Podcast
My Old Man Said is one of the original Aston Villa podcasts — started before ‘content creator’ was a job title and stubbornly refusing to rebrand since. We make shows, not content landfill. Shows that entertain as much as they inform, recorded for supporters rather than algorithms. Unlike most Villa media, MOMS has been in the room with the club’s decision-makers and represented supporters at consultations. A strong ethical code runs through everything — no influencers, no fanboyism, no PR access trade-offs. Independent Aston Villa news and podcasts, with the supporter’s perspective at the centre of everything.
