Series 2 of Slower Travel is here! First up is the @harrogatebus #36 from Leeds to Ripon, in which I get all giddy about a car park, we meet the world's laziest MP, and a couple of posh old ladies broadcast their holiday plans. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

There has to be flexibility for the FA to be pragmatic within the agreed NLS Regulations. That's why we've seen a 24-team North West Counties League Premier Division at Step 5 for the past three seasons, for example. In short, it's a really difficult task. (10/10)

Also, £30pm for a one camera broadcast w/ comms from the clubs' own radio feeds. We absolutely won't be taking part on @26nillive at Hyde United. TV and radio commentaries are two different beasts, too. It's an amateurish product with a premium price tag.

🧵 Thread on the #EmiratesFACup There are loads of questions asked at this time of year about the FA Cup, so I figured I'd put the answers all in one place. Have I missed any? Let me know. (1/16)

26th Dec 2020 ➡️ 19th April 2025 🤯 Want a job in sports media? Then stop solo-vlogging and bedroom-streaming and start non-league volunteering! Most clubs will be delighted for the help and ideas and you get real-life experience!! 1/2 #nonleague #buryfc

Easily the best interview I've ever read about pesto. New Mclusky stuff sounding bob-on, too.
