Now in its 16th season, the Sound of Football is one of the longest-running, independent football podcasts.

Looking beyond transfer rumours, Ballon D'Or speculation and post-match analysis, since 2009 we've tried to make sense of the circus that is modern football. From non-league to the Champions League, from VAR to club co-efficients, from the influence of TV on the game to the so-called "legacy fan" experience - we pretty much discuss anything to do with the beautiful game; even when it's not at its most beautiful. Especially when it's not at its most beautiful. Add to that our famous fake draws, our annual advent calendar Christmas specials and some great guests.

In addition to the podcast, we also have a weekly newsletter, the Weekend Boxset. Every week we preview seven games from all over the world for you to binge watch across the weekend. It's another FREE service, just register your email and you'll get it in your inbox every Friday.

Our entire archive available for you to listen to on this website but if you want to be up to date with our latest podcasts you'll be better off subscribing through the various platforms we're on. Alternatively, you could just ask your smart speaker to "Play the Sound of Football podcast".

Since the start of the 2016/17 season, host and producer Graham has been creating cover art for each podcast. There are now more than 300 pieces of original cover art in our gallery.

These are the regular voices you'll hear on the podcast:

Jan Bilton

Joining the podcast in 2012, Jan is a Sunderland fan and has been a contributor to their fanzine A Love Supreme. Never shy of a forthright opinion, Jan's outlook on the game may have been shaped by a boyhood encounter with his then hero Marco Gabbiadini...

Our non-football podcasts

Believe it or not Graham and Terry do talk about other things...

The Oddjob Pod

Hosted by Gary Andrews, Graham and Terry discuss all things James Bond.

Of course some football inevitably slips in, like when they played a tournament to find the best of the 24 Bond films, in the format of the 1982 World Cup in Spain.

Whom Pods Destroy

Terry and Graham are joined by Derek Mantle to discuss the classic Star Trek series of the 1960s.

Every fortnight they look at how the episodes have stood the test of time. We also talk about the wider influence of the creative minds involved, in comics, film and books.
