I've got to say, its really good. I thought it would be an unsophisticated, poorly recorded load of drivel. It isn't. Its highly entertaining, interesting and hillarious. The guys gel very well and all bring something different. I like the different accents and they all have a good sense of humour.

I always end up laughing out loud at some points, when they were talking about Frank W's music in between fights and someone said they were playing Mambo No5 at Lee Saunders had in me in proper stitches.

Have to say after the bickering at that start that was really good it ferreting to hear Kugans side of things. Got time for IFL they do a good job.

It's great - I'm on it. Aside from the bullshit they are really knowledgeable guys who love boxing.

The best podcast I've ever heard. That Kurt guy is sensational, how long before Sky or HBO get him on board?

I originally tuned into this podcast to hear some guys who love boxing supply a bit of irreverent lad-banter and occasional innuendo. Imagine my surprise when they articulated themselves in tones so soothing it puts Charles & Eddie to shame. The ad-lib one liners are delivered with the military precision of a Patriot missile and despite some of the protagonists being Scottish, they actually make salient points. My pet hamster has been pretty ill over Christmas and to be honest I feared for him. Piping this podcast into his cage has seen a turnaround so dramatic I have had to have him drug tested. He's even tried shagging the Guinea pig. In short, this podcast is probably the greatest thing to be broadcast in Britain since Roy Walker was unceremoniously dumped as host of hit ITV gameshow Catchphrase. However, there's also a really boring Brummie twat on it though. At first I thought it was Jasper Carrott but have since discovered it isn't. Disappointing.

Listened for first time with the Kugan show.

At first it was bloody annoying, but to be fair when the aggro calmed down it was really interesting

It's entertaining, I always stick it on in the background. They're all good lads who like to take the piss.

The more serious the guest, the more of a rise they get.

I must admit he is the weak link for me. Mr Monotone talks as if he is some sort of Oracle of boxing with superior insight and intelligence when he often spouts a lot of bollox

Just caught a few minutes of it, sounded pretty good that Tommy fella was a good laugh, I'll have to listen to some more when I'm not obsessing with making a murderer and man in the high castle.

By far the most coherent person on the podcast, he was the best thing about it, bar Kugan.

Sorry man, Paul isn't it? But you really do not know as much as you think. Monologues with elements of accuracy do not make it all logical.

I quite enjoy it when I listen to it but the relentless cynicism about pretty much everything in the sport can be a bit tiresome. Most of it is valid tbf but a lot of it is one-sided and cynicism for the sake of it.

We all know there's a lot to moan about but there's hardly any enthusiasm or positivity about any fights/fighters/anything, so ends up a bit depressing.

Clearly they're all passionate about boxing but it would be nice to hear it from a positive perspective every so often :TU:

I used to listen to it on some app thing but think it moved. Where and when can it be found live now?

I just search 'Boxing Asylum Podcast' on Google on my phone every so often, should take you straight to the download page. They have a website as well, but I find it difficult to navigate.

Edit: Just realised you were asking about listening live. In which case I have no idea :lol:
