Progress With Unity Podcast #197: Preston and QPR reviews, Forest preview

Hello; I am not your small time flavour text writer. He can not be with you this week as he is currently under investigation by the BPB (British Pie Board) for irregularities regarding pre-match pastries. He is said to have advocated Galloways over the obviously superior Hollands, a claim he outright refutes. But following his role in the Penguins in the fridge incident of 2016, such accusations must be investigated.

I have been told to 'write something silly' in his absence, but my nature forbids such foolishness. Hence, the following timecodes have been written by that friendly robotic chap Google Timecode once more.

Have a nice day, pie-munchers.

Progress With Unity Podcast #196: Fulham and Wolves reviews, Preston and QPR previews

Evenings suck. I have no idea why anyone would record a podcast after 7PM, let alone host a football match. It's dark, cold and everyone has gone home to watch repeats of Hammydale or Botheration Street.

PWU (or at least your flavour text writer) is wholly in favour of the Wigan Post's decision to drop 'evening' from its name. Not due to the above, but because this local publication now appears to be named after the South Stand goalpost Charles N'Zogbia struck as he netted the winner against Arsenal that time.

See, I told you it was a football paper all along!

Progress With Unity Podcast #173: QPR review, transfer deadline day

Wigan Athletic v Queens Park Rangers: an exercise in splitting the happy clappers from the doom mongers; a Floydian exercise in sturdy defensive sensibilities; an exercise in Caldwellian (im)patience.

Transfer Deadline Day: an exercise in extreme showmanship; an exercise in dodgy ties and even dodgier haircuts; an exercise in glorification of the utterly mundane (raises hand).

International break: An exercise in having to spend your Saturday making up silly rumours to amuse yourself; an exercise in wondering why Alex Witsel wants Marouane Fellaini's haircut.

PWU: An exercise in futility?

UNTRUSTED SOURCES: This podcast may soon be renamed the V**** W**** Podcast.

Progress With Unity Podcast #88: QPR Playoff review, end of season musings

(c)Kenta Cho/Bayo

Game over, man, gaaame ooover! What, just like that? One minute you're embroiled in a heated Championship playoff tie, the next you're planning the following month's summer trip to Wigan Beach. Sudden death football has a horrible habit of curtailing your podcast's season like that.

So to PWU 2014 swansong (as opposed to Jean song), the final episode of this campaign. But we shall see you in the summer for the World Cup Special! 'Til then, sayonara.

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Rob, Dan and Paul T

Progress With Unity Podcast #87: Blackburn review, QPR playoffs preview

(c)Keitei at Wikipedia

Please welcome a brand new addition to the Progress With Unity Podcast team, one Ali 'Ballet' Al Habsi. You may well have heard of him - he's the guy that escorts chickens from Ewood Parks in his spare time. He's also going to be keeping two clean sheets on Friday and Monday... we hope.

Right, I think it's time to dive shoulders-deep into the mud, don't you?

In the studio this week: Barry, Gareth, Rob, Dan, Mick and Paul T (and Ali Al H)

Progress With Unity Podcast #81: Watford and QPR reviews, Bolton and Leicester previews

Pic (c)ArtNow314/Illarterate

So the unbeaten run has ended. We must all pack our respective items and head into the gloom of summer mediocrity once more, for Wigan's season is now surely over.

Hah, not on your nelly! Got that Wembley coach trip booked yet? Good, because you'll need to sort another two before May is out. Oh yes, and we are staying up, I said we are staying up.

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Rob, Dan, Mick and Paul T

Progress With Unity Podcast #80: Ipswich and Yeovil reviews, Watford and QPR previews

Uh oh, is that the Latics emergency ambulance approaching? I wonder who's on the club doctor's ever-growing waiting list this week - perhaps one of the many supporters wounded by wayward shots? Perhaps Uwe hurt his foot kicking the changing room wall after a last-minute goal from Yeovil robbed Latics of a ninth straight victory? And will I ever end a sentence without a question mark? Answer: nope.

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Rob, Dan, Mick and Paul T

Progress With Unity Podcast #61: Ed Jones Interview Special

It's interview time again! Somehow, the Progress With Unity Podcast has managed to con Wigan Athletic Head of Media Ed Jones into participating in an informal chat about setting cars afire, Peppa Pig and househunting with Svetoslav Todorov. Really.

Chatting with Ed Jones: Barry and Dan

PWU40: The Big Pre-Wembley Bash (and the QPR game, maybe)

Here it is, the edition you've all been waiting for! The Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast is 40 episodes old, and what better way to celebrate than a jolly boys' outing down to London? Around the table this week are enough guests to make a football team (granted, with a man or three sent off), and there is plenty of jovial light-heartedness. And why not? Wembley beckons...

On this week's edition: Barry, Dan, Gareth, Rob, Mick, Paul T, Paul K, Greg and Ray Mathias(!)

Progress With Unity Podcast #39 - Norwich review, QPR preview

A rather chirpy edition of the Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast this week, in more ways than one. But enough potentially tenuous canary puns and on to business as usual before the inevitable pre-Wembley madness that's bound to escalate in the coming days. Among the burning questions: would a Latics win end QPR's fight for survival?

In the studio this week: Barry, Rob, Greg, Paul T, Gareth and Dan
