Liverpool Stories is a great addition to the show. Looking forward to the next one.
Plenty of candidates for them to do a show on, so can see it having legs.  Hope so, as the Whitechapel one was great.

One on Homebaked in the future, maybe?

I don't know if it's just the radio city episodes because I can't remember (I don't think it is)
but I often have issues with the volume levels of contributors, it usually involves Neil A.

I find one person is a bit quiet so I turn it up and someone else is dead loud, or vice Versa.

Fridays show was a good example, could barely hear Ben Johnson, Neil dead loud.

I've noticed this too. Sometimes some contributors sound a lot louder than others on the same show. I haven't really noticed a pattern to it, more just that the sound levels seem different for each person on some shows.

Might be something as simple as someone sitting nearer to the mic, dunno, but I find it happens enough to be noticeable and a bit frustrating.

Guttman sounds markedly geezerish when he gets piped in over a remote line.  Maybe think about doing the same whenever TAW is previewing a game against one of the London clubs.  "And now, joining us from the bow bells..."

Same here. Can barely hear some of them. Sit closer to the sodding microphone would ya!

Also, very surprised at the chap who seemed adamant that we don't need Keita as we don't really need another midfielder!

Henderson interview was a bit of a disappointment. I don't really expect footballers who are media trained to say anything of any great interest, but if the questions are stuff like "Is Liverpool a special club?", they definitely aren't going to.

Could not agree more. I was shocked at how leading and predictable the questions were, especially from Robbo and John who happen to be my 2 favourite lads off the wrap. I don't know if this was designed to also go on LFC TV. For TAW this was odd.

I thought the Henderson interview was good. Indeed they've done brilliantly to maintain a level of quality throughout the Summer.

Everyone seemed to miss the subtlety of Mo twice suggesting either Barca or RM may need to offer a more than decent player if they ever come in seriously for Coutinho. Very interesting point.

Anyone else joined the Roto Premier League Anfield Wrap Leagues?

https://fantasy.rotopremierleague.com

Last season we played Roto Fantasy League and had a ball.
This year we are going to link TAW Leagues up and play it with you. Everyone plays each other, there is a draft and no one can have the same players. This is what makes it compelling. TAW contributors will be taking part down in leagues with you all.

Sound good? Simply sign up below. We'll talk about it in the TAW Subscribers Facebook group and on shows and you can give us stick on twitter! I'd recommend the Premium settings to get the best out of it. It makes almost every game of Premier League football count in some way.

To join our league, create a team on the link below -

rotopremierleague.com

Confirm your email, then hit the "join league" button. Enter code: TAW.

You'll automatically be sorted into a league with TAW contributors and listeners, broken down into 12-team divisions. Once one league fills up, another is created, and the first user to enter that league becomes its chairman.

Sign up at the same time as your mates. Get everyone playing. Nothing better than a late win.

Any issues at all go to @rotopl on the Twitter or support@rotopremierleague.com. They are running it!

Be great if you fancy doing it. As ever, no worries if not.

What would you have asked him?

I would have asked him about
What happened to your foot last season?
What do you think happened to the team last after New Year's Eve's great win against Manchester City where the team really struggled for the next month?
What was your favourite game in your Liverpool career? (and, why?)
Can you explain what happened when you nearly joined Fulham?
Why have you ended up playing as a 6 since last summer, after not playing their for the first season under Klopp?

But most importantly I would have tried to avoid coaching the answer out of him, so all he has to say is, "Yeah, [X] is great," in response. I've done that, to some extent, when I've interviewed people and I when I catch myself doing it listening back I always think... "just let them answer." The danger of course is that you get short, curt answers that don't give any insight either.

That's questions are off the top of my, so I'm sure a bunch of other stuff would come up in research. As someone else said, Jordan's not "the most dynamic of interviewees" - he's just trying keep his guard up and not drop any clangers, like most footballers. I've only ever interviewed two footballers (one currently playing) and he was really nice but fucking dull as dishwater.

Generally, I don't really think that TAW needs to interview the people who work for LFC because I don't think any of them, with the strange exception of Klopp who couches his evasions in charm, would be that interesting. Brendan Rodgers made great copy when he gave a few tactical insights, but talked a mountain of guff as well. Largely people employed by clubs talk guff.

And Robbo and (particularly) John Gibbons are two of the best contributors to the whole operation - doesn't mean their work is beyond criticism.

Anyway, something positive: I thought the membership tickets show earlier in the summer was great, because it really discussed the issue rather than just being a bunch of heads bitching that they'd just spent all day not getting the tickets they wanted because of some computer fuck-up, which it could easily have turned into.

Yeah, I've always suspected Early was a Red. If he's not, he's very well up on LFC history for a non-red. I assume McDevitt is a Man Utd fan, as is Murph.
