It's our final show of 2023 as we take a well-earned break over the festive period - but we go out for the year with a pair of interesting chats. It was a goalless start to life in the Crabble hotseat for Jake Leberl - but with a first clean sheet in 254 days, he and Matt hope it could be the start of a turnaround. In the SCEFL, Bearsted are up to eighth after a 3-2 win over Erith Town and their boss Kevin Stevens talks us through that win, mixing it with the SCEFL big boys and why he's still going strong with more than 400 games in charge under his belt. We've got all the rest of the news from across the county, including the new manager at Lordswood, and a look ahead to the festive fixtures and some questionable scheduling across the board... Plus we talk Andre Braugher, Question of Sport and Christmas plans. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all - we'll be back in 2024! Hosted on Acast.

Just two interviews on this week's show, but they're both definitely worth your time! He's turned 40 and scored his 650th goal so far this season - local legend Paul Vines discusses keeping count of his tally, success at current club Punjab United and his plans for the future. Hythe Town have made a decent start to the campaign, and their manager Steve Watt talks us through their frustration at letting a couple of leads slip, striker Jake Embery's impressive form and the FA Trophy tie with in-form Ramsgate this weekend. We've got all the rest of the news and views from around the county, including more frustration in the National League South and Isthmian Premier, and, of course, why Matt can't leave his dog at Crabble... And there's all the usual chat and nonsense, including half-term, Nike trainers and a ridiculously early (for Jon at least) start to the day... Hosted on Acast.

A dramatic final weekend in the National League South, and Dover have stayed up by the skin of their teeth - boss Mitch Brundle discusses the day and how things have to get better next season at Crabble. There was promotion joy for Phoenix Sports thanks to a last-gasp Ryan Hayes penalty and manager Steve O'Boyle talks us through their win at VCD and why he feels it was so important to get out of the SCEFL at the first attempt. Play-off disappointment, though, for Hythe Town - boss Steve Watt discusses their narrow Isthmian League South East final defeat at Whitehawk. Lydd Town have moved up to Step 5 after their promotion play-off success and their manager Mickey Doyle looks back at the win over Tooting Bec, why home advantage was so important and his hopes that the FA don't move them to another league. We look ahead to the rest of the play-offs and the Kent Senior Cup final, and there's all the usual chat and nonsense, including dog show previews, Super Mario Brothers and loads more besides.

Welcome to Season 2 of “Mary Gets It”, Crabble Fam!
Fresh (ish) from the news that the 2019-20 season for most of our clubs is null and void, we discuss if that was the right decision or if it was perhaps a bit hasty.

Plus we discuss home schooling, trigonometry, the speaking clock and Neighbours. A lot about Neighbours.

As a psychologist, Tony Crabbe was fascinated by our habitual response to the question, 'How are you?' 'Busy.' Every conversation and every observation of human behaviour seemed to point to a constant sense of overwhelm, and he saw it in his own life too. 'I had this growing gnawing sense that I was failing to be the dad I wanted to be, failing to have the impact in the career I wanted because of this busy-ness. As a good psychologist, I went to do research and I thought "What can I learn from great psychology that will help me on this?"' What's particularly interesting from an Extraordinary Business Book Club perspective about this book is the way it mixes research evidence, human stories and practical application so effectively. 'I wanted to write a book that took research from really great studies but applied it to something, a user problem that people were really grappling with. I made it practical... academically robust, but at the same time deeply simple and practical.' If you like me are interested in that tricky balance between academic research, engaging stories and drawing out the 'so what' in your book, this interview is pure gold.
Jack O'Sullivan, editor of Dover Athletic's match-day programme, spoke to Palace Radio's Dave Earl about next month's FA Third Round tie on the Kent Coast. He told us what Palace fans can expect from the trip to the Crabble.
