24/7 banter radio station TalkSPORT has just this week launched Howler, a new twice-weekly podcast in which famous former footballers recount their most legendary fails, off-pitch disasters and “infamous career blunders”.
The main show will be available every Tuesday across YouTube, the Talksport app and all major podcast platforms, with a sister podcast, No Balls Allowed, allowing guests to talk about anything except football each Thursday.

“It’s been fascinating meeting some of the game’s finest ex-pros, and finding out how they managed to overcome their greatest challenges,” says the show’s host, while TalkSPORT’s head of podcasts Abi Paterson said that their “natural warmth makes guests feel completely safe to pull back the curtain and share those moments they’d rather forget”.
The show is currently limited to the career disasters of footballers, although its format would lend it to people who have worked across all areas of entertainment.
Might the podcast’s host – former Little Britain star Matt Lucas – have anybody timely in his Rolodex who might have some spectacular errors of judgement in their past to discuss?
