It was hard supporting my wife & daughter in hospital, still needing to work|TAOF Podcast|Geo Mackie

In this episode TAOF Podcast's Kev chats to Geo Mackie, the legendary co-founder of the hugely popular West Ham United fan YouTube channel ‪@HammersChat‬, who talks about how, despite being born and raised in Aberdeen, he became a lifelong Hammers fan and his early experiences of travelling up and down the country supporting them alongside his dad. Geo also talks about the origins of the Hammers Chat You Tube channel alongside his partner in crime Gonzo and also the highs and lows of being a content creator and the effects it's had on the pair of them over the years. He also candidly opens up to Kev regarding the challenges that arose for both himself and his wife (Mrs Geo) regarding the birth of their daughter and her subsequent health issues, whilst still having to earn a living and keeping the wolves at bay creating social media content at the same time. There's plenty more discussed as well, including his thoughts on the ownership merry-go-round that's currently happening at West Ham! Also we have a bonus performance at the end of the podcast by indie pop rockers 'The Displacements' (@the.displacements) who perform their latest single 'Bring Me Back', so check out them as well as our full and exclusive interview with Geo only here on ‪@theaof_podcast‬ !
