Chemistry Lessons

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are everywhere. In our homes, schools, and even Spurs podcasts.I decided to take some time to explore the human and machine sides of creating a Tottenham Hotspur podcast.Listen if you’re interested in learning more about how I make this show and what tools are available to podcasters to help them talk about Spurs. I also speak to the philosophy and ethics of using AI tools when speaking about your love for football.With special thanks to Stu Woodrow from the YAPS and CADS podcasts for speaking with me about the AI tools he uses and created. You can listen to both shows on all major podcasting platforms and YouTube.

How good (or not) are Tottenham Hotspur podcasters at predicting the future?In this episode, I put predictions from Spurs podcasts under the microscope, looking at their calls during the opening weeks of the 2026/27 Premier League season. Which shows made the most accurate predictions? Which got things most spectacularly wrong? And which podcasters were the most positive about Tottenham?I compare their prediction records with the implied probabilities from betting odds, the Opta supercomputer, and predictions from professional football pundits. Along the way, we’ll see how the different approaches stack up and whether the experts are actually any better at predicting football than the Spurs supporters behind the microphones.Finally, I step back from the numbers to ask a bigger question: why do we make predictions about sport in the first place? What do we get from trying to predict something as inherently unpredictable as a football match and how much value should we really place on getting those predictions right?This is a look at Spurs predictions, football forecasting, and the strange appeal of being confidently wrong about what happens next.

Welcome to the most unnecessarily complicated way of deciding what you think about Tottenham’s summer transfer window.This is a choose-your-own-adventure Spurs podcast, where every signing and every departure comes with a choice: listen to the case for, skip to the case against, or wander off down a completely different branch of the Tottenham Hotspur opinion multiverse.I’ve taken the arguments, optimism, pessimism, tactical theories, red flags and transfer-window delirium from across the Spurs podcast universe and put them all in one glorious, deeply unreliable decision tree.Like the signing? Listen. Not convinced? Skip to the criticism.With every decision changing your episode, there are roughly one quintillion possible combinations of Spurs opinions to make your perfect podcast.

In this episode, I take another look at the Tottenham Hotspur podcasting and YouTube landscape: how many shows are currently active, how many have started or disappeared over the last two years, and what the numbers can tell us about the way the Spurs podosphere has changed over time.There are more Spurs podcasts than you might think. But the interesting story isn't just the number that exist today, it's the content creation churn. New shows keep appearing, others quietly stop publishing and the overall shape of the podcasting community has changed considerably since the early days of fan podcasting.I also look back at the effect of a certain worldwide disruption that started in 2020...Listen here for the full list of active Spurs shows: https://open.spotify.com/episode/57dHDMdrkO0qbxKGjrWQsrCOYSFollow Poddenham Podspur on Bluesky: @poddenhampodspur.bsky.socialEmail the show: [email protected] the blog: blogspur.substack.comMusic by Neb Economou: @nesbutt.bsky.social#COYS #THFC #Tottenham #TottenhamHotspur #Spurs #SpursPodcast #FootballFans
