The Late Challenge Podcast
A podcast and video show with Gareth Roberts and Mo Stewart that challenges news, views and hot topics in the world of current affairs, football and sport in a no-nonsense manner.
It's some Liverpool FC, some general football, and a bit of whatever else takes our fancy really.
We react to traditional media, online media and social media. It's a laugh, good fun and includes lighter features. We don't take things too seriously, but sometimes serious points are made. We involve our audience, interact with watchers and listeners, and include letters, emails and live comments wherever possible.
