Talking Devils

Wayne Barton is a published author on Manchester United history, and his podcast reflects that depth of knowledge. Talking Devils produces an impressive volume of content -- 524 episodes with daily updates that range from quick 5-minute news briefs to full 45-60 minute interview episodes. The guest booking sets this apart from pure fan podcasts. Paul Parker, an actual Manchester United legend, appears regularly on Mondays. Former youth players Lee Lawrence and Phil Marsh contribute insights about the academy system that you simply will not hear elsewhere. Barton also runs historical deep-dive episodes, drawing from his book research to tell stories about the club past that connect to the present. The mix of daily news, long-form interviews, tactical analysis, and historical content means there is something for every type of United fan. The show even covers the women team, which many United podcasts overlook entirely. Hosted on Acast and rated 4.6 from 11 reviews, the audience is smaller than some rivals but intensely loyal. The views expressed are noted as independent from any editorial oversight, giving Barton freedom to be genuinely critical when he needs to be. If you want a podcast that treats Manchester United as a living institution with 140-plus years of history rather than just a collection of current transfer targets, this delivers.
