Not The Top 20 Podcast

Not The Top 20 Podcast
The #1 podcast about the Football League (EFL) from George Elek and Ali Maxwell. Twice nominated for the FSF Awards 'Best Podcast', since 2016 Not The Top 20 Podcast has been dedicated to providing insightful, passionate, detailed coverage of the Championship, League One and League Two, with the Monday Podcast recapping the weekend, and the Betting Show providing carefully considered picks ahead of the weekend. NTT20 Pod's success has led to over 100 TV appearances for George and Ali, on Sky Sports and EFL on Quest, plus radio appearances on BBC Radio 5 Live. A community of EFL lovers has been established through NTT20 Squad, and the launch of NTT20.COM in 2023 provided written EFL coverage to match the podcast.
