A Leeds United podcast has been nominated for the Best Sport accolade at the British Podcast Awards.

LS11 is a weekly football podcast, hosted by Leeds Trinity University journalism lecturer Darren Harper and Ryan Wilson of the Leeds band The Pigeon Detectives. Recorded and filmed at the university, the show features guests from the world of football, with Leeds Trinity students involved in production, editing and promotion on social media.

The hosts were recently joined by former Leeds United goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, to discuss the club’s current performance and personal anecdotes from his footballing career including the infamous halfway line goal from Manchester United’s David Beckham in 1996, against Sullivan who played for Wimbledon.

The LS11 Podcast faces competition from Formula 1, James Richardson and Graham Hunter, with the likes of Chris Moyles, George Ezra and Katie Piper nominated in other categories.

Darren Harper, said: “Both myself and Ryan are a bit stunned and overwhelmed about being nominated. It’s a huge honour, to be talked about in the company of these other ‘big’ podcasts. Who knew that two blokes and a guest chatting about Leeds United would do so well?”

The awards take place in London on May 18.
