I mean, you don’t have to listen…

As an outsider I would not be that harsh , I gave one a listen but it was not for me as I have become a regular of the one the lads on here do , and always enjoyed the interviews which are good as a neutral covering various old school players etc and of course the Swann ones ; i hope they will be back soon .
With the other one you have to give the guys a chance though , they are probably new to it and are doing it in their own time so fair play to them and I am sure many of your fans will enjoy it .

I absolutely prefer iron bru but if we are truthful the pods haven’t been regular!! Which is annoying!!!!
I like the fact the new pod is filmed, just my opinion.
I don’t like their laddish approach, ‘doing bits’ etc etc… these men are not in their 20’s but they seem to be trying desperately to be ‘on trend’.
They seem to know very little about football… the pod when we went down they constantly referred to NLN teams as builders and brick layers etc…
As if none of the lads at that level are any good… what an absolute disgrace!!
Plenty of players at the level are better than what we’ve had for years and years!
Like I said I prefer Bru but the Bru podcast is available every now and again so I’m losing interest in them all.3 users thanked author for this post.
Good on them for giving it a go, more iron content the better. Not particularly a fan of the non-Iron talk but each to their own and them seem to have plenty tuning in.
Do miss the regular instalments of Iron Bru though.

I’ve seen one of their podcasts and it’s all very tongue in cheek with a large dose of lad banter, each to their own. I can’t see the older iron fans taking to it that well to be fair for a certain demographic it will be enjoyed.
I found a lot of what they said was nothingness and actually very little about actual football. Completely different approach to the bru version. As lincsirons said above it’s a more relaxed approach and as is very much like 4 blokes being down at the pub.
They both have their place.
Only one I really watch is Jon Parkin’s under the cosh podcast. Some of The stories on there are absolute belters. Non iron related but is certainly interesting to say the least.

I haven’t really heard much of the Iron Hour. I gave the one with Hilton a spin and have since skipped through a couple of the others, but wouldn’t class myself as a regular listener. Whilst they are definitely approaching it differently, they are giving it a good go and the production value has increased massively since the first episode. We too had teething issues when we started out, so it was good to see they managed to overcome those pretty quickly.
It seems to have been fairly well received and they deserve a lot of credit for sticking their heads above the parapet. You are certainly there to be shot at, as I well know. We tried our best with Swann, but ultimately that was never enough for many which is why we decided not to approach DH for an interview. I am sure, having seen some of the questions that were sent in for their interview with DH, that they may now appreciate how difficult a job we had.
It has been a real struggle to find the motivation to record a weekly IB podcast with the club in such turmoil. That said, listener numbers are still very good and have not been affected by the Iron Hour, so we are definitely going to continue until the day that changes.
We are recording a new episode this week and will then do a number of summer specials including the KVV episode which is on the way.
I’ve also been in touch with somebody else today to confirm another episode that we are doing next week. We will probably keep that one under wraps until we have recorded it and it will be shorter than usual, but the guest should prove excellent value!

The Iron Hour is 15 minutes Iron & 45 minutes of padding, which isn’t a great ratio. And the laddish “bantz” is pretty tedious too. The last one I heard ended with 10 minutes of laughing about something that wasn’t even that funny. Glad they’re having fun, and I think they’ve got a couple of people on there who could be a lot better, but it’s not for me at the moment.
