out loud funny. Check out The Spurs Show on iTunes.

EPL Talk: Peter Lupson (Across The Park)

Fri, 9 Oct 2009 02:11:00 GMT

It isn't often that I interview personalities for the EPL Talk Podcast. In the past six months, I've interviewed two people. The first was Barney Ronay, the scholarly and humorous writer for The Guardian and author of a new book entitled The Manager. And the second is Peter Lupson, today's guest on the EPL Talk Podcast. Trust me, I'd love to interview more guests but due to having four children and a wife, it's difficult to find quiet time, let alone any time. But for Ronay and Lupson I went out of my way to interview these two important figures from the world of English football. Both of them for very different reasons. Peter Lupson's newest book is entitled Across The Park. But before you get turned off by hearing that it's a history of the formation and relationship between Everton and Liverpool football clubs, please realize that the book is much more than that. It is about the spirit and soul of football, which unfortunately has almost disappeared from the game. If you care about football and the human spirit, the interview with Lupson is a must-listen. It's not often that I say that, but Lupson is a wonderful storyteller, a charming person and one of the most inspiring football historians I've come across. His previous book Thank God For Football was a critical success. His latest one is a perfect one to add to your holiday wish-list. In the interview, Lupson updates listeners on the latest developments after Thank God For Football, as well as his appearances as a guest speaker for the Everton Collection, the greatest-ever collection of football memorabilia. I implore you to listen to the interview. Keep an open mind and prepare to be enthralled.
