webmeister posted:I've been picking and choosing between Ramble and FW eps since the football came back and I think that's kind of been the best way to do it. Even though there's games basically every day, trying to keep up with multiple hours of content every day is just way too much. Yeah, that's probably a good way to approach it now. Miss those Jim/Pete/Marcus/Luke days where it was less serious and more ladish.

He's posted a couple of videos recently, so hopefully he's ok. I'd be surprised if they just let it go for no reason. big crush on Chad OMG posted:Didn’t one of them have a meltdown online? Andy did, but like anything like this, it blew over in a couple of days. Top Flight Time Machine is still going, so it would be really strange if Mince was affected.

I liked Ramble before it went daily. The format worked because it was 4 mates talking bollocks about football with some jokes. Now it feels spread far too thin and the chemistry that made it work originally isn't there with all the mixed up guests. This for me puts it on direct footing with other football journalism, for which there's a huge drop off once you get past Andy Brassel on Ramble compared to FW, Football Writers Pod (BT, check it out if you haven't already) and The Game podcast.

I agree. I haven’t listened in awhile because it was too frequent and I couldn’t listen to every podcast and I would miss context for later shows.

For the record, the Offensive is brilliant. Very funny and acted greatly. Would recommend to anyone. Stopped listening to all football podcasts as there’s too many, but also working at home means no time to listen to them. The Saturday Blizzard crossover about greatest games is really good though.

I assume the Ramble will go back to the more defined daily shows once we're out of this post-restart All Football, All the Time phase? Although where Vish and Kate fit in I don't know.

It's not Ramble though, it's now just become a brand, RIP Even the usual pods with the four just feel like the hearts aren't in it and they're just happy for the money. Which is fine well done lads but it's got me tuning out OP

Not being in the studio together probably didn't help. Ramble still has a slight edge over FW for me given the roulette over which revolving guests will fill the not-Max-or-Barry slots.

There was that Christmas pod a couple of years ago where they all got progressively drunker which was fantastic, but I don’t think they’ve ever quite recaptured that same magic. Certainly drinking and podding via Zoom isn’t even remotely the same

I've really enjoyed the new ramble format. It was a bit awkward to start with but I reckon they are starting to click. Lampard = Tim Sherwood with a levels is an amusing take.

Jippa posted:The latest one with luke, marcus and vish. That’s narrowed it down to a couple of hundred. I think I agree with the above consensus. I love the Ramble, been listening for ten years, seen them live, I even met Pete Donaldson randomly in a pub and he was really, really nice. I guess my issue is that there’s no time to listen to three football podcasts before they become obsolete with the next fixtures. It’s a bit like the World Cup dailies, the previews took up a good portion of the show and there’s no point when you know the result of the match they’re discussing. I’ll of course give them a chance next season and try to make time to listen to them in the new working from home normal as opposed to commuting every day, but I fear the magic is gone. Luckily I still get my dose of Pete in Wrestle Me and he’s a different character in that.

I’ve had the flat to myself so I listened to the two latest rambles - the one with the two new guys and Jim, and one with Pete, Luke and Marcus. The thing is, it’s fine. It’s ok. They cover the talk points and discuss them at a decent length. My issue is that it’s just not the Ramble I remember. The past is a foreign country, I know, but I can’t help shake the feeling that the rebranding and the daily shows have changed how the lads operate. The quote laddish tone that was not in your face but nicely apparent seems to have been diluted. They appear to now just be another football podcast, when they had a certain toughness to their shows previously. It’s a shame, IMHO, after over ten years of listening to find it so mundane now. It definitely seems less about the spontaneous humour and entertainment than about pretending to know stuff about football. It’s free, so there’s no point complaining. They’ve earned the position they’re in. Maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy

On one hand I sort of agree but times have changed. The lads and the audience are 10 years older. If you scroll back through the thread lots of people were finding it a bit stale. I personally was a huge fan that found myself turning to football weekly and even the tfs before getting round if at all to the ramble. I also think that they doubled their output just before covid. From reading what has been said they are just trying out different combinations of people. I'm certain they haven't just shelved the original line up. They just realised they were sliding behind and are trying to mix it up a bit.

Agree it was a bit stale, but as britishbornandbread said, it's just another football podcast now. I guess we'll see when the new season starts if they keep up this format or change it back to how it was. They haven't opened the season predictions yet, have they? I assume it'll be after the Champions League. Hopefully they get the original 4 back for that episode.

Jippa posted:The latest ep was luke, marcus and pete. Good fun. Yeah, I listened to that one yesterday and it was closer to the regular old episodes. Like others have said, they've had to do this to cover the unusual scheduling of the season and I totally understand it but if it's going to keep going like this then I can't see myself listening too much when the new season starts, especially as I probably won't have any sort of commute until 2021. They've stopped pushing the Patreon by the sounds of things too, I haven't heard it mentioned in a while. I thought the original offerings were a bit poo poo, to be honest and haven't improved when it was relaunched. For me, they really overestimated how much people want to be their mates or something. I understand it's about supporting the show, but access to a discord, a video every couple of weeks and behind the scenes stuff doesn't seem worth it. I thought the same about when they were doing that Whatsapp stuff last season. I don't want this to come across as "the free thing I like isn't exactly the way I want it" even though it probably does.

Mickolution sums up exactly how I feel about it and I’m glad they’ve agreed with me. For the longest time FW (and then TFS) was the more serious(ish) shows that covered the topics with a bit more depth and the Ramble was more light, laddy and funny. It’s still amusing, but I genuinely think FW tickles me more (Max’s self-deprecation, Wilson’s deadpan delivery etc). I posted this earlier, but it’s ultimately become another football podcast, when it was not before. I’m curious to see what they do next season.
