GENERAL INTERVIEW
That Millwall Podcast: A Millwall FC podcast on talkSPORT Fan Network
Last month we introduced the talkSPORT Fan Network – EFL Championship edition. Today, we’re learning more from one of the podcasts in the network. That Millwall Podcast is the ultimate hub for all things Millwall – if you’re a true-blue Lion, you’ve found your new favourite show.
We spoke to host Micky Simpson to find out more about the podcast, and being part of the talkSPORT Fan Network…
Why did you decide to start That Millwall Podcast?
During lock down myself and Omer missed the chats before and after football down the pub or on the way to games etc. So we thought let’s try and make it happen by starting a Live Friday night stream talking about Millwall and getting live comments from other like minded fans. This then grew into what we have today with a large listener base, more live streams and social content and pre-recorded shows and it just keeps growing, with more Millwall fans finding us.
Why did you join the talkSPORT Fan Network?
We were the first to sign up and knew it would be a great place to help us reach a much wider audience with tips and advice they could give us regarding marketing and promoting our show. They are the biggest sports radio company in the world and when they need a Millwall Fan’s opinion, hopefully it’s our phone they call. It’s still early doors, but we are looking forward to the things they have planned, which are really exciting and will help our show grow – but I don’t think we are allowed to mention those just yet!
What has been the best thing about being part of the Fan Network so far?
Meeting other like-minded creators and finding out the ideas that work to help make our listeners and viewers experience even better.
There are some really cracking shows and teams within the Fan Network across the Championship and hopefully a few of us will sample the promised land of becoming a Premier League Podcast one day, ha-ha. Expanding our knowledge and being able to get other club shows on to discuss upcoming games.
You recently hosted your first “That Championship Show” with a panel made up of some of the best Championship podcasters – what do you enjoy most about collaborating with other podcasters?
We got to host the very first one and it’s something we are looking to carry on. It was great to be able to ask a panel of championship, likeminded shows questions regarding all our clubs rather than only being Millwall based questions. Plus it was great to have a wider live audience and the audience members that came on to talk too. Also, we hope it gets us in front of more people and you never know one day in the future it could become a proper show maybe on talksport 2 or even the Talksport app.
Aside from your own podcast, what’s your favourite football podcast to listen to?
Love a listen to The Price of Football and Not The Top 20 plus all the other shows on the talkSPORT fan network too.
