Manchester Podcast Festival: Set Piece Menu

This is Set Piece Menu – the podcast where four friends talk about football over food.

They are together a writer, a commentator, a presenter and a pundit. Rory Smith is the Chief Soccer Correspondent of the New York Times, Steve Wyeth commentates for BT Sport, Hugh Ferris is a presenter at BBC Sport, and Andy Hinchcliffe is a former England international (seven caps) who is now a pundit for Sky Sports. On each episode they discuss one footballing issue, while digesting a delicious lunch or brunch, and almost never reaching any sort of conclusion.

This is part of Manchester Podcast Festival, bringing the world’s best podcasts to live audiences in Manchester this November. Be in the audience and experience the live recordings of your favourite podcasts.
