The Football Ramble is a podcast, about association football, produced in London by podcast production company Stak.[1] Originally provided fortnightly, this was increased to a weekly show at the beginning of the 09/10 football season, mainly due to repeated listener requests. In October 2015, the podcast became biweekly with a preview show of the weekend's football going out on a Friday followed by a show on Monday reflecting on the weekend's action and previewing any midweek games that may be occurring.
It is currently presented by Marcus Speller, Luke Moore, Pete Donaldson, Jim Campbell and Vithushan Ehantharajah. It mainly focuses on the Premier League and world football, and to a lesser extent the English Football League, Italian, German, Spanish and Scottish leagues.
