Does @davidmooney.co.uk look like Donnarumma?

♥️ THE 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒 SHOW 🤍 #SAFC are the visitors to the Etihad this week, with #MCFC our next opponents. Join us and the excellent David from @bluemoonpodcast.com to discuss the price of success, 'alien' Haaland, and Saturday's big game. linktr.ee/wtfsunderlan...

So please tell a friend, please steal their phone from them while you go to their podcast app and subscribe to the show on it, and please do leave a review where you can (especially on Apple podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...)

It's a difficult time for independent podcasts because of the sheer weight of competition that is out there, and we rely on word of mouth as much as anything to build the audience. So much work goes into the episodes and surviving on ad revenue means we need as many ears on the show as we can.

I've been working really hard to try and grow the listeners for the podcast this season. I feel like it's been sounding the best it's sounded in ages and the guests have all been great... But listener numbers stay very consistent... Please tell your friends/family/pets and get them to subscribe!
