Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur Podcast

by Jack Hussey · English

Rule the Roost is a Tottenham Hotspur podcast hosted by Jack Hussey. Every Monday, Jack is joined by a guest to make sense of whatever Spurs have done to everyone’s mood that week. Expect match discussion, transfer talk, wider debates about the club and the occasional attempt to work out what any of it actually means. Thursdays are for listener Q&As, covering everything from serious football questions to complete nonsense. After every match, Jack also records a solo reaction on the final whistle: immediate, unfiltered and usually much more emotional than planned. It is thoughtful Spurs discussion without taking itself too seriously, with strong opinions, pop-culture references and absolutely no interest in pretending to be neutral. Up the Spurs.
