A podcast by three Indian football fans dissect the beautful game in a lighthearted manner?

Footie fever

Manchester United after a disappointing loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers

With the English Premier League in full flow and the world of football abuzz with activity, it is natural to gather information from everywhere. This writer came across the podcast, Football Shootball that offered some good chatter about the top teams, and their fight for the title. The show is hosted by three football fans; Gaurav Sapre, Sivaram Parameswaran and Karthik Iyer who are fully geared up to give you plenty of football news.


The show makes for a relaxed and easygoing listening experience and in no way claims to be a punditry like some of the shows that are available online. The hosts make a fun trio who chat and squabble about their teams; their love for the beautiful game resonates through the episodes. The podcast is a weekly affair, with 30 to 45 minutes run time, packed with conversations about EPL and English football. 


The sport has a great following in India and the viewership has only increased over the years; this podcast is for those followers who enjoy a relaxed banter over the teams they love and truly support. The fan frenzy and enthusiasm are an intrinsic part of the podcast, it almost feels like everyday conversations on football you’d have during your daily chai adda sessions with your favourite mates. They bicker, dissect and speculate the games for the week, debate on their own team fixtures and comment on their latest bets on Fantasy Premier League; all in good cheer of course and it makes for a chuckle on a drab day, or if you’re stuck in traffic.
