Grimsby picked up a point at Harrogate on Saturday, but to many it felt like a defeat having lead 2-0 until the last 5 minutes of the game and to make matters worse, closest play-off rival Colchester grabbed a late win at Newport. The guys begin by discussing their disappointment at the full time whistle but the conversation quickly turns to THAT Kieran Green goal; an audacious 75 yard strike from inside his own half. The panel then debate whether or not Doug Tharme going off in the second half was the turning point in the game and whether the surprising criticism levelled at him by manager David Artell was warranted. In Part Two, Joe Acklam from the ‘Swindon Advertiser' joins the show to help preview the two games over the Easter bank holiday weekend, starting with the return of ex Mariners boss and the much maligned Ian Holloway.+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Steve Young, George Mann and Joe AcklamSubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Find all the latest VFTF news, archive episodes, written articles and panelist bios on our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes Intro / Outro music - "Fight The Feeling" by Kid Spirit.

They discuss how the game played out, who was at fault for the free kick and why did the wall jump out of the way? they discuss the 2-1 defeat to Swindon, how can Wimbledon throw away so many points away in the last 10 mins and from winning positions. Did Jackson get the starting line up all wrong? does Jackson need to take the blame regarding the lack of subs or was he correct to blame the ref? After the break they talk about Matty Stevens and is 21 goals enough? some complaints from the Wimbledon faithful regarding Stevens all round game or is scoring goals all that matters? Should we be building the team around him? or are the fans correct and he needs to do more?

Renowned detective novelist Agatha Christie found herself at the centre of a real-life mystery: when she mysteriously disappeared for 11 days, from 3rd December, 1926.  Shortly after learning of her husband's infidelity, Christie had driven away from the family home, abandoning her car near a quarry. There was a massive manhunt as theories circulated in the newspapers, including murder, suicide, or intentional disappearance. Eventually she was spotted in a spa hotel in Harrogate, living under an assumed identity. In this episode, The Retrospectors investigate what Christie got up to during her mental fugue; consider whether this event triggered the trend for amateur sleuths joyriding on real-life crimes; and reveal how the novelist's most detailed description of the event occurs not in her autobiography, but in a novel she wrote under a pseudonym… CONTENT WARNING: attempted suicide, post-traumatic mental illness.

How is having ADHD like being a butterfly? Why are women still being defined by what their husbands do? And do sharks really love heavy metal? Helping us to answer all these questions is the awesome Lliana Bird! She tells us about her children's book, Baboo the Unusual Bee, which she wrote while breastfeeding. We share our memories of being new mums, and reveal the advice we wish we'd had back in the day. Lliana talks about her shock at discovering that women's pages are disappearing from wikipedia, thanks to some good old fashioned misogyny. We also have a good old chinwag about everything from her time as Xfm's longest serving woman DJ to female friendship, the mental load, and why mice sing when they want a shag.
