Progress With Unity Podcast #117: Charlton and Cardiff reviews, Blackpool and Norwich previews

I don't like this month's pre-occupation with a certain unlucky number. We just had Friday 13th and there are 13 league games to save Wigan's Championship season. I ate thirteen Holland's pies at last night's game and have taken precisely 13 trips to the bathroom since 1300 hours.

On the other hand, thirteen is my father's lucky number, and he's also a Wigan Athletic supporter. On that basis, I reckon we can expect 13 wins between now and 13 May 2015. Hey, this Championship stuff is easy, isn't it?

Progress With Unity Podcast #116: Reading review, Charlton & Cardiff previews

Welcome back from the PWU-designated February holidays! I hope you had a Happy Friday 13th and not a single bloke in a ski mask slashed you across the chest with a large blade.

If anything, this has been a fortuitous time for lucky Latics, who finally managed to scrape three points from a one-pointer for the first time since last year. I know that's only two months ago, but eight weeks is a long time to be skulking around Kenny Loggins' relegation zone.

Where's Wally-style task for this week's show: spot the negativity and win 13 smashed mirrors delivered to your door by black cats.

Progress With Unity Podcast #93: Charlton and Cardiff review, Blackpool preview

Sometimes you just have to let off some steam, something inside you that's been building up for hours. Ever since you had that curry for tea, in fact. OK, I apologise for being so infantile, but after a hard week watching Latics, nothing beats going to work on a Saturday... wait, did I get those the wrong way round? Probably not.

Progress With Unity Podcast #92: Reading and Burton Albion reviews, Charlton and Cardiff previews

May these bananas represent Wigan's thus yet unripe team.

You join us smack bang in the middle of a Latics partybus tour! From Burton, we now head on down to London then Cardiff on our summer tour of the country, so care to join us? We're aiming to test out the pies of each and every motorway burger stand en route... and there's some football in there as well, I think. I dunno, the Progress With Unity team usually deal with that sort of thing - I'm just the (poor) copywriter.

Progress With Unity Podcast #74: Charlton review, Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday previews

Tch, flipping typical. As the Progress With Unity 'casters emerged from the team coach to record this latest edition, irate passers-by cast rotten fruit in their general direction. See, Dan, this is what happens when you correctly predict a scoreline! Oh dear, the streams have been crossed...

If you aren't a fan of semi-obscure references, let's just say you probably won't want another hot dog after listening to this episode. At the very least, be sure to finish your tea first.

Progress With Unity Podcast #73: Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough review, Charlton preview

I had been searching my local supermarket for this new-fangled liquid football Alan Partridge keeps talking about, sadly to no avail. Turns out all I had to do was head down to the DW Stadium on Saturday for the Palace game. Ah-haaah!

Also this week, the 'Boro game is briefly discussed, while the coming weekend's feast of footy is given significant column inches. Or, in the case of the PWU Podcast, airtime.

Waitaminute... that's *Bobby* in the picture - wrong Charlton! I need to pay more attention during these podcasts.

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #60: Blackpool review, Rubin Kazan and Charlton previews

Following a less-than-satisfactory day by the seaside, the Progress With Unity Podcast team bemoan their inability to rent a donkey on Blackpool beach before powering through a couple of high profile match previews. Or so the final edit would suggest... if you ever attend one of our recording sessions, you'll know it's a lot more chaotic than that.

Ne'er mind, for Europe beckons once more. To the DW- er, Wigan Athletic Stadium!
