Irish League podcast 'The Score' is a Spotify success

A radio show and podcast, which is produced in Lisburn, is in the top 10% of podcasts shared across the world on Spotify.

The Score is a programme dedicated to the Northern Ireland football scene, bringing fans closer to the key figures in the local game with in-depth interviews each week.

Recently, The Score secured a feature-length interview with the returning Northern Ireland football manager Michael O’Neill and broke its own listening records with an exclusive hour-long special with top Irish League referee Raymond Crangle.

According to figures from Spotify, The Score is also in the top 10% of shows which are followed on the streaming service across the globe.

Presenter and producer of the programme, Michael Clarke, said he is delighted with the show’s success.

"The radio show celebrated its 10th anniversary this year and these stats back the decision we took a few years ago to turn it from a general sports programme into an NI football show," said Michael.

"I am very grateful to the players, clubs and officials who support us each and every week by coming on as guests and to all of our listeners.

"This is very much a team effort and a typical NI story of an underdog punching above its weight."

The Score is broadcast every Friday at 1pm on Lisburn ’s 98FM, Bangor FM and FM105 in Downpatrick.

You can follow the show across all streaming services and @thescoreni on social media.
