Athletico Mince is a British comedy podcast hosted by Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson.[1][2] The series began life as a humorous take on the world of football, including discussions such as whether being gentle in the Premier League makes one a better manager. As the podcast evolved however, the focus of the segments has switched more towards the bizarre, and often true, experiences and encounters of the hosts.[3] Despite the move away from football, there are still a number of features that include personalities within the world of sport such as Steve McClaren, Mark Lawrenson and Peter Beardsley. Other features include Bob’s trips to South Africa, Dom Littlewood and Andy's interactions with Jeremy Corbyn.[4]
The podcast was first released on 8 March 2016. In late 2016 a live version of the show was created and has since been toured around the UK, with a video available online.[5] As of March 2018, the podcast had over 30 million listeners, with over 200,000 per episode.[6][7][8]
Since April 2019, the podcast has used Patreon as a platform to introduce the 'Club Parsnips'[9] membership. This allows the audience to pay for the content, if they wish. The benefits include bonus episodes, access to episodes earlier and no advertisements during episodes.
