Don’t really post on here as it’s been the slowest moving of the social networks for TLC and we’ve found clips etc to work better on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube (so follow us there if you’re on there 🙏).
But appreciate that some people are still engaging and following here so wanted to say thanks. It’s three years now since The Late Challenge made the leap from being a conversation in Homebaked to a weekly podcast/video. And here we are still going.
That it’s still going is down to you — the people who watch, listen, comment, like, share, throw in Superchats, subscribe to the Patreon and buy us a virtual Barry’s Tea on Buy Me A Coffee.
Some of you even came to see us live. Madness.
Without you, we’d still be paying for studio time and shouting into the void — so thanks 🤩
For me (Robbo, hiya 👋🏼) it’s 18 years of talking about The Reds now, from a blog called Well Red to a fanzine of the same name, The Anfield Wrap, TLC and many other platforms.
In all that time the imposter voice is never far away — “who’s arsed?”, “you’re nearly 50”, “is this s**t?”, “what else should I be doing?” and so on. The idea of jacking it all in — including going the match — is another whack-a-mole recurring thought. And yet I’m still here, still going, still talking, still taking on the trolls 🧌
Talking… s**t, nonsense, sense, all of the above? That’s up to you to decide. But the very fact people support it keeps me going.
So yeah, a self-indulgent, off-the-top-of-the-head waffle to say thanks. It’s appreciated, it’s meant and I’ll keep on trying to make it all better.
Up The Reds ✊🏼
Robbo
