Agree, they were good. Contacted Si to inquire if there were anymore
He said his sponsorship deal with Gardner had come to an end so they stopped
Which is a shame.

The Gardener podcasts that Simon Hartop hosted are definitely worth a listen.

I used to listen to fisherman’s blues on the radio, so enjoyed Keith Arthur’s podcast here and there, wide range of anglers to listen to. Seems to have ended now?

Agree with this a lot. There's some really unlikeable people on the fox one and chilly just comes across badly. I really dislike Mark Pitchers as well despite really enjoying 'the challenge'.
I really like the Korda uncut (but not the normal Korda one, it lost its way when Simon left) and I actually quite enjoyed the Nash one when Hassan did them

I find the baitworks one a bit dull tbh and probably won't bother with the cyp one

I think I like the chemistry and chatty nature of the korda and older Nash podcasts.

I really rate the Uncut ones, none of them take themselves too seriously and they seem to have a laugh while doing it.

Been listening to the Baitworks one for a long time & rate almost all of them, those with Simon Scott are particular faves and a little different to the usual. Also the one with DK and his tigers was excellent, normal blood with a family and a business on the side but still doing it his way.

Korda uncut podcast is great and they're interviews are by far the best, Fox was terrible and tbf, not disputing his contribution to carp fishing Chilly was insufferable so not a bad thing it seems like he's bene dropped.

Cypography should be good again, but Elliot comes across as very overbearing with his opinions of how he's seen it, done it, feels about it etc.

Maybe not a podcast but the two episodes with Chris Yates on BBC radio 4 are a nice listen, one about carp and one about hen harriers.

Baitworks and Carp Chronicles for me

I have listened to the Korda ones a few times when there has been specific guests such as Jason Hayward or Pete Regan

The recent Baitworks one with Si Hartop and Carp Chronicles one with Marcus Watts are both excellent

I watch them and mostly enjoy them. I can't just listen to people rambling on it gets boring very quickly. But with their body language and group interaction it makes them more enjoyable to watch.

Dave Lane on the Fox ones and the Mozza ones tbh were both pretty good - I think because they are both quite expressive people.

The Korda group ones are again quite a good watch because of the interaction between them.

Most of the one on ones are quite dreary though and I tend to avoid them.

It's a shame that the Nash podcasts have finished as they were really good. The episodes with Chris Yates, John Timmermans and Pete Castle were very interesting.

As for the Fox podcast, I tried to listen but God theyre bad. Harry talks so slow I get bored, and Lewis Porter is such an arrogant plop with the way he talks down at the others.

My feeling is that Baitworks is consistently the best (and the least annoying!), followed by Korda.

For a non-fishing podcast The Missing CryptoQueen by the BBC is an amazing true story

Probably the best one I watched was a korda one with pete springate and Ritchie McDonald no bragging no slagging just great reminiscing and a history lesson almost.

Pitchers deserves all the stick he gets for the gambling site. That being said the story about the travel rods was funny!!

The uncut Korda podcast are great but find the normal ones boring. It’s not the greatest subject carp fishing as there is little difference between catches. What is good is when there is different of opinions etc.

The fox one was just trying to copy that but without success. I completely agree on pitchers. Used to like him and would watch all the challenges but he changed and believes he was the face of carp fishing etc

All these podcast hosts have there quirks. Some are Marmite , I agree. Quite like these multi host pods. Your always going to get a bit of banter when you have a few fellas round a table. Even with out the aid of a beer or two.

The new Trakker pod is in the same vane. Your always going to get value for money when you have Frank Warwick involved.

The more pods the better. They definately help with my commute to work. So keep them coming.

The fox podcast is deffo worth a miss.

Apart from Chilly, they're all terrible to listen to. Pitchers is so damn cocky, Lewis is horrid and so very arrogant, and Harry can make someone with the worst insomnia nod off he's that boring.

The Korda podcast is worth a listen to, as is Nash's

I said a while back that the bubble would burst, and I think only the baitworks one will stand the test of time. Zero product pushing, Zero incentive to do anything other than have good conversation both within their own bubble as well as other peoples, and having unique guests who have an interesting perspective on angling.

No direct money but great advertisement for Korda etc. Prize giveaway drives interaction with their social media accounts therefore driving more Korda content. They wouldn't be doing these for free if they can't identify a benefit to the company especially damo who seems business focused

I doubt t theses podcasts are done for the money...

I thought Jason was quite open on both platforms. So what if he's keeping a few things back. We all need our edges. No doubt these things will come to light in time...

it was the same with CarpAngle, actually pretty frustrating to listen to him being questioned, since he clearly didn't want to be open about anything. makes you wonder why he even signs up for these things, unless there's substantial monetary value in it.

I've just watched the Korda one with Jason Hayward. Very interesting. The ones with Damien, Tom, and spooner can be good, I wish Damien would be more forthcoming , as he is one of the best imho.

Was on a dog walk just now and checked the new Nash podcast - insipid & tedious.

I listen to most of them, often just as background noise. I struggled a bit with the new Fox one. The content was interesting but I was struggling to hear the individual voices. Quite a few of them have deep voices and it just didn't come across clearly, especially as they were talking over each other quite a lot. Hopefully they can get that sorted.

It's the only one I listen to as the others might as well just be a recording of all the others just with a different presenter

The United anglers podcast is one of the newer ones. It's seems a few have dropped by the wayside it seems. Maybe the podcast bubble has burst. Who knows?

Just started listening to the Korda ones, Damian's was good and half way through Lockeys. Will probably listen to more on my trips this year.

I would like Simon to do more of the Gardner podcasts, but I guess being a teacher/musician he is short on time.

His podcasts remind me a bit of the original Korda podcast host (also a Simon?). There is more going on upstairs than just fishing.

Baitworks and Gardner are the current ones I bother to listen too.

I not a bait buff so find the carp chronicles a bit hot and miss

Thinking Tackle seems to have gone downhill and talk more amongst themselves rather than interviewing.

I use to love the Carp Cast but it's gone rapidly downhill.

I echo your thoughts on the Baitwork lads - they come across as sound and honest.

A lot started up around COVID time but never continued.

I like the Baitworks podcasts. Down to earth & quite amusing at times. Mark comes across as a really decent guy.👍

Some of the carp chronicles are good. I find Sam irritating at times. Especially when he gets pissed up (most shows) & constantly swears. That might sound like an odd criticism - it's probably just me. He also comes across like he can't really be bothered half of the time.

Nash are pants.

I'll have to check out the Fox podcasts. As long as they don't have pitchers on.

Simon Hartop took the Gardner one for a few episodes, they were better than the ones that went before him.

Nash one has started back up, it hasn't improved.
Korda and Baitworks are the 2 I listen to, consistent quality IMO.

I have been listening to a few of late, Carpcast the Baitworks one and the Gardner - any other carp fishing based one's worth a listen ( Not the Nash ) - as an aside been also listening to The Rest is History very good also, so I suppose any good podcasts worth a listen really?.
