Summary

The days of waiting to pick up a copy of the ECHO to find out the latest Liverpool transfer news have long gone.The internet changed that and, for our latest Anfield+ podcast, hosted by Paul Wheelock and featuring Joe Rimmer, Sean Bradbury and ECHO old boy Greg O’Keeffe, we lift the curtain to reveal how we cover the Reds in the social media age.Particular emphasis is placed on transfers and why the Nabil Fekir saga encapsulated the ‘head-spinning’ nature of the modern-day deal.Joe, Sean and Greg also offer an insight into what it is like being a reporter on transfer deadline day and why the arrival of Andy Carroll at Anfield moments before the 2011 January window shut was a precursor for things to come.That leads Joe, Sean and Greg into examining how social media has changed the relationship and dynamic between the ECHO and supporters – and the clubs we cover, too.It’s a fascinating listen.
