I thought it might be useful for people to share what football media they consume that they might suggest to others. I figure given we all probably have different podcasts or videos we watch, there may be some interesting things to share.
Personally, I tend to focus on European or Italian football centric content as obviously that's my generally where my interest lies.
The first is the Euro Leagues Podcast from BBC Five Live, hosted by Mina Rzouki with guests normally being James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Rafa Honigstein. It's very much focused on European Leagues and with Mina and James both Italian football experts, Serie A gets a fair chunk of discussion:

Next up is World Football Phone In. One of the best radio shows/podcasts available regarding football. It airs on BBC Five Live and is hosted by Dotun Adebayo and always has Tim Vickery (BBC's South American football expert) along with a second guest to talk about North American, European, Asian or African football. I've been listening for around 10 years and it's a great show:

Next up is The Totally Football Show, with James Richardson hosting. Basically, it's the same people that did Guardian's Football Weekly and they've basically set up their own show. I tend to dip in and out of this one as it's very Premier League centric, but thankfully they provide timestamps with their show so you can skip to the bits of interest:

Continuing with James Richardson is Golazzo, a podcast dedicated to Italian football and generally has James Horncastle as the guest (along with someone else). This is a shorter offshoot of The Totally Football show where James Richardson harkens back to the days when he was hosting Football Italia in the UK. A great show and thanks to Mystik who brought it to my attention:

Last is Italian Football TV on Youtube. This is pretty much the only dedicated channel discussing Italian football on Youtube that I'm particularly aware of. It's a couple of young guys who are basically fans just giving their opinions, so it's just something that can be a bit of fun rather than hugely informative or in depth. Recently they've started doing a more podcast format where they've brought in a family friend and the father of one of the guys to have more in depth discussions. Just be aware these guys are fans and so behave like fans, which can be annoying as one is a Juve fan (who somehow tried to argue Cutrone's handball vs Lazio was worse than Buffon on Muntari's ghost goal). If you watch it for what it is, it can be a little bit of fun rather than the others which are more professional and serious discussions:

Anyone got any suggestions on others worth watching or listening to?
