One Night in Munich: Nottingham Forest's Journey to Win the European Cup in 1979

15 May 19

You will struggle to find a Reds fan who won’t tell you that the arrival of Brian Clough at the City Ground in January 1975 set Nottingham Forest on a remarkable course from obscurity in the old Division Two, to the top of Europe. With this month marking forty years since the team lifted the European Cup, what better opportunity to revisit that miraculous journey?

A Referee in Notts

09 May 19

When I first started, ten or twelve years ago, I did it for a bit of cash on the side. Soon, though, I found it gave me another view of the game that I probably didn't get when I was younger. Ten years ago, I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d be still enjoying what I do.

The Future History of the British Isles is an Apocalyptic Sketch Comedy Podcast Set in Nottingham

11 May 19

It’s dark, it’s dreary, it’s hopeless. No, we’re not talking about the current political climate (though we could’ve been); it’s the newest dark comedy podcasting feature to come out of the Midlands. The Future History of the British Isles takes a satirical look at the world we live in by blowing it up and starting over, this time with a lot more murder and mayhem. Before things finally go tits up, we managed to chat with writer and producer, Hugh Dichmont. He gave us the rundown on the show, the events that inspired it and the seemingly unstoppable force of the indie podcast medium.

10 Nottingham Podcasts You Should Check Out

06 May 19

There’s something strangely addictive about listening to podcasts. While most of them aren't glossy or scripted, that’s exactly what makes them so listenable. We’ve seen podcasts change lives (Serial Series One), spawn TV shows (Dirty John) and attempt to solve crimes that the police have long forgotten about (The Teacher’s Pet). With many podcasts being recorded by random fans in living rooms all over the world, it all feels a bit DIY. It’s a culture that, when done well, can be incredibly fun, and seems to be having something of a resurgence of late. Don’t like the radio DJ? Change the station or, in this case, the app. It’s now possible to find a podcast on every subject, from gardening to grime. If its niche, you can guarantee there are nerds with mics discussing it. With a decent number of podcasts coming out of Notts, and even more with strong links to the city, here’s a rundown of some of the best…
