Welcome to another episode of the Covering Liverpool: Tales From The Press Box podcast. My latest guest is Paul Machin, Redmen TV co-founder, content creator, YouTuber, presenter, pundit, published author and plenty more besides.

Covering Liverpool Episode 1: Paul Gorst talks journalism, social media scrutiny and spring rolls with Robbie Fowler

Welcome to the Covering Liverpool: Tales From The Press Box podcast. A bit different, this, as rather than delve into current (Liverpool) affairs and debate transfers, tactics, team selections and the like, I wanted to bring you a little closer to the people whose job it is to tell you about all of those things. In short, I wanted to speak to people who, like me, cover the Reds for a living. My first guest is someone I know well, and who holds one of the most prestigious and important roles - fo...
