Reply. Retweet. Like. Mute. Block. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to talk Twitter.
It’s the social media platform most people cannot stand but are also addicted to, with Sachin very much in that camp. He loves/hates Twitter and is joined by two cracking guests to discuss this most twisted of online relationships - podcaster Laura Kirk and deputy editor of Arseblog News, Andrew Allen.
Laura and Andrew speak with great wit and honesty about how they interact with Twitter and why, like Sachin, they tend to keep it light when it comes to football chat on there. Jokes rather than tactics. Memes rather than metrics.
Being Gooners, Laura and Andrew also talk about what it’s like to be part of ‘Arsenal Twitter’, a group of people who do a great line in gallows humour, which, as they explain, is largely a coping mechanism during this turbulent time for their club.
There’s also an interesting discussion about the merits of teaching social media-use in schools before the conversation returns to Arsenal, including why Laura and Andrew support the club in the first place. Laura’s answer is especially marvellous.
The guests also talk about AFTV and Mikel Arteta before going through their all-time Arsenal XIs and providing different but equally interesting answers to the final question. Oh, and there’s also a bit about the Spice Girls.
So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot.
Cheers!
