Brilliant New Burnley Podcast

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Fri Aug 04, 2023 8:20 am

New episode is out now!

We've got an extended chat with George Boyd who talks about that goal against City, how he still gets texts from Sean Dyche and plenty about both his time at Turf Moor and how he thinks we'll get on in the Premier League this season.

Plus we've got transfer latest, the verdict on the third kit, the latest Mission to Burnley trailer and we unpick the #FreeTella stuff as well.

Hope you enjoy - feedback, as ever, is always welcome!

All the contributors to the From the Bee Hole End podcast are either journos or work in the media. Simon Evans worked for Reuters for years, Boden is ex Burnley Express, Justin Connolly works for MEN, Andrew Greaves is Head of Journalism at Bauer Media. Not sure about Paul Woodhouse.

Justin Connolly is also ex Burnley Express and I discovered last week that he was the first journalist at the Express to interview new director Barry Kilby back in 1998.

Imagine the surprise of the Vindheim story in those pre-social media days.

Imagine the surprise of the Vindheim story in those pre-social media days.

It's brilliant looking back at the old newspapers too.

I've just given up writing articles now for the site about potential signings and speculation because there are just too many of them. I reckon it's best left to the message board and the speculation threads and I stick something up if they sign. Back then, players such as Vindheim just turned up and played for the reserves as a trialist without anyone knowing anything about it. No Nixon, Sacha etc. back then.

I remember standing on Rune Vindheim's foot in the dressing room on my 11th Birthday (we went on to lose 0-2 at home to Northampton Town). I said "Sorry" and one of the other players (I want to say it was Gordon Armstrong) shouted over "You may as well break his foot he can't get any worse".

Just listened to the Boyd interview whilst sitting by the pool in the Costa del Sol. Will try and listen to the rest later.

Really enjoying the podcast. Keep
Up the good work

Another enjoyable episode. There’s something endearing about five Eyore’s sat chatting.

Read that as eyesore's originally..... which I thought was a bit harsh.

It’s a very good pod, on my weekly schedule now. They have a good mix. I used to knock about with Justin way back assuming it’s the same lad who used to live off Reedley road.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Aug 04, 2023 3:47 pm

There was absolutely a gap for Burnley fans of a more established media persuasion to come together and create something like this. Couple of decent Røde mics would take it to the next level (not a diss!)

Yes it is. I was at school with his older brother Jonathan and their Dad was deputy head at Walton. A great teacher and a fantastic bloke.

New episode out now!

We've got an interview with Mike Phelan about what it takes to play at the very top level plus Andy Jones from The Athletic is with us this week to discuss the latest transfer news, Mission to Burnley, Manchester City and loads more.

I think people who are interested in the details of how teams prepare in the Premier League and the process of building a team and a 'culture' will really enjoy what Mick Phelan had to say - a bloke who as a coach has won pretty much everything and is a Claret to boot.

quoonbeatz · Post by **quoonbeatz** » Fri Aug 11, 2023 3:27 pm

Might actually listen to this one, not got round to any yet...

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Mon Aug 14, 2023 7:40 am

The first episode of our new, weekly analysis podcast is out now.

Shorter than the usual Friday episodes, we’re aiming to pick the bones out of the performance each week.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Really enjoyed the interview with Micky Phelan. Clearly still a Claret as well as a very experienced coach. And also enjoyed today's post mortem of the City game.

Cheers for the feedback. Happy to hear suggestions for improving the audio side but unlike some podcasts that are recording with professional studio equipment with production staff, we are doing this in our spare time, from home on laptops, with some of the guys using microphones, others using headsets etc.

Is there some software you would suggest for making it sound better on that basis?

helmclaret · Post by **helmclaret** » Tue Aug 15, 2023 9:13 am

Two more good podcasts.

I thought the Trafford selection may have been discussed though?

Enjoying the listen.

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Tue Aug 15, 2023 9:15 am

Yeah Helm, that was completely my fault. I had it down on my running order but I'd told the chaps that the Monday edition should be a strict 30 mins... and we hit 45 mins.

We'll pick up some of the topics from Monday's podcast in our weekly Friday edition.

lewishamclaret · Post by **lewishamclaret** » Tue Aug 15, 2023 10:23 am

It's great that you guys are putting this together in your spare time. It's quite a commitment, including chasing up guests to come on the show. I've been enjoying it from by the pool on my hols! As a matter of interest how many people do you think are typically downloading and listening to each episode?

Yeah its tough doing this stuff “On a shoestring” budget, and its greatly appreciated. The old adage “content is king”is so true, and your guys have great content so keep it up!
Any simple compression software will help get the audio levels better balanced. Garage Band will certainly do the job for example, and it’s free (If you are on Apple Systems). My wife listens to your podcast with me, and as soon as your intro music starts playing she leaps for the volume button to turn it down, and then turns it up again when you start speak, and then turns it down again…etc..etc

Audio compression will solve all of that for you. Reach out if you need some help.

helmclaret · Post by **helmclaret** » Tue Aug 15, 2023 3:29 pm

I use Garage Band but for mixing music and individual tracks/stems. Not sure how it would work balancing everyone through one track?

Probably worth chatting to PJMOZ.

that's why compression and EQ are needed. I'd also grab a free copy of GOYO which cleans up background noise, Michael explains it well (and also how not to use it) in this video (the link to the product is also there)

ArmchairDetective · Post by **ArmchairDetective** » Tue Aug 15, 2023 3:52 pm

I've listened to all episodes so far. Great stuff. I don't always agree with the opinions shared on there but that's not a bad thing at all - keeps me in the loop with what others might be thinking and makes me question where I stand with things. Really enjoyed the insightful transfer episodes and features, e.g. the episode with Sacha Tavolieri.

I'm sure there are potential improvements that could be made in the sound quality, as other posters with greater knowledge than me have suggested. But to be honest I haven't found this a major issue when listening as the content is great. It just gives off a vibe that you're a few guys getting together to talk about football as you would if you met up down the pub.

Keep em coming.

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Tue Aug 15, 2023 3:57 pm

Thanks for all the feedback - I think there's definitely some tweaks I can make to the audio (which I'll do for this Friday's episode - no pressure!

)

I think ArmchairDetective you've probably hit upon our aim/mission statement - we want to be reflective of those pub conversations but hopefully with the ability to bring a little bit of extra insight/analysis/added value given our experience and (mostly) previous roles.

We're always trying to find interesting guests/angles and we'll continue to throw a few nice surprises in across the season with a bit of luck.

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Fri Aug 18, 2023 10:06 am

New episode is out now and it's a women's football special!

Bodes and Simon spoke to Rachel Brown Finnis in Australia about the Lionesses brilliant Women's World Cup campaign and her own career and then Simon sat down with Lola Ogunbote (BFC's head of women's football) to discuss the plans the club have for the women's team... including a potential new home at Gawthorpe!

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Fri Aug 25, 2023 9:22 am

New episode out now - transfer latest, Villa preview and ALK's plans for Kortrijk. It's a bit of a collector's edition because Simon (aka Forzagranata) is actually quite positive about ALK's plans! (Normal service is sure to resume next week!

)

Before i moved back t'up north, i used to produce the live broadcasting and post match interviews for National League South's Bath City. We used to use Audacity for getting the audio EQ more balance. Also found AudioDirector, Wavepad and Sound Forge were great tools too.

I believe they all have free versions too.

I enjoy listening to the podcast, just one small criticism. Could you, you know, maybe try and use, you know, a repeated phrase, you know, a little less. If I knew then I wouldn't need to listen.

Apart from that keep up the good work.

Agreed. I counted 15 or so "you knows" in about 3/4 a minute of talking. It starts to get annoying. The English language has a few more gap fillers.

Listened to the Villa review on way to work this morning, good listen, very balanced view of the game and areas of improvement are clear.

Not sure where there is a young striker from the premier league that we could loan though

It would be a bit of a risk, and makes the assumption we won’t get Maatsen, but Armando Broja would fit the bill.

Enjoyed it in the main and fair play for taking the time to do it. The main guy (Andrew?) gives good, fair opinions I thought. Intrigued by Simon Evans describing Kompany as "arrogant" for his tactical set up, which I didn't really understand. It's the last thing I'd tag Kompany as. Is the implication there that he expected to walk these games? Surely he's just trying to find the right tactical blend?

I think it’s fair to suggest there is a touch of arrogance or stubbornness in relating to the tactical set up, yes the opposition have been at a top level but we had to change it after Villa after being so open against them, how many teams get anywhere now in world football playing with a midfield 2?
