The presenters are warming up, management are giving their final team talk, and the whistle is ready to be blown on STV Radio’s first-ever visual podcast… The STV Radio Football Show, a riotous weekly deep dive into the world of Scottish football, launches on Monday 27 October.

Two of the beautiful game’s most recognisable Scottish voices will get together every week to catch up on the weekend that was. Ewen Cameron, one half of STV Radio’s new breakfast show presenting duo, will be joined by seasoned STV Sport journalist – and old pal – Ronnie Charters.

Ewen is well-known among Scottish football fans for his passionate, unfiltered takes on the latest developments in the game, while quick-witted Ronnie is always ready and willing to stir the pot. What could possibly go wrong? Producer Callum Bell will be on hand to keep the lads in check…

Every Monday, Ewen and Ronnie will pore over all the biggest talking points from the weekend – from which team won the bragging rights, to the most controversial referee calls. They’ll also look ahead to major upcoming games, whether it’s a local derby or World Cup Qualifiers, with help from fans and special guests across the country.

Ewen Cameron said: “I know that every Monday morning, millions of football fans across Scotland wake up and go: ‘I wonder what Ewen Cameron thought of that shocking tackle at the weekend?’ Well, wonder no more – just check your podcast feed!

“I’m absolutely buzzing to join Ronnie on The STV Radio Football Show and bring listeners our no-holds-barred commentary on the game we all love. Ronnie’s apparently an experienced sports journalist with lots of informed and intelligent opinions. Aye, we’ll see about that…”

Ronnie Charters said: “Get ready for a fresh take on all things Scottish football! I can’t wait to get going with the team, although I don’t know what I did in a previous life to deserve Ewen Cameron as my podcast partner.

“Scottish football is the gift that keeps on giving and The STV Radio Football Show will be the place to be for a laugh and some healthy debate at the start of the week. And please feel free to get in touch to tell Ewen how rotten his opinions are – in fact, it’s encouraged!”

The STV Radio Football Show, a visual podcast, launches on Monday 27 October and will be available weekly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and STV Player, with highlights shared across STV Radio’s social channels.

The podcast is sponsored by CR Smith, Scotland’s leading home improvement manufacturer and installer.

Gareth McCluskey, Marketing Director at CR Smith, said: “We obviously have a long-standing history with sport in Scotland with the original Rangers and Celtic sponsorship and more recently our sponsorship of STV Sport news. We are delighted to join the winning team that is Ewen and Ronnie.”

STV Radio, Scotland’s new mainstream music station aimed at 35+ year olds, launches in the coming months with an unmissable new breakfast show hosted by Ewen Cameron and Cat Harvey.
