The first weekend of the Bundesliga is concluded, and Jan Åge Fjørtoft (@JanAageFjortoft) and Markus Fjørtoft (@MarkusFjortoft) discuss the weekend's results, the return of Timo Werner, Dortmund's temporary centre-forward fix, and whether Bayerns thrashing in Frankfurt is a "problem" or not for the Bundesliga.

| A Historically Poor Bayern, But the Title is Theirs—So Why the Criticism? | 16 Feb 2025 | 00:13:53 | |
In the biggest Bundesliga clash of the season, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich played out a 0-0 draw—a result that leaves Bayern eight points clear at the top. Yet, despite securing a crucial point away to a top side, the post-match discourse has been dominated by criticism of a historically weak Bayern. Jan Åge Fjørtoft and Markus Fjørtoft discuss. Is the negativity fair? Should the focus be on Leverkusen’s dominance and wasted chances, or is it valid to question whether this level of performance is acceptable for a club of Bayern’s stature? Meanwhile, Bayern enters a pivotal month with Champions League knockout ties and Bundesliga clashes against Leverkusen, Eintracht, and Stuttgart. We break down all the narratives—Leverkusen's missed opportunity, Bayern doing what champions do, and should we expect more? 🎧 Subscribe for weekly Bundesliga insights, analysis, and exclusive discussions!

| Bayern Special w/ THE Insider Christian Falk | 22 Jul 2022 | 00:32:17 | |
Welcome to the first episode of The German Fussball Podcast with Jan Åge Fjørtoft (@JanAageFjortoft) and Markus Fjørtoft (@MarkusFjortoft)! For our first episode, we discuss all things Bayern München. Bayern's transfer window seemed to be turning into somewhat of a nightmare for the fans. No Haaland. The risk of losing Lewandowski and “no money” apparently to strengthen the team. Yes! They lost their topscorer, but they have also gotten stars such as Mané and de Ligt. Head of Sport, Salihamidžić, has done a great job and the club has shown real intent in the transfer market. We talk to THE Bayern Insider about Bayern’s change of strategy, where all the money comes from and the management's success.
