NYC Bees appearance: Breaking Bread ahead of Brentford v Man City

We enter our third season as the go-to Brentford source on the Shades of Blue Network. Ahead of the Brentford v. Manchester City match on Oct. 5, NYC Bees co-founder Charlie Corr joined this Man City-specific podcast to catch up on the channel's latest Breaking Bread episode.

• Shades of Blue Network: Breaking Bread with Charlie Corr

Hosted by Crunk Chocolate, we spent an hourlong stretch catching up on the massive overhaul that Brentford went through heading into 2025-26, from new manager Keith Andrews, to some of the key transfers we made in the summer.

Shades of Blue's Breaking Bread series is a Patreon exclusive segment, but the first 10 minutes of our conversation is available for free. Check it out!

We'll likely rejoin the podcast in May, when Brentford travels to Manchester.

Shades of Blue's Breaking Bread Preview: Brentford v Manchester City

NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr spoke with the Shades of Blue podcast in mid-January as part of a preview for Brentford-Manchester City. The Breaking Bread show, hosted by Crunk Chocolate, has become a staple of our podcast drop-ins over the past couple seasons.

The first 15 minutes of the Breaking Bread show are free. Shades of Blue is making some of their programming exclusive, so check out their Patreon for more of their content!

Preview: Brentford at Man City, on Shades of Blue's 'Breaking Bread'

For a second straight season, we're previewing Brentford matches against Manchester City on the Shades of Blue "Breaking Bread" show. NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr connected with Crunk Chocolate and Lando Martinez to talk about the Bees. Topics included the big matchup, Brentford's transfer window grade, some individual season picks on who will have a strong season for the Bee, and the aspects of what have made Brentford a difficult matchup against Man City.

The program was a build-up toward the Sept. 14 match, which resulted in a 2-1 Man City victory -- the correct score prediction from our Brentford guest.

Guest Appearance: Brentford End of Season Report with Shades of Blue

NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr reconnected with the Shades of Blue podcast for a special Brentford End of Season Report episode. The interview aired on July 12 (was recorded shortly after the season), and it featured an assortment of grading assignments, ranging from the players and coaches, to even the Brentford kits -- an appropriate opportunity to discuss the Bees' dreadful two-season performance in the secondary blue kit!

On behalf of the NYC Bees, we wanted to thank Shades of Blue host Crunk Chocolate for allowing us the platform to discuss our club in-depth. The podcast is an America-based Manchester City outlet.

We will look to connect with them again soon throughout the 2024-25 campaign!

Guest Appearance: NYC Bees return to Shades of Blue to preview City

For the second time in a couple weeks, NYC Bees Co-Founder Charlie Corr represented Brentford FC and the NYC Bees during the live Shades of Blue show, "Breaking Bread," hosted by Crunk Chocolate. The two supporters, who were part of the Premier League FanFest series throughout the 2023-24 season, spoke about the upcoming rematch between Brentford and Manchester City on Feb. 20.

This discussion included a nice range of Brentford topics, from the club's affinity toward manager Thomas Frank to the blueprint for posting a strong result against City.

Corr and the NYC Bees will likely be represented one more time this season for another show within the Shades of Blue production, so stay tuned in the coming weeks.
