Archie, Alex, and James Stables—aka One Team In Devon and BBC Radio Devon co-commentator on the day—break down another tough week for Argyle, starting with a battling 0-0 draw away at Watford and whether the first half showed genuine encouragement or just flattered to deceive. They discuss key moments, tactical decisions, and whether the subs once again hurt momentum. Attention once again turns towards Michael Baidoo after yet another underwhelming display. The pod grapple with his underwhelming performances, and fail to believe that he's simply not very good, so what are the underlying issues ?Final-third decision-making, or rather the lack of it, takes centre stage as the pod dissects what stopped Argyle from taking all three points. BBC Radio Devon commentator and friend of the pod, Michael McCann, sends in his full-time report, offering a more glass-half-full perspective on events.In part two, the pod looks at the club's messaging during the international break, particularly the latest "Chairman's Chat"—a reflective and insightful letter where the possibility of relegation is openly acknowledged. There's also time for a look ahead to Norwich, with the pod caught between daring to dream and getting bogged down in Opta's 97% chance of relegation.In part three, James and Archie dive into James's latest newsletter, unpacking the butterfly effect of Foster's sacking and the knock-on impact it has had on the club's trajectory.Support the show Hosted on Acast.

A game and a result that was always likely to divide opinions – an agricultural slogfest or a retro work of art? BBC Radio Devon commentator Michael McCann shares his post-match thoughts, while friend of the pod Michael Savage gives us a first-hand account of his night in that iconic away end.The Battle of Kenilworth Road and what could be a huge point as the season develops is the focus. Under the cosh from minute one, there is consensus that there is a plan, even if that plan is sometimes not easy on the eye. The injustice of a disallowed goal, whether there's always someone to blame for conceding, and the early signs of a set-piece coach in action are all under the microscope. Even the referee felt like he was from a bygone era in a stadium from another time.From a game that felt like the past to a focus on the future. Can a siege mentality be sustained in the face of a heavy fixture load? Should we be worried about a lack of goal threat or elated about the goals scored? Or isn't it just great to still be in the mix?Quick thoughts on the upcoming fans' forum close things out.Bring on Cardiff.Support the show Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, the hosts are joined by One Team in Devon to discuss a return to planet away day at Blackburn. Friend of the pod and BBC Radio Devon commentator, Drew Savage, sends in a voice note sharing his views from the commentary box, offering his perspective on the game.The key focus is the impact of Ryan Hardie's injury, the team's performance (we've played better, but certainly worse too), and what this means in the run-up to a season-defining run of fixtures.They review a strong performance by a high-flying Rovers side, the pros and cons of rotation, the significance of the upcoming matches, and the overall dynamics of the team as they navigate a challenging season.Inevitably, the future of a frontline that was looking so positive is under detailed review. Can Baidoo show more signs of promise? Why do other forwards struggle so much with the Muslic method? Should the free market be explored, or are there better options closer to home?Finally, thoughts turn to the mother of all six-pointers at Luton and a run of games against relegation rivals—only interrupted by a certain Mr Guardiola.Never dull.

David Lloyd is a veteran of the local radio industry, with over 40 years of experience in roles at LBC, Virgin Radio, and the BBC. He also brings regulatory expertise from his time at the UK Radio Authority, now part of Ofcom. Today, he's a broadcaster and co-founder of Boom Radio, a relatively new UK station catering to baby boomers.In this episode, we discuss the state of BBC local radio, including the details of Lloyd's complaint about BBC Radio Devon's failure to adequately cover the 2024 riots. We also explore the potential role of alternative providers and the impact of the BBC's proposed spin-off service on Lloyd's own station, Boom Radio.“I think the BBC can do a lot better on the resources available, even as reduced. They've still got £120 million now furnishing a lot of very part-time radio stations—that's a lot of money. In other hands, that could actually deliver some incredible local radio, which, yes, is the BBC the right person to be running local radio if it really takes them that much money to deliver it poorly?”Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatch/view To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month (NB we only charge for one creation per month): www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership Or if you'd rather make a one-off payment (which doesn't entitle you to the blog) please use our crowdfunding page:https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/roger-boltons-beeb-watch-podcast @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.comwww.goodeggproductions.uk Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This week's show is with Maggy Whitehouse. Maggy Whitehouse is an independent sacramental minister, a lifetime student of Judaeo-Christian mysticism, the author of 20 books on spirituality, mysticism and Bible metaphysics and started out as a stand-up comedian at the age of 56. She was a finalist in the 2015 UK Funny Women Awards. Maggy has worked in newspapers, radio, TV, for the BBC's famed World Service and, most recently, was Sunday morning faith presenter for BBC Radio Devon.

She has been widowed, divorced, healed from cancer, worked as a hospice chaplain, ridden on a Bengal tiger and survived a barracuda attack off the Barrier Reef. Both Maggy's mother and her Bishop think she should get a proper job. In this show, Lian and Maggy explored resistance, specifically through the lens of how it shows up in the form of temptations to avoid expressing our soul's truth, how we can tell when it's showing up (by design it's sneaky), and how we can learn to orient back to our souls and God. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: Noticing your ‘Should's and ‘Yes but's… they are clues to resistance showing up Make your connection to the Divine a priority, do it first and often, 30 seconds of meditation, lighting a candle, going to your altar, speaking a prayer… a little goes a long way to taking you back to your soul Let the light of your own unique soul be that which helps others to navigate back to theirs Resources and stuff that we spoke about Maggy's Website that you can check out: maggywhitehouse.com treeofsapphires.com Listen to Maggy's podcast: Train Wrecks for Jesus.

Both Maggy's mother and her Bishop think she should get a proper job. In this show, Lian and Maggy explored the importance of our relationship to God for those of us in the work of serving as healers (whether or not we call ourselves that) - how we as wounded healers need to go to the source of the wound we have about God in order to heal it, the different ways this wounding shows up, and that can be revealed in what we will and won't call God (which informed the very naming of this show!). I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: Maggy's story of her late husband and how it wounded her was such a clear example of how we can experience disconnection from God, not everyone's story will be as obvious as this but it doesn't mean the wound isn't there Becoming aware of how we perceive we are being punished or abandoned by God, and understanding that it isn't what's truly happening, means we can begin to heal our relationship What are the words for God that you feel uncomfortable with or feel a strong negative reaction to? You can use this as an enquiry into where the wound might be.

WISERD Cardiff's Dr Alex Hillman, qualitative researcher on the IDEAL study, discusses the portrayal of dementia in television and film with Gordon Sparks on BBC Radio Devon, 07/11/2017.
High level scrutiny and the need for further savings shines a light on every corner of BBC. This week Roger Bolton is in Sheffield to find out what listeners think about their BBC local radio stations. He speaks to Sheffield listeners and hears how holding local figures to account, local knowledge, companionship and reflecting the local community are key to keeping listeners engaged. But across England, listening figures are in a slow decline. David Holdsworth, who is in charge of all 39 stations, explains why that is and how local radio is moving with the technical times. Is there such a thing as a free lunch? We join 120 lonely older folk at a free fish and chip lunch organised by BBC Radio Sheffield. It was inspired by the late Winnie Blagden, a fan of the station. Having no family, Radio Sheffield asked their listeners if they could send Winnie a card. She received 16,000 - and a pile of chocolates and flowers. And we hear from the BBC Radio Devon's sports department who regularly cover four or five games every Saturday afternoon - and transmit each one of them with individual commentary on an individual transmitter. Presenter: Roger Bolton Producer: Karen Pirie A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
