Why do some Spurs fans immediately reach for a podcast after a loss but others avoid them completely? In this episode, I unpack the psychology of post-defeat listening and why Tottenham Hotspur supporters turn to podcasts when results go wrong.

I break fans into distinct post-match listening types and explore what each group is really looking for after another tough result. Along the way, I examine the pros and cons of different Spurs podcast styles: instant reactions vs. next-day analysis, emotional venting vs. level-headed breakdowns, and fan catharsis vs. football journalism.

Finally, I offer listening recommendations tailored to your habits, mood, and tolerance level after a defeat. Whether you need validation, perspective, humour, or just someone else to suffer alongside, this episode helps you find the right Spurs podcast for the moment. Because supporting Tottenham is hard enough without choosing the wrong post-loss listen.
