The new football season is here — and Talk of the Devils is once again the place for all your podcasting needs.
The Athletic’s beloved Manchester United show is now back to at least two episodes a week until the end of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, with bonus episodes continuing every other week too.
Laurie Whitwell, Carl Anka, Andy Mitten and host Ian Irving will bring you all the latest from Old Trafford as the team begin to bounce back from their worst finish in Premier League history.
The big change for the show this summer has been their foray onto YouTube, with video episodes and bespoke social content available on their dedicated channels.
“The biggest strength of Talk of the Devils is the level of insight,” Ian says.
“Between the lads, they are across everything that’s happening at Old Trafford — in Andy’s case, everything that has happened at Old Trafford for a very long time. There’s a depth of knowledge and insight that you don’t get anywhere else.
“It’s easy to know who to ask what question; whether it be about the very latest transfer news, a tactical breakdown of what Ruben Amorim is preparing for the new season or how old the floodlights are at Blundell Park, where United will play Grimsby in the Carabao Cup this month. Tune in before the match in a couple of weeks to find out.
“We always hope that it’s as much fun to watch and listen to as it is to make.”
After sold-out shows over the past few years, the quartet are going back on the road for a five-date tour of the UK and the Republic of Ireland later in 2025. To buy tickets to the live shows, click here.
