In the second episode of the new series, Ian and the gang are joined by “the real boss”, Mrs Kim Holloway, to discuss all manner of things. They discuss – among other subjects – what it’s like living with Ollie in a lockdown, how he’s been spending his Saturday afternoons since leaving football management, and whether or not he will ever return to the dugout. Ian also discusses whether he would have plastic surgery, why he won’t be going to Ashton Gate for his Covid-19 vaccination, and which two current Premier League clubs he turned down while managing Blackpool.

Ian Holloway returns to the world of podcasting, linking up with his old friends at JMP for the launch of their new ReelTalk project. In the first episode of the series, he answers questions from Twitter users and discusses a range of subjects, including which rival manager he would treat to a night out at Chasers nightclub; sharing a post-match bottle of wine with Sir Alex Ferguson; the weirdest job interview he ever had; Richard Kingson’s wife; trying to sign Jamie Vardy for Blackpool; lacking knowledge of League Two players during his ill-fated spell at Grimsby Town; Charlie Austin’s brilliance; and whether – in the words of a man calling himself Swimmer Steve – he would rather have “dicks for fingers or a finger for a dick”. Note: This episode was recorded in February 2021, before Chris Wilder left Sheffield United.

Ollie sits down with his friend and colleague, the broadcaster Colin Murray, to discuss growing up in Belfast, the time Ollie ruined Colin's whiskey club, going on stage in front of 75,000 Liverpool supporters, and why neither of them get offered any voiceover work.

Ollie answers more of your Twitter questions, including whether he'd manage in Scotland, what really went on at Plymouth Argyle, what actually happens when managers apply for jobs, and who'd play him in the film of his life.

Ollie meets up with his good friend, former team-mate and managerial adversary Tony Pulis. They discuss all manner of things, from the perceptions about Tony and whether they could have worked together despite their contrasting tactical approaches, to life in Jurassic Park and managing difficult players.

Ollie is joined by his wife, Kim, to discuss how they met, their life in and out of football, moving house 43 times and scouting trips to Hartlepool.

In a bonus podcast, Ollie sits down with Jon Parkin to discuss being late, naked wrestling, Fabio Cannavaro's dog, and how Ollie would have approached managing 'The Beast' had their paths crossed.

In his debut podcast, Ollie answers the important questions in life, such as: 'Have you ever had a fight with a player?', 'Have you ever done the washing up without any washing-up liquid?' and 'Would you rather have cheese for hands or Spam for feet?' Also contains some questions about football.
