PWU Podcast Special: Interview with Aussie Latic Craig Fillingham
G’day, mates! It’s all fine and dandy for us Wiganers that reside a relative fish and chip wrapper’s throw from that hub of all Latics activity, the DW Stadium. But now we’re back in England’s third division, spare a thought for the exiled fan living thousands of miles away on some remote island named after […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 131: Pandora’s Box
Wow, would you believe it’s… (looks at watch) …Friday evening already? But before you pack your baked bean sandwiches for tomorrow’s visit to Gillingham, we have another of those ‘live from the DeeDub with added background noise’ editions you all love so much. Following Mick’s praise of the Wigan Athletic hospitality ‘system’, we were gifted […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 130: Slurred gratification
“No! I will not sit around and wait until Wigan get better. I want us to play well now, yesterday and the day after tomorrow. Only victory shall suffice, and anything else is a sackable offence. Must… win… nooowww…” Okay, calm down there, inner monologue… oh dear, looks like I’ve been playing far too much […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 129: Friendly persuasion
This summer, I decided it was time for a change. Instead of scrutinising behind closed doors friendlies in minute detail, I will save my excitement for the start of the league season – there are, after all, six games scheduled for the next three weeks. I figure it is better to pace yourself than blow […]

Pies, prophecies and postman puns: 100 episodes of the PWU Podcast
This article first appeared in All Gone Latics 01, October 2014. I wasn’t at Sharpy’s Restaurant back in July 2012, when the Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast was first pitched to Vital Latics webmaster Barry Worthington. His moderately popular web radio show ‘Latics Speyk’ had recently disappeared from the internet in mysterious circumstances, restoring […]

Progress With Unity Podcast Special: False starts and bloopers reel
OK, I’ll admit we haven’t been the chirpiest bunch this year… or at least, that’s the way it might seem. It is hoped that this week’s podcast, the second in a series of summertime specials with free bucket and spade, will prove that it hasn’t all been serious business down at Studio PWU. In truth, […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 128: Emmerson Boyce exclusive interview summer special… pullout poster inside!
Stop right there, dear reader! Sorry to interrupt your hard-earned first ice cream of the summer, but we thought you might want to hear this. Progress With Unity has returned for our traditional close season special complete with socks ‘n’ sandals and sand in your swimming trunks. Except we hope this isn’t *quite* as excruciating […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 127: The Boyce are here to entertain you
Surprise! I bet you never expected the PWU team to organise something as large scale as an Emmerson Boyce tribute night at the North Stand Marquee. There again, it’s really just a slightly expanded podcast… with 500 attendees and added celebrity guests. And of course, the big man himself, the Barbadian international legend, the Joseph’s […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 126: An ode to sweet obscurity
Ah, cheer up! Far better teams than Wigan Athletic have slipped through the divisions after tasting the sweetest of glories – remember when Manchester United completely vanished, only to re-appear at the bottom of the league ladder? Wait, waddaya mean that was FC United, a completely different team? So you’re saying Man United still exist? […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 125: Don’t leave me hanging
To continue the theme established in last week’s podcast (to the tune of Johnny Cash’s 25 Minutes to Go), Latics’ death sentence has been halted… for now. The executioner has been momentarily distracted by a lone voice from the crowd – in this instance, the Football League and their ten-volume rulebook. But those cheeky scamps […]
