Do you remember the times in your school days when your favourite team won and you went on to discuss your best moments from that game? Or let’s reminisce on less memorable events when your side lost and all your friends trolled you to no end? To evoke those emotions we have Daksh with us this week - who’s in Class 11 - and going through the motions of being a school boy football fanatic. Many among us would confess those were the finest days! Listen on till the very end for some anecdotes that would take you back to your childhood!

Fantasy Premier League is a topic of discussion in almost all football groups. It’s pervasive. But what is it all about? If you want to know more about it, you need not go anywhere else. We have Tushar Bedi with us who helps us understand this FPL world better. Working in marketing and consultancy agencies has made him a shrewd man. You’ll also know he has it wits about him when he refers to a ‘Dynasty’ reference at the very end. And to drop a bomb, yes Anukarsh has left Salah out of his FPL plans. Such are the times!

This time around, we’ve got a Manchester United fan. Liverpool hasn’t got off to the best of starts and that has our main man Anukarsh not in the best of his spirits. Our special guest, Raghav, an MBBS intern speaks of his journey following football and his Man United fandom moments. He talks about how his years of pride and agony as a Manchester United shaped a lot of his views on football and how we feels that there's light at the end of the tunnel in the Erik Tan Hag era. The vivacious style in which he puts out some interesting trivia and anecdotes from SAF's biographies is an absolute treat.

In what is the first of a kind in our 21 episode long history, this week is a special one with Adidev - our guest speaker.

Working on different sports gives you a perspective, a bird’s eye view to bring in the changes required to make any sport better. Along with insights from our regular panelists in Anukarsh and Dwaipayan, we are thrilled to release this episode where we go in depth on the women’s football sphere - where do we think it’s lacking and also what can be done about it.

Most sporting love stories begin with a curiosity, a willingness to learn more about a sport that strikes a chord in heart when you watch it for the first time. This week we bring the story of Darshan Rana, who’s been a Liverpool fan for a good part of the last decade. He has a dedicated social media page for it and allows us a sneak peek into his hostel days where it had all began!

From not being able to name top footballers to her corporate coworkers to winning FPL battles against them, the story of Nirali Negi is told to us with some panache by the woman herself!

We talk about the FA Community Shield Final, how Ms Negi had her heart in her mouth in the final Match Day of the previous season and many of you would find it striking how she remembers the accurate stats of West Ham.

The football ain’t too far away from the brand new season. This week, we have someone with close to 1 Lakh subscribers to his YouTube channel, creating football engaging videos on his Instagram as well.

We discuss the pre season developments for some of the biggest clubs, including Zeeshan bhai’s favourite club - Barcelona.

In an era where all Man United fans are ridiculed, trolled and always being subject to major banters given their recent underwhelming performances, we’ve found a loyalist this week in Eesh Khera for Manchester United whose love affair with his favourite club saw him go through even physical injuries during his school days.

You’d be amazed when you know the story of him lining up as his school goalkeeper and maybe some of you will think - I too could have done the same!

Here’s to a brighter dawn under Ten Hag for the upcoming season - knowing Eesh bhai, you’d just want it to happen for him, if not for anything else.

This week we have Yaman Rekhi with us who is well renowned for his intelligent football humour videos on Instagram. But what we offer here is a deeper insight, not just scratching the surface of what it means to have a social media following - what inspired the idea and how football keeps him going. Wait till you get to know about his favourite club and how he started following Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time all those years ago! For more such footballing content, keep following the Indie Football Podcast on Spotify.

For this unique and first of it’s kind in our 15 episode journey so far at the Indie Football Podcast, we have Pranay with us. We’d initially spotted him as someone with a football page called “tacklefrombehind” that has a massive following but speaking to him about his love and passion for the game has revealed his added layers and has only increased the admiration we’ve had for him. We go through his favourite moments, his social media journey and he just might also make you feel unproductive for what you did during the lockdowns.
