Creating a Community
Being an Aston Villa fan in Nashville, USA isn’t easy
.. most matchdays it’s just me, a screen, and the emotional roller coaster Villa put us through. 1874 is simple, honest, and feels like a real fan conversation. Dan does an exemplary job creating a Villa communityu, especially for fans following from afar. UTV

Balanced and the best
Dans the best! Never too emotional but says it how it is. Great content throughout the week. Utv. X

In Form!
1874 is the perfect mix of information about and celebration of AVFC during this dynamic period in the club’s history. It’s smart, funny, insightful, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. A must listen for both Villa fans or EPL junkies.

Best Villa pod
My favorite Villa podcast. Great statistics facts and conversation. As a US Villa fan it’s nice to feel connected to the club this way

Best Villa Pod
I live in the US and Dan’s pods are the only way for me to keep up with all things Villa related. Keep up the good work!

Best Villa podcast
Love the show Dan, always engaging and entertaining, listen to every episode from here in Los Angeles. Absolutely fried egg take from goofy Gregg Evan’s on most recent episode. If Villa win Europa league and finish 7th next year it will be the best szn in premier league era. Shocking showing from Gregg altogether (who usually is quite spot on). Hope he recovers from whatever illness took him today. Praying for him. Up the villa love you guys keep it up.

Meatiest Villa Podcast
The one Villa podcast that I never skip because of an uninteresting topic. Dan keeps the show moving with a minimum of rambling.

Great Villa pod
There’s a lot of Villa content out there but this pod has become one of my staples. Great insights, great guests - helps you feel close to the goings on at Villa park. Which is especially important when you’re across the Atlantic as I am these days! Keep up the good work Dan! UTV!

A quintessential Villa pod
Been listening to (host) Dan Bardell pods since forever, clear, clever, and informative Villa content. Balanced with solid takes across the PL. Often joined by excellent guest co-hosts “Global” Gregg Evans and Jacob Tanswell from the Athletic. UTV.

Great show BUT need to fix the Ads!
Top tier Villa podcast but the ADS are insane. 2 minutes of ads to start the show, Dan introduces the show and himself for 60 seconds and then 2 MORE MINUTES OF ADS, the first 10 minutes of the show is 6 minutes of ads, unreal. Please fix

AVFC Experts
As an American Villa supporter for over three decades, I try to be rather discerning where I receive my Aston Villa content. This is the second full season that I have listened to Dan Bardell, and his rotation of cohosts from Dave Reed to Jacob Tanswell to Gregg Evans. These gentleman know their Villa football, but they are not arrogant when sharing their knowledge. Sometimes I privately disagree on something that they say and I think to myself, “never going to happen”. Then, it happens and I realize how much they know (or how little I know). To my fellow Americans, prepare for a true Brummie accent from Dan. Thankfully, I have been to Birmingham several times and have many Brummie friends from the NY Villa club which makes it easier for me to understand.
By the way, thanks for recognizing Calum Chambers a few episodes ago. He has worked his tail off and deserves to go somewhere and be truly successful.
Keep up the great work and Up The Villa!

Solid
Much improved since less Gregg Evans and more Tanswell. More football narrative less executive narrative.

Great podcast
A great podcast for a great club!

Proper Balanced Villa View
Keeping up with Villa in America is not always easy. Dan (& guests) make me feel right at home and give a balanced view of things going on at Villa. I appreciate them uploading their YouTube shows onto here so I can consume them easier at my own leisure.

Audio Issues
I don’t know how else to contact you all but the audio issues make it super tough to listen to this. And there’s like phones vibrating and other distracting background noises like loud breathing and throat clearing…
The content is great and I really enjoy listening but with the latest one I almost had to turn it off the audio issues are so distracting.
I hope that gets fixed soon!

A host of insightful Villa Voices
Well done on a great show. Appreciate all the guests and Dan. Great episodes on social media issues, and the man u game recently (absolutely seething as well after that farce!)

Must listen for Villa fans
Dan Bardell is my favorite Villa podcaster. Bee knowledgeable about the Villa and premier league.
RC Dilan
A great listen for any Villa fan
Being a fan in the USA🇺🇸 isn’t easy for these boys have kept me entertained and informed through the dark days in the Championship and have allowed me to live through their celebrations as we fought our way back to the big time. The hosts clearly care for the club a great deal and are friends which makes for good chemistry on air and a light hearted look at everything associated with the Villa. Give it a listen, if for no other reason, than to hear about Dan’s rabbits and Tom’s lackluster hairstyles. #UTV!

A Review
Unfortunately this podcast is not about scenic views from a gorgeous villa, but I'll settle for what I've been given. Jokes aside, great podcast, especially for Villa fans like me who live in the US. Dan, Tom, and the occasional Dolan do a great job of covering all things Aston Villa and leading thoughtful discussions about everything on and off the pitch. Well done guys!

A wonderful podcast
As a Villa fan exiled in New Jersey, this podcast is a godsend. You don't hear many Brummie accents across the podcast universe, but Dan's dulcet tones bring me right back to Birmingham.
If you're a Villa fan, wherever in the B6 diaspora, you have to subscribe - it's as simple as that. Great conversation, balanced (ish) views and lots of fun at Small Heath's expense.

Great for fans in the states

Great Aston Villa podcast!
I just started following Aston Villa in 2013 and The Villa View makes me feel like I'm a real part of the fan base even though I'm in the US.

Best Villa pod!
This is without a doubt the best Villa pod by 2 blokes named Dan and Tom! At least until 2 other blokes named Dan and Tom start another. Kidding aside, this pod is great particulalry for those of us in America. It gives a real flavor for the local rabid fans of this storied club. UTV

Top Villa Podcast
Tom and Dan provide balanced analysis and commentary...a breath of fresh air from the all too common negative Twitter news feed. The Villa View is a very entertaining podcast and good listen with light-hearted banter to compliment their superior football knowledge.

Essential Listening For Villa Fans
Love seeing the Villa View expand to a podcast format. Dan is great to listen to as always, and Tom compliments him very well(a solid 6 out of 10). Keep it up, boys!
