Where to start with Talking Shrimpers on YouTube

← All news

News · podcast

Match reviews, former-player interviews, Best XI debates and bonus shows are available on the official Talking Shrimpers YouTube channel.

Start with the conversation you want

Some weeks call for a proper match debrief. Others are better spent listening to a former Shrimper remember the people, places and dressing rooms that shaped a career. The Talking Shrimpers YouTube channel makes room for both.

The official channel brings together the video side of the show: Southend United match discussion, interviews, Best XI debates, live broadcasts and bonus programmes that wander into the wider football world. It is the simplest place to see what is available to watch now.

Three good ways into the channel

For the week-to-week story, begin with a match episode. These shows work through the latest Southend result, look towards the next fixture and make space for the Ladies team, the Academy and supporter voices.

For a longer listen, try one of the interviews or The Debate: Best XI programmes. Steve Tilson, Adam Barrett, Darryl Flahavan, Ricky Otto and Duncan Jupp are among the former players who have sat down with the podcast to revisit their Southend years.

For something different, the channel also carries live matchday material and World Cup bonus shows. Those episodes have brought together club figures, former players and Shrimpers following football from well beyond Essex.

What is available now

YouTube changes whenever a video is added, updated or removed, so visit the channel for its current line-up. The latest-upload feed provides a rolling window rather than a permanent inventory.

The Episodes page on this site gives each listed show its own page and a direct YouTube link. Browse by title, choose one and jump straight to the video.

Choose the conversation that sounds right, settle in and see where the Shrimpers take it. If you want future uploads in your YouTube subscriptions, the official handle is @talkingshrimperspodcast.
