    POD for tactical fans
    Good tactical previews and reviews. Dan doesn’t get caught up knee jerk reactions. Good range of guests.
  • Funqwerty
    Great pod
    Dan obviously is extremely dedicated to knowing everything about Barca, and we get the benefits. He is down to earth, detailed, passionate, and fun to listen to. I have been a listener of this podcast for a long time, and I can say, it is always a highlight for me when a new episode comes out. Give it a try and join The Barcelona Podcast family! Thank you for what you do Dan!
  • Zackmo8
    Best Barça pod for English speakers!
    How else would I stay close to my favorite club without Dan’s regular analysis? I appreciate the hard work and objective opinions that Dan regularly puts out regarding current happenings with Barça. Excellent content for global Culers!

    BRAVO, Dan! Awesome job putting Toni on the program! You combined my two favorite Podcasts in one delicious show! FANTASTIC! Keep it up! @jerseyjoe75
  • Aurelius Russell
    Excellent
    As a state-side Culer, this show does a phenomenal job of balancing the perspectives here in the states as well as those of the Culers in Barcelona itself. I haven’t been able to check out the YouTube media but the audio alone is what makes this so great for suffering after Barça losses while at work.
  • Dr1zzle87
    Great Podcast.
    Thank you for providing this amazing podcast. I love hearing all things Barcelona. I try to always hear all the episodes and will learn new things that I may notbhace read elsewhere. Loving where Barca is headed even though it may not be pretty at first.
  • Marat Ryndin
    The best Barcelona podcast!
    Absolutely the best! Dan's knowledge of football in general and Barcelona in particular is just incredible. Very intelligent, rational analysis. Great insight on the tactics as well. Light years better than you'll get from ESPN FC or any other source. I thought I was very knowledgeable about FC Barcelona before I came across this podcast. I was wrong. My knowledge is now probably 10x.

    Solid conversation on relevant matters.

    Great Barca Talks
    Discovered this pod thanks to the great people over at Mes Que Un Podcast. I’m happy to report that, in a fandom with so much negativity, this podcast manages to put a positive and level-headed perspective to the FC Barcelona conversation.

  • Dfalcon17
    Love the podcast
    Love the Facebook group as well! A lot of open discussion on the beat club in the world!
  • MERICA_in_yo_face
    Love it
    Great podcast and always look forward to listening. I love how they really are focused on the importance of this club. Francec is great and does an amazing job at challenging your personal thoughts on how things are or could go with the Club. I also enjoy Dan’s consistent optimism. These two have such a great chemistry in discussing all things Barça. If you’re not subscribed to their podcast, can you really be called Culers?

  • RehamG
    Love the podcast
    Great info. Enjoy the different guest but Francesc is the best. Love when he ends the show with Forca, as I openly shout Barca wether at work home or out and about. Keep up the great work for this Cule from Missouri

    Messi Criticism is Absolutely Disgraceful
    He isn’t leaving a sinking ship. He stayed in a sinking ship for YEEEEAAAAAAAARS. The fact that u didnt even bring up what led to this moment. The constant games he rescued this club under velverde and even 2017 under Enrique not discussed not even once in tour past several podcasts. What u did was disrespect a player who gave his entire life to this club. Yeah, barca shaped him and his career and the player benefited from that immensely. But who benefitted more? The club made a minuscule investment in him and he rewarded them million times more. Get a grip. Unsubscribed!!!!
  • RMCortina
    Visca Barça
    Francesc is absolutely correct. These last thirty years have been good years especially the ones with Messi where we won four C.L. cups. But those young fans wouldn’t remember when we would fight Valencia for a Champions League spot. Barcelona has seen good times and very bad times as a city and a club. That it is why we are “Mes que un club”. Remember: Cuando la bolsa está buena Barcelona está buena. Y cuando la bolsa no está buena, Barcelona siempre sigue buena
  • shakesmenon
    My go-to for FCB podcasts
    Best Barça podcast out there. Great content and the yin and yang of the two presenters keeps me entertained.
  • El Duque de Barça
    Excellent Barça Discussions
    Club history, concise match reviews, club culture, managing and playing ethos and style all discussed. Hosts sometimes have differing opinions and insights which keeps it from having that cheerleading echo chamber feel that awful fanboy casts and accounts have. Very honest and nuanced discussions and not a social media propaganda factory. Honesty and explanation is appreciated.

    About Barca
  • emowatermelon
    I love this show! but...
    I know the show has started implementing ads, but please match the volumes for the ads and volumes of the hosts. They are so soft spoken (which I don’t mind without ads) and the ads are such high volume they seriously hurt our ears when sudden ads come on. Or atleast announce that an ad is coming that we can lower our volumes to prepare ourselves. Thank you, keep up your good work!
  • mk2396
    In depth Barca pod
    Great Podcast for Barca fans who want to be appraised of everything surrounding the club, including FCB Femini and Barca B.

    Best Barca podcast
    Week after week, I love listening to this pod. Also, Francesc and Dan have built such a great Barca community. They bring on great guests, made an awesome Facebook group specifically for their listeners (it's a good time lol), and provide awesome, well-informed content. Thanks for all of your work!
  • Tape Doctor
    Whinge On!
    I gave these guys a chance for a year and now they are gone. Despite last season's unprecendented success with the domestic double in Valverde's first season as manager, all they do is complain about this or that or something else. Their guests are no better. There is a difference between being a rah rah fan cheerleader who cannot ever see anything wrong with their club versus someone who thinks that if the club does not play the way that Cruyff or Pep had them playing at their most beautiful Barça best, then something is horribly wrong. Watching the club is always a great experience for 90 minutes but then listening to these clowns whinge on for an hour about the match is a pointless downer that no one needs to subject themselves to voluntarily.
  • Fukwityaboi
    Awesome futbol podcast!
    Great podcast for all Barça fans! These guys really have a passion for Barcelona and discuss important topics going on in the Club. They analyze the team’s/players tactics, strategies and weaknesses. I’m from Los Angeles and I started listening to this podcast about a month ago and I gotta tell you, they’ve helped me gain a lot more knowledge on our club! Great job Dan and Francesc!
  • vav717

    Excellent
    This podcast is excellent. Being the only person in the group of friends to support Barcelona, I feel that I can consider Francesc and Dan friends. Thanks guys, I no longer feel alone! Keep up the excellent work. Força Barça!!
  • FSU183819183837
    My favorite Barca podcast
    Took me a while but finally found an English-speaking Barcelona podcast I could fully immerse myself in. Francesc and Dan do a fantastic job of breaking down the most recent Barca games, our players' performances and potential signings for the team -- along with other topics of intrigue that pop up throughout the season. Absolutely love the show; keep up the great work, guys. Força Barça.
  • maldonado500
    Great Show!!!
    For any Barcelona fan new and old this podcast will keep you up to date on current news from your favorite team. Follow along with the entertaining and well informed hosts. Get the inside scoop from reliable sources and learn more about Barca or just listen along and love our club with us. I’ve followed this show from the beginning and Was never dissatisfied 5 of 5 would recommend to everyone. Força Barça!
  • YellaBellaLia
    More Tactical Analysis Less Transfer News
    I really enjoy listening to the podcast. My only suggestion is spend less time discussing all the transfer rumors and player aquisitions and spend more time on pre and post game/tactical analysis. The last El Clasico Preview was terrific prematch analysis. The discussion of tactics and anticipated player selection was excellent. I read so many transfer rumors from the media that never come true. If you believe everything in the media Barca would have acquired CR7, Ozil, Pogba, Shevchenko, Maldini and the list goes on and on. Please help us understand Ernesto Valverde match strategy pre and post match. Thank both so very much and Merry Christmas. Chris K

    You spoiled us w/ 2 episodes a week
    A bummer that their is only one episode a week now. The show feels crammed now... either way thank you all for your amazing work!
  • Chowzoi
    Great Barca Pod
    I recently found this podcast and am enjoying it a lot. I was looking for a pod that concentrated on FCB. Dan and Francesc give all the latest news and have interesting conversations about what's going on in the club.
  • Azmi Ab
    Kinda boring
    I’m sorry but I feel like you guys need to be more energetic and be more fun. I also feel that there’s a lot of information coming from Barca talk on YouTube, just need a bit more creativity. I apologize that I sound harsh but it’s just my honest opinion.
  • Cule4lyfe
    Best Pod Around
    Love the show! Always the highlight of my week! Dan and Francesc are brilliant🔥 can't get enough of it!!! Thank y'all from an Arkansas Cule, there's no better place to hear about what's happening at Barcelona than The Barcelona Podcast! Recommending to all friends.
  • underoathfreek4life
    Don’t sleep on this.
    This podcast is great for anyone who wants to get into the FC Barcelona fan club a little more deeply. The dynamic between the two hosts is great and I love the dedication that they have toward being as objective as possible with the team. Great material for anyone who wants to have a more informed opinion on the best team in the world. Força Barca!
  • ferraritokyodrift
    A podcast of the Culés, for the Culés, by the Culés. A brilliant podcast
    This is a MUST-LISTEN for current and future FC Barcelona fans all across the globe. The hosts Francesc and Dan provide a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of matches, player performances, movements concerning the board, local fan reactions, transfer rumors, and more. Francesc being a Barcelona native and FCB supporter for life provides valuable local views and information foreigners like myself can never know about. Dan on the other hand is adept at indicating key points when reviewing a game using accurate statistics and highlights. The five-star ratings of players for each match generates discussions and debate, which deepens one's love for football and for the club. Another characteristic of the podcast is the listener-fan questions, where the hosts do their best to answer as many questions posed to them via twitter, facebook, and the Barcelona Blog. Personally I've had the distinct privilege of Dan and Francesc answering many of my questions that I posted on Twitter, which shows how much the two hosts care about their listeners. There is nothing more pleasing than having your name be called in the podcast and be given a very satisfying response to your questions. One of the recent highlights of the podcast I'd also like to mention is that both hosts, despite an emotionally turbulent period, remained impartial to explain the recent Catalan referendum and how it affected the club, which was greatly appreciated in an age of fake news and biased reporting. There are many other positives I'd like to mention, but in total, The Barcelona Podcast which I've been listening since episode 1 is the go-to-podcast for anyone already a fan of FC Barcelona and those interested in learning about the world's best club. Forca!
  • JonPattillo
    My favorite podcast!
    FANTASTIC PODCAST! As a devoted Culer in the United States it is hard to find good, in-depth discussions about the greatest club in the world. It's a lonely existence here in the States when all I want to talk about is the 4-3-3, player rotation and integrating promising talent from La Masía - I get a lot of funny looks and confused faces. With excellent analysis and commentary about weekly developments, the Barcelona Podcast helps me feel connected to the world-wide community of fans. I feel like Francesc and Dan are riding along in car with me, excitedly talking about our favorite subject. I look forward to listening every week. Keep up the good work guys! ¡ForcaBarça!
  • @barcacampeones1
    Excellent Podcast
    Excellent podcast about our club. Thank you for your professionalism. Always and forever, support Barca!
  • Blaugrana23
    Quality, Professional, Insightful
    When I was younger, I dreamed of creating a podcast that can educate and create discussion through insight, analysis, and opinion to the U.S. market because it simply wasn't talked about enough. The Barcelona Podcast has made this a reality. Local based journalist coupled with a State-side commentator mixes well and provide consistent quality reports on what is happening in the world of F.C. Barcelona. Highly recommended to veteran Cules and new Cules alike! Thank you guys for starting my days off great talking about the club we have all grown to love. Visca Barça!
  • Sofi0518
    Great show!
    Very informative and great insight. Looking forward to adding this to my regular podcast schedule. Força Barça!
  • Barcaray
    Excellent Podcast!
    I'm a 43 year old fan that followed the team through my family near Taragona in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. The information you provide is very appreciated! Even with the internet, nothing can take the place of an educated Catalan fan when it comes to getting information about what is really happening in Barcelona. And please get rid of the Barca board already! Thanks again! Ray from South Carolina
  • ColoradoBarca
    Just discovered!
    I just discovered this podcast in the past couple of weeks and am addicted already. Great technical analysis of the action on the pitch as well as the transfer rumors and new players' strengths/weaknesses and how they could fit in with the squad. I also love the objective yet passionate coverage of the off-the-field controversy with Bartomeu and the current board. I love Barca and now feel more informed about what's happening with the Club behind the scenes.
