This podcast was never my fav. London is Blue takes that by a country mile. But it was pretty good before Mike and Chris were replaced by this crew. A hockey journalist who knows nothing about football in general or Chelsea in particular? Seriously? Enthusiasm can only take the pod so far. Even Lee can’t save it.

Shouldn’t be able to use the shows ratings before you switched hosts, false advertising. Never should have changed the original hosts Chris, Ryan and Mike were the best. Used to be one of my favorite podcast now not even in my rotation. Disappointing!

Podcast is horrible ever since they were too cheap to keep Mike Ryan. He made this show and they stole it from him and made it garbage

Just not the same without Mike Ryan.

The hosts sound like snowboarding hipsters from the early ‘90s.

That is all

You can’t fake the passion that guy has for the team. His energy was great too. Sorely missed.

Not a good listen anymore at all with the new cast and format. Also, why not change the podcast name completely, it’s very deceptive to slightly change the name with spelling. It’s a serious bait and switch where the former hosts built a brand and following and then corporate ruined it. I unsubscribed and won’t be back.

They cut the talent who made this show great. Now this is just a fluff and turf sandwich; call it truffle flufferbutter. Love to MRR

The recent changes the to podcast and the host change are just terrible. Mike Ryan brought integrity and a fun personality to the podcast. Grew it from the ground up and then they dropped him like third period French. For shame. Have fun listening to your propagandacast.

The new changes to this podcast have lowered the quality of the product.

But it didn’t feel that way with mike and Chris. Mike Ryan was a true fan and you could feel it. Can’t believe the club doesn’t care about its fans. Moving over to London is Blue

Used to be a great podcast with Mike and Chris. Not so much anymore with the new hosts. The episodes feel frantic. The discussion is unfocused. They bounce around so quickly in an effort to cover every topic possible. The listener barely has any time to consider and absorb the commentary before Brandon switches to some other newly branded “thing.” Their commentary feels forced and often comes across as just another effort to prove how big and genuine a fan they are. Yeah I get it. We’re all fans. That’s why I listen to podcasts about my favorite club, but why should I listen to “you?” This ensemble lacks chemistry. Even Lee can’t save this pod. Should’ve just started a new pod with a new name (appears they kept it for the 5 star ratings Mike and Chris earned) and kept it simple with only two hosts, maybe just Lee and Brandon.

Through and through Chelsea supporter but my story started with fifa 12 and I started listened to the Lebatard show. I grew to Live Chelsea playing fifa and 7 years later I learned Mike Ryan was a fan, a year later you gave him a show andddd then you crumbled like Man U. Scrubs

How can you have a “Chelsea Mic’d up”… nah, F that! This thing is called “Chelsea Mike’d up!” This podcast is a complete and utter fraud without Mike Ryan and my guy, the fancy lad, Chris Wittyngham.

This was easily my favorite podcast to listen to when Mike and Chris were hosting. I tried to give the new hosts a go, but it’s not completely unlistenable. No insight. Just pumping sunshine and terribly produced. Such a disappointment just when the club had something good going. Do not waste your time with this.

What was once a great podcast has drastically fallen off with the new hosts. I don’t see the reasoning behind getting rid of Mike and Chris and I definitely don’t see the reasoning behind bringing in the current hosts. Hard to listen to now.

What was the best Chelsea Podcast under Mile and Chris is now the worst under this new group of hosts. I loved Mike’s enthusiasm and passion, this new group I’m not even sure are Chelsea fans. Sounds quality is awful. Bring back Mike and Chris at whatever cost please.

I gave the new version a chance, but couldn’t make it through either episode. Feels fake and forced. Somehow overproduced even though the audio quality is poor. Should have changed the name if they wanted to stand a chance.

This is sad to see...really enjoyed listening previously but now its just okay. Maybe there are too many different voices and less passion? Or maybe its just something that Mike & Chris just had that you can't really explain. It was great to have one very passionate Chelsea fan and a neutral voice. I hope some adjustments can be made after seeing all these new reviews! I have faith in the club!

Chelsea has all the money in the world and couldn’t afford to bring back Mike and Chris? Then you rip off the name on top of it 🤣 see ya round

Emily “I needed a hobby during lockdown so I started following Chelsea” Kaplan. Lee is great, can’t listen to the rest

Became a fan of the club because of Mike Ryan and Witty, was all set to dive in and sub but now will not be listening. New show lacks all the passion Mike brings when he talks about Chelsea FC.

If you want good Chelsea podcasts listen to the Chelsea FanCast first and foremost.Opinions from people that have been fans for 40+ years. Straight out of Cobham is excellent for the inside information journalists get from being around the club. Then there’s The Chels podcast (we miss you Ceri, speedy recovery) with again fans that have a history with the club and love the club. If you want a good American Chelsea podcast listen to London is Blue. Grass roots podcast built up by 3 fans that now have a decent audience size and ability to get good guests on to talk Chelsea. They added Joe Tweeds to talk tactics which was a great addition. Point being sadly is the official Chelsea podcast is the last place to go for a good podcast.

Whoa! What happened?! Bring back Mike and Chris they had a great, authentic thing going. These new hosts are fine, but it feels significantly more scripted, produced, and manufactured. I’ll give them a few more try’s and change my rating need be.

So they build up the pod and you kick them to the curb? What a trash club.

Why the drastic shirt?!

First, I’d like to say I’m sure all involved with this pod are nice people. This is not directed at the host themselves. That being said, what is this!? How can the official Chelsea podcast be hosted by a hockey analyst? Barely a Chelsea fan even? Chelsea have missed the mark completely here. If they wanted the Chelsea podcast done by Americans they should have just given the access to the London is Blue team. It already has traction with the American audience (abroad fans as well), and ummm, they are actual Chelsea supporters. Huge miss Chelsea. Try again, please.

Won’t be back till you Bring back mike and witty Pay them

🤷‍♂️

There is now a large and unnecessary void in Chelsea content. Pay them

“Good podcast Pod good Pod = good” This is what happens when a great podcast brings more Americans fans to football and Chelsea football plus gets nominated for awards. You dump the hosts?!? Too bad, I loved this pod. But no more.

Poor form Chelsea… not worth the follow anymore

Wankers

No Mike Ryan & no Witty. I’m out.

I have 100% become a Chelsea fan because of this podcast. But make no mistake, it was solely because of Mike Ryan. It’s not worth the listen otherwise.

Bring him back!!

It is a betrayal not coming to terms with Mike Ryan Ruiz and Chris Wittyngham. Unsubscribed.

My wife is leaving me unless mike comes back. Thanks a lot.

I’ll change my rating when Mike Ryan actually gets to collaborate on future ventures with the club. :(

Need Mike Ryan and the fancy lad.

Better when it was a mike Ryan exclusive.

Trash without Mike. And basically stealing the name of the podcast? You’ll regret letting him go.

So sad!! Unsubscribed

You don’t get the show

I won’t listen without Mike and Chris

You’d think that loyalty would mean something but I guess it doesn’t to the blues… Very disappointed in moving away from the host that helped me pay attention to English soccer for the first time.

No Mike Ryan, no me.

No witty no Mike Ryan…no follow…I started listening and following this podcast bc I was a fan of mike and Chris not bc I loved Chelsea.

No thanks. Incredibly disappointing.
