Excellent commentator and interviewer. Never shirked from asking the tough questions.

Unlike most of the compliant, if not sycophantic commentators we are left with.

Alwase liked his style and his morning program on humberside. Haven't tuned in to Humberside since he was got rid of

Yes albeit heavily weighted to Hull, it was still a decent morning show, I haven't listened either since his departure.

I enjoyed Burnsy on the radio especially when he talked about the ire of the 'rate payers' or had people on the phone angry about skips in their street or traffic lights. Burnsy is what local radio is all about and it's a shame he's gone.

Burnsy should have declared himself trans gender or declared himself as a cat or something crackers like that , they would have kept him on job done ✅

What an unbelievable stupid thing to say. Quite remarkable as David Coleman used to say. Jesus!

Always felt like I was diving into a midlife crisis when I a) found myself listening to his show and b) nodding away furiously with him.

Enjoyed his insight into football as well. I know JT is a cult hero but I much preferred Burns' more honest style of commentating and then interviewing post-match.

Looking forward to this podcast and hearing his thoughts on what he's seen/endured from a GTFC perspective.

Really sad when Burnsy got the chop, he's the epitome of an excellent local voice speaking on our behalf about issues that matter. Can't see any way someone other than an HR bean counter could say getting rid was a good thing.

I'm not anti BBC like many, and happily pay the licence fee as think it's good value and great content, but losing voices and presences like Burnsy reflects badly on them and future direction.

Will look forward to the DN35 pod

Why was it stupid ? Burnsy doesn’t fit the criteria of a bbc employee anymore if you choose not to believe that in the words of del totter ‘ you plonker ‘

Point at a transgender or self identifying cat presenter then.

The only 'Tranny' I want to hear about is a long wheel based one.

That was a great listen. I’m sorry to lose Burns from local radio. He genuinely asked owners and managers the questions that fans wanted asking and was always happy to tell someone their reply was flannel and to have another go.

Great interview and a big loss to radio.

Interesting when he mentioned being nominated the Fishy twit of the year or whatever its called, two years in a row....i suspect for talking negative about the club/calling the club out.  Just goes to show how blinkered football fans can be about their club....

Good listen that, well worth an hour. Interesting to hear Burns reveal he’s fond of Willies, which contradicts those claiming he was given the boot because of a woke liberal agenda.

Great listen, thanks for putting it together and hope you can do another one with him at some stage as felt like plenty more to discuss. Crazy he's not still doing Radip Humbs and even though he had a good case to moan about the way he was treated, he kept it classy there. Mark of the man.

There were some great points , he even managed to keep it respectful to our former primary funder .

It was interesting how he thought the Buckley team was under appreciated in terms of crowd numbers at the time , hard to disagree . Crazy we are getting 2 or 3k more now regularly when the quality of football back then was on a different level .

Didn't know he was a sweaty by birth.

He also reminded me, us, how good a team we had under George Kerr et al and the quality of football provided by a side with so many local players. I always think back to Tom Casey and wonder if he would have proved a goof manager if we had stuck with him but always be grateful that he gave so many youngsters their chance. Along with 71/72 my favourite period watching town was that late seventies to mid eighties period.

Yes, enjoyed the interview although I was not entirely convinced at the end by the old "I only have 5% battery left, bye" trick.

To be fair his phone did make a low battery noise.
Good interview and enjoyed it.
