"Good evening, Bristolers. I am reporting live from Norwich, on the border with Hulton just outside wig gone.

"Sorry, did my audio just become garbled there, Geoff? I'm pointing my phone in the erection of Winter Hill now... is matt any better?

"Wight. Let's continue with this week's ablution of the pro Gresty Road post cat. I reckon-"

Oh dear, we seem to have lost our flavour text writer. Let's hope we never get him back.

This week's podcast is hosted by Dan as we look back at the Crewe game, a draw! Is that all we can manage against the bottom of the league! (tongue firmly in cheek)

Gareth gives us the stats from the game and Si gives us the 'off the terrace' report.

Dan, Si and Barry all attended the latest Latics FAB meeting with Jonathan Jackson and 'others', there is a report though we do get a little bogged down on the topic of the Premier League TV cash deal.

We look forward to the visit of Port Vale, Paul takes a look at what made Burslem famous, there is ref watch and the predictions round.

We finish off with a little bit of transfer talk, just a little bit.

Contents: Intros with the Real Slim Barry (0:00); Crewe review with Dinner Dinner Statman (1:30) and Si's Off The Terrace report (2:50), shot shy [but not Yanic] (5:00), 'complacency is a disease' (9:50), closing the gap to 2nd (14:50) and Barry's free ticket bonanza (18:00); Fantastic And Brilliant Fans Advisory Board (19:55) including WAFC Walking Football League (22:30), [hopefully] parachuting into the Championship & financial unfair play (23:40) and the great goal music divide (34:50); Port Vale preview with Paul's drinking hole scouting report (38:00), Si's Oddschecker (43:45) and suitably overconfident predictions (44:35); token transfer window talk (47:50)

Progress With Unity Podcast #152: Chesterfield review, Crewe preview

Look, I know we just picked up seven points from nine at home. I know we just saw fifteen goals, all of them amazing in their own special way.

But I'd prefer to just forget everything that has gone and look forward to the final part of the season, OK? All these comebacks are making the hairs on my arms fall out, and I need those to look like Bruce Willis in my 80s tank top.

So Wigan Athletic, for the sake of my yak-like hairiness, keep scoring three goals a game until May 2016.

Thanks,
Guy That Writes The Flavour Text That Nobody Ever Reads

We are joined in the studio this week by Dianne as we look back to the win over Chesterfield at the weekend.

The Latics completed their second double of the season and scored three goals against our opponents for the second time this campaign, Two absolute stunners, especially Max Power's thunderbolt.

Rob took part in the half-time challenge, a bit disappointed with the change of prizes but the lad did ok.

Transfer Watch – we're linked with a move for a keeper and apparently there has been a £1million bid for one of our players by a Championship club.

We have a look ahead to the Crewe game and Si gives us the latest odds. We finish off with news about the upcoming FAB meeting at the DW Stadium.

Progress With Unity Podcast #151: Gillingham and Sheff Utd reviews, Chesterfield preview

You want to see the table? Well, here it is...

Don't look at the table, it'll only make you nervous. I said don't do it! And while you're at it, forget all those other teams in this division too. And the other divisions.

Aaaah, don't you feel better now? Good, you can enjoy the football of a Saturday afternoon without worrying if you'll make the playoffs or finish 24th out of 24. Now you can relax and savour soccer for the spectacle it really is.

Sigh... I remember when the FA Cup used to do to that for us.

*Wipes tear from eye*

*Takes swig from '2013 FA Cup Winners' mug*

Two games two great comebacks, one full of joy, the other...well!

We have a quick look back to the Gillingham game before really getting stuck into the performance against Sheffield United at the DW Stadium.

Some really inept performances, game won, or so we thought, foot off the gas then it implodes, deary me.

Transfer Watch – Yanic is in, Mick gives us his surprising thoughts on our new boy. Big news on the street is that Reece Wabara is set to join, right wing back from Barnsley. On the way out Rich O'Donnell, Don Cowie, Louis Robles and Adam Anson

Progress With Unity Podcast #150: Fleetwood and Scunthorpe, Gillingham and Sheffield United

Tonight's shoutout is directed squarely at the Great British weather, which, in the spirit of neo-punk, continues to make a mockery of the Football League's fixture selection! Yaah, go raaain!

Thankfully, plenty of precipitation is prophecised for the next couple of weeks. This means I can cool down my season ticket, which will be pretty close to melting point after being swiped through the DW turnstiles thrice in the space of nine days.

I suggest you visit the toilet *before* listening to this week's edition of the PWU Podcast, because we rattle through a whole year's worth of topics in the space of 45 minutes. Hey, the last episode was aaaaall the way back in 2015, so there's much more to cover than usual!

(And I know I use that joke every year, but hopefully you forgot by now...)

A new year same old podcast, yes we are back for 2016 with renewed optimism.

A full house this evening plus special guest Liam Sephton, editor of the Latics fanzine 'All Gone Latics'.

We start off with a look back at both the Fleetwood and Scunthorpe games, Simon has 'off the terrace' reports for both matches.

Sad news surrounding the death of former Latics player Steve Gohouri, we recall some happy memories of his time at the club.

Transfer Watch – Dan Lavercombe is first through the door, will Yanic follow, it appears likely, anyone else? Possibilities are discussed.

We have a look ahead to the Gillingham and Sheffield United games with news of a relocation for the Supporters Club and a chance to win EASports games for your Xbox, I don't have one, stuck with a PS3 and a broken PS2!

Progress With Unity Podcast Best of 2015/16 Season Part I

Yeah, we know there's some football going on. We know we should be making podcasts about it and drawing the ire of Latics pundits/fans the world over. But since we're roasting our chestnuts on Barry's open fire, we are in no state to present such an offering at this time. 

As a form of apology, please accept this, the first of a four part special looking back on the 2015/16 season at PWU. Part 2 will arrive soon enough, while 3 and 4 will be along in time for your summer holidays. I haven't edited those yet... in fact, we haven't recorded a single thing for them to date. But rest assured, I will and we will!

But for now, a Happy New Year to all.

Oh, Merry New Winterval! As the Book Cycle Studios are locked down this week, we are unable to bring you your regularly scheduled episode of the PWU Podcast.

Do not despair, however, as we have prepared for such an eventuality. Just in case you missed any episodes from the 2015/16 season, we have pasted together a Denis Norden-esque collection of mildly memorable clips and quips to help you catch up. Because we know it can be difficult trawling through almost 20 editions in search of those you forgot to download.

Just how accurate are the panellists’ pre-season predictions at the campaign’s halfway point? What was Manny Flores feeding his son the night before he scored his first competitive goal? And why did the deplorable Phil Dowd ruin Paul’s Christmas?

I’m sure you’d rather know the answers to those questions than hear us whine about the Fleetwood game, eh?

Part two coming next week. Parts three and four to come in the summer of 2016.Add a description here.

Contents - Intro to the new season (0:00), Holtmaster hopes (0:30) and predictions for 2015/16 (1:50);Coventry stadium review (4:30); ‘Friday Night’ Bury review with added milk (5:35); Smashin’ It: live from the Scunthorpe game (8:30) with a titillating Jiggling-ham story (11:00); Dan’s Crewe-cial preview (13:00); favourite Latics eras (14:30); Transfer Deadline Day dealings (19:10); who’s impressed so far (23:30); Port Vale flying steward (28:35); Mick’s infamous Fleetwood preview, mostly uncut (30:00); Manny Flores interview (37:35); Phil Dowd Ruined My Christmas (43:30); “we’re s***, we were better in the Prem” (45:20); Don’t you remember? We beat Man City (48:00)
