Show topics from this Jan. 27 episode ranged from Brentford's frustrating performance against Nottingham Forest, to a challenging road trip upcoming against Aston Villa, and much more.
Forever Bees is always looking for new Brentford guests to share their fandom stories and knowledge. If you're interested, contact us, or email Tim directly at timsearls@hotmail.com!
Alison delved into how she became a Brentford supporter when she moved to New York City, and of course she spoke about the team's strong stretch of play with co-hosts Tim Searls and Greville Waterman.
We appreciate all these opportunities to join the Forever Bees crew! If any other supporters (in NYC or elsewhere) are interested in joining the show, please reach out and we'd be happy to facilitate any appearance!
Abhi had multiple appearances on Forever Bees during the 2024-25 season, as well. He spoke about all things Brentford with Tim Searls and Greville Waterman, and gave a little shout-out to our group's heavy dose of meet-ups in Greenwich Village, especially in light of the team's success with a Carabao Cup run.
As always, thanks to the show and our supporters for taking part in this American-based Brentford podcast. Please reach out to us if you're a Brentford fan who'd love to share your fan story and club knowledge on this very laid-back and informative show!
The crew discussed the team's strong run during the May 6 show, and subsequently Brentford would go on to post its first four-game winning streak in the Premier League!
The Forever Bees show marked our group's fifth appearance during the 2024-25 season. If anybody stateside is interested in joining the podcast in 2025-26, please let us know as it has become a staple of talking Brentford football and also introducing folks to the fans backing this wonderful club!
Abhi was then invited back as Tim's sidekick for the Feb. 18 episode to discuss the win over West Ham and Brentford's matchup against Leicester. Abhi and wife Alison Roberts were also on the Don't Know Much About Football podcast earlier this season, so it's great to see our NYC Brentford supporters expanding their media outreach!
If anyone wants to participate in the plethora of shows out there, contact us anytime and we'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
Topics ranged from the club's play, to the January Transfer Window chatter, to a recently banned piece of apparel at our NYC pub, The Red Lion! Hope you enjoy!
Harder is the third person among our NYC fanbase to join the American-based podcast, joining Levar Riley and Charlie Corr among the show participants. Check out Adam's story!
If anyone else would like to connect with Searls and Waterman, please reach out and we'd be happy to connect you to them for a future episode.
U.S. supporters have regularly participated on Searls' program as he regularly ties in our local fandom with commentary about the Bees. NYC Bees co-founder Charlie Corr has been on the show several times, and Levar Riley was our group's first participant on the show.
A big thanks to Tim for what he and Greville Waterman have done with this show. We'll certainly continue to participate in this podcast down the road.
The podcast has featured New York-based fans prevalently over the past two and a half seasons, with Corr providing his perspective for a third time. Searls is based in Maine and Waterman in the UK, and Waterman has written a bevy of Brentford material over the years.
Searls has been a strong advocate of promoting the growing number of American Bees supporters, particularly the NYC Bees and The Red Lion, which he mentioned again here. The opening of this pod just serves as a reminder to reach out to him as we collectively promote our fandom and respective watch events in the various markets stateside.
