In episode 298 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Garry Miller. Garry is a communications professional and worked as a publicist in the BBC Sport communications team at the same time our Founder Freddie worked at the BBC. Garry's first proper job was working for Wigan Council, where he cut his teeth across a range of areas including policy, project management and investigating benefit fraud. His big break came when England hosted the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. The organisers put a call-out for volunteers, including one role of press officer for the tournament. Garry applied for the role and was successful. He then took 6-8 weeks of annual leave just to do the role. After the World Cup finished, he went back to his day job but it wasn't the same. He had got the sport bug and wanted to get back in the industry. He started volunteering for the Wigan Warriors rugby league team to help with their game day operations and unfortunately was then made redundant from the council. Afterwards, he landed a job with the Rugby Football League, the sport's organising body in England and worked for them for four years. He had the opportunity to work with the England national team and at all major events for the sport, including the Challenge Cup tournament, ‘Magic Weekend' and the Super League Grand Final. After four years, he felt he had done everything he could in that role and he saw an opportunity at the BBC in their Sport team. From there, he worked on every big BBC Sport announcement and campaign you can probably think of, as well as podcasts and setting up interviews for all the titans who worked there at the time, including the likes of Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. In 2022, Garry left the BBC and moved to a new role with the Trust Alliance Group (TAG). Based in Warrington, TAG provide a range of products and services to build, maintain and restore trust between consumers and businesses. In this episode we discuss Garry's career from Wigan Council days to where he is now, the glitz and glamour years in the Beeb, and why he wanted to leave to do a role which provided him with more purpose and impact. For Garry's mental health, we discuss a period of struggle he went through whilst working at the BBC around five or six years ago. We discuss the factors behind it, being prescribed medication, which he is still on now, the positives its brought and the side-effects and the support he had at that time in work and outside of it. We finish by discussing his partner's post-natal depression when his son was born. We talk about the impact that witnessing her mental health difficulties had on him and how he supported her through taking on more caring responsibilities for his son until his partner was able to overcome what she was going through.

Caley Thistle are back, brother, and so is The Wyness Shuffle, with a Hulk Hogan-sized pod covering our summer business, the current state of the squad, a returning hero, all you'll ever need to know about this season's League One clubs, the usual nonsense, plus 31-plus years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Join us as we look forward to delivering atomic leg drops to every one of our opponents. Let's Shuffle! 00:01:12 – Hello! We're back, and we're excited. Moff introduces the panel and we reveal what we are looking forward to about the season ahead. 00:05:58 – Incoming! Caley Thistle have been busy!

We discuss the potential importance to the team of retaining these players and the others who have signed on again, then look at other areas that we still have to strengthen in. Is there another striker in the offing? Also, listen out at the end of this section for your opportunity to be part of TWS's Player Sponsorship. 00:51:10 – What yi sayeen? – David Wotherspoon. The fans wanted him back, the club wanted him back and he wanted to come back, so together they made it happen. Stevie has a happy reunion with Spoony, discussing what he loves about Caley Thistle, what he can bring to the club this time around, and what he'd eat on his last night on earth. 01:20:20 – Rebranding the Stadium. In early June, Alan Savage announced that the Caledonian Stadium was set to be renamed under a three-year deal with prospective sponsors. With the new name yet to be confirmed, we discuss what we'd like our beloved ground to be called. 01:23:48 – Encyclopaedic League One Opposition Lowdown. The grounds, the teams, the managers, all you ever wanted to know about League One!

We briefly discuss what we've learned from the games played so far. 02:26:10 – League Lookahead. We look forward to August's fixtures against Kelty, Peterhead, Stenhousemuir, Montrose and Alloa. But we do not look forward to the Challenge Cup nonsense.  02:40:15 – Competition time.

Annie, Ella, and André were invited to record live sessions of Hey Spirits at Spirit Fest! Naturally, we set aside our nerves and fears of being perceived, agreed, and had so much fun.We interviewed head coach Jonatan Giráldez and Adrián González together. We discussed the transition that happened midseason last year, eating burgers, the NWSL Challenge Cup, and of course, candy corn. (One likes it, the other does not!)Then we chatted with Tara McKeown and Kate Wiesner! Tara talks us through her journey to recently starting (and assisting) for the USWNT! Kate discusses her first year as a pro and what she's looking forward to this year. Plus we bombard them with random questions in our search for our next candy corn question, and we thank them for their patience lol.Next we chatted with the recently retired Nicole Barnhart! She dishes on her decision to retire, and how she became the Spirit's assistant goalkeeping coach. She also tells us all about the peace and tranquility of her cabin, and tells the long version of her first start with the USWNT (it is a can't-miss story)!We wrapped up with Esme Morgan and Hal Hershfelt! We get into everything from Rowdy Audi, to traversing an ocean every international window, to tattoos, to Cadbury eggs, and so much more. We also surprise Hal by awarding her our MVP, the Candy Corn Crown. Then we have Esme try candy corn live on stage!Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review. It means a lot to us!
