Podcast 13 just went live today, and I just wanted to check who on the forum listens to it, and what the current opinions are on them?

I know we are gaining more and more listeners each week, and Craig and myself both get positive tweets and emails from people who now listen each week to the show.

But I wondered what forum members actually tune in - as we do now involve as many posts and opinions from the forum itself. If there are any particular topics that you think we could bring up on the podcast, please feel free to suggest them.

Anyway, this week we looked at standing at football with former Conservative candidate and Hearts fan Iain McGill, addressing a few posts from forum members on the topic, which has been discussed quite a lot in the past few months.

Didn't enjoy this weeks podcast that much. Too little talk about Scotland and far too much discussion about standing which I didn't find very interesting really.

You wanted MORE talk on Scotland? Sheesh you're a glutton for punishment! Haha. We are gonna address Scotland at the weekend so I guess we didn't want to focus on it too much. I suppose it depends what your interests are, personally I find the standing debate pretty topical and interesting - but you can't please everyone. I'm not that fussed about going on too much about Scotland, as you may have guessed, so that kinda bores me. You wanna come on this weekend Jay? I did say to Craig you would probably be best following the international week as you have more of an interest in Scotland.

You know what I'm like when it comes to Scotland though. Yeah I'd be up for being on podcast this weekend. I'm going to Aberdeen game on Saturday too.

I could maybe start my own brand of insomnia curing tapes? Not that anyone listens to tapes anymore, but you get my drift...

The woman I sit next to at work has no interest in football, but she did say it was good to listen to to help her fall asleep. She was being genuine.

i do listen...but i have to say that points can be over-elaborated on at times and while it must be difficult maybe some more humour can be injected.....and although forum topics are discussed it's not always the forum views that are mentioned......it's a hard task.

Basically you're trying to say that Laurie speaks too much, aren't you? 

But I'm also the one who reads out most of the forum posts, so it's a conundrum...

Some weeks I agree that maybe we over-elaborate on things - for instance the latest one could certainly have been shorter. But generally, when there has been 6 SPL matches played, and 6 more to look ahead to, as well as maybe adding an additional topic from the forum, it can be difficult to keep things short without just breezing through and not having a proper discussion.

Two Hearts fans and a Rangers fan, sure you can cope with that Danny...
