United Hour

United Hour grew out of the RedCafe.net online forum community, and that origin story shapes everything about the show. Hosted by a rotating cast including Nik, Imran, Jamie, Ed, and Ashwin -- all season ticket holders from the Stretford End and J Stand -- the podcast captures the voice of fans who are actually in the ground every other Saturday. Running since 2014 with 192 episodes on a biweekly schedule, United Hour has quietly maintained one of the longest-running independent United podcasts without chasing trends or trying to become a media brand. The format is organic discussion among mates who have been debating United on internet forums for years. Episodes run 50 minutes to over an hour and cover post-match analysis, managerial decisions, tactical debates, and plenty of nostalgia. The RedCafe connection means the hosts bring a cross-section of forum opinion rather than just one perspective, and you can hear genuine disagreements play out in real time. Rated 4.3 from 22 reviews, the show does not have the biggest audience, but reviews consistently mention the entertaining discussions and passionate fan perspectives. If you miss the days when football fan discourse happened on forums rather than Twitter threads, United Hour preserves that energy. These are actual matchgoing fans talking about their club with knowledge earned from years in the stands.
