While Kev was away last week Paul got to speak to the man whose blog posts have kept him entertained for twenty years, Andrew Mangan of Arseblog. Andrew tells us more about his road to becoming arguably the most-consumed football fan content in world football, building communities, the importance of building a daily ritual, and much much more.

Then Paul and Kev catch up about Kev's exploits at Authorcon, and Paul moans about not getting very much done over the last week.

Check out Arseblog, and the Arseblog Patreon. This April, Andrew and the team are donating 100% of their proceeds to UNICEF, so if you're ever going to join, now's the time.
