Decimated by man flu and fallout from (admittedly muted) Boxing Day celebrations, the Progress With Unity team crawl wearily back to the studio, aspirin in hand, for a bit of post-Xmas musing. Excuse the occasionally clipped, slurred speech as we frequently had to be revived with piping hot tea and whisky just to make it…
Festive greetings, podcasters! Recent bad results (and referees) got you down? Not to worry, settle down with a container of your favourite beverage –lukewarm or cold– and enjoy this, the Progress With Unity Christmas Quiz. It’s a bumper 50-minute special with 25 questions to tax the most ardent of Wigan supporters, but you don’t have…
As the predicted end of all human civilisation –henceforth to be known as ‘The Massacre of the DW‘– rapidly approaches, the Progress With Unity team reconvene to scrutinise another slightly disappointing weekend over a Christmas whisky or two. Spirits are quickly raised, however, by breaking news that the Boxing Day bananas will be allowed entry…
In a shameless effort to rope in more listeners, the PWU Podcast has gone all Talksport on us and started rustling a few jimmies. Admittedly this mostly amounts to taking the mick out of Phil Dowd’s luncheon arrangements*, but there are one or two other mildly ‘controversial’ statements thrown in for good measure. See if…
Oh dear, it seems Wigan’s second string defence wasn’t the only thing exposed this week. The atmosphere became a tad rowdy in the PWU studio yesterday evening when a very brave (or stupid) guest popped in for a ‘look Mum, I’m on the telly’ moment. Except this wasn’t telly, or even radio for that matter….
After the rip-roaring success of the PWU Podcast‘s previous on location edition, it would have been daft not to wheel the portable studio (pictured) down to Robin Park for Wigan’s next midweek home game. Every other broadcasting company this side of the River Dougie (or is it the River Pye?) had a plush catering tent…
It isn’t pleasant to lose, but at least it gives you plenty to discuss in the pub afterwards. This week’s PWU Podcast comes not from the local boozer, but its regular location somewhere East of (Nicky) Eden where the Springfield Tree grows. On Barry’s big bad list this week is an eclectic mix more varied…
Perhaps the Progress With Unity Podcast‘s most appealing factor is its participants’ tendency to embark upon journeys of nostalgia that lead to endless tales of seasons past. Of course, you could class this as a drawback (particularly where editing is concerned), but isn’t that why football exists? So we can ramble on for hours about…
Following last week’s acclaimed on location edition, the PWU Podcast returns to the plush surroundings of its Beech Hill studio for an altogether warmer episode – in more ways than one. But enough about the Bradford game, because that’s ancient history now. Joining the team to discuss a very fruitful weekend are Paul Kendrick and…
By now, you know exactly what I think of Tuesday night‘s Halloween fancy dress party, so we shall move on. It has been two days, after all. Next up in the Premier League is the ghastly prospect of Tottenham Hotspur, and this week’s PWU Podcast preview comes live from a mizzly Dee Dubya. Witch team…
This week, the PWU Podcast team bring you a special ‘attempting not to tempt fate‘ edition. As you may know, the happy Hammers are in town this weekend, and will no doubt be intent on exacting revenge for the consequences of our last league meeting. Then, before we’ll have had time to even catch our…
Lacklustre international performances got you down? Never fear, for the 13th edition of the PWU Podcast –complete with yours truly– is back to preview the next chunk of the domestic season. Sort of. You see, we didn’t want to harp on about the injury woes of an international break because that’s been more than covered…
