Our Editor's Take

The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast celebrates the beloved soccer team. It provides a common forum for Brentford fans from across the globe to share their love for the team. The title comes from the team's bee nickname. Fans can expect preview and post-game shows, as well as player stats and analysis throughout the season. This podcast is the official audio companion to the popular fanzine of the same name That magazine has since gained a blog, vlog, and podcast to dedicate to the team's efforts.

The creators and hosts of this podcast are Billy Grant and Dave Lane. Both of them have been fans of the team for decades. Grant has been writing for the magazine for over two decades. He is also a London council member and a cofounder of Girls Football Club.

Lane has been the magazine's editor since its founding in 1990. He has been working in publishing for over 30 years. He began his career in 1988 as a Deputy Production Services Manager for the Financial Times. He has been the Head of Acquisitions for Meyer and Meyer Sport since 2013. In addition to his work in publishing, he is also a filmmaker.

One of the things that listeners are likely to enjoy about this podcast is how comprehensive it is. The podcast will release a new episode several days before each upcoming match. The episode will offer predictions for specific players and the match. The tone of these shows tends to be analytical but also fun.

The post-game episodes can be compelling, as one sees the hosts' accuracy. There might be something relatable about how they do not hide their feelings if the team does not do well. This openness helps to make the podcast feel more relatable and human. Listeners will likely appreciate the sentiments of the hosts in this fashion.

New episodes of The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast air two times a week. The days rotate depending on the match schedule for that week.
