Podcast appearances and mentions of nathan edge

In the second instalment of the accessibility in football series, Jamie is joined by blind Mansfield town fan, Nathan Edge. They discuss what it is like going to football games at a lower level as a disabled fan, what is in place for visually impaired and blind fans, what could be done to improve the experience and much more. Sponsored by FC sensory, a blind football club based in Coventry, email fcsensory@protonmail.com for more details.

Nathan Edge, will soon, for the very first time ever, become a dad, a journey he's been documenting on his YouTube channel 'Blind Dad and Family'. As the weeks slowly tick off and May draws closer and closer, RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew caught up with Nathan to hear how him and his family are doing. Follow Nathan on YouTube and Facebook at 'Blind Dad and Family' or on twitter @NathanEdge94 Image shows Nathan and Emma in an explosion of blue confetti, the floor covered in blue and pink balloons and a 'BOY or GIRL' banner behind them.  

It's been a crazy year of being stuck at home, watching football from the sofa and deseperately hoping that one day, it would all go away. In this special edition podcast, Craig Priest Cameron Felton & Nathan Edge take a look at the impact of going from the terraces to the armchair. Contains a little bit of strong language and tears

For any soon-to-be-parent, one moment that is often named as an important milestone is getting a first glimpse at your baby even before it's born.   But for many blind and partially sighted parents baby scans are not exactly accessible, but what if they could be?    Nathan Edge, will become a dad, for the first time, this year and he recently received a gift that allowed him to see his baby boy for the first time. RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew spoke with Nathan about the amazing gift and what a difference a simple embroidery could make to other blind and partially sighted parents.  You can follow Nathan and his family on YouTube at 'Blind Dad and Family' or on twitter: @NathanEdge94 Image shows a congratulations card for new parents with a photo of the baby scan and the embroidered image above it.

Next up in our series of former players recalling their time with the Stags, is a man who, without the help of the fans in the first place, would never have donned the amber and blue. Signed in 2010 with the help of supporters group “The 12th Stag” – Paul enjoyed a season and a half on the good ship Mansfield, which during his time on board, certainly sailed choppy waters. Paul talks us through the on the pitch struggles as dodgy defending left players collecting P45s, outstanding own goals, and an unbelievable run to Wembley – whilst off of the pitch, takeovers, lock-outs and loan rulings played havoc. This episode was recorded on Wednesday 3rd July and is Presented/ Produced by Craig Priest, featuring Cam Felton (audio producer), Simon Mercer and Nathan Edge. For more, visit www.mtfcmatters.co.uk

Continuing our brand new series where Stags fans can hear from former famous faces of the club, we’re back with part two of our interview with two-time Stag Martin Riley - who joins us at the Capo Lounge, to reflect on his three seasons at the club across two different spells. Picking up with the Stags’ beaten in the conference play-off semi-final, Riley explains more about his departure and how the nuptials of boss Paul Cox, ultimately led to his return after just a season away – with the Stags now back in the Football League. Riley talks us over the following two seasons on the pitch, and reflects more on the antics off of it, with stories including the “tunnel of death” where the youth team were given a different kind of footballing lesson – and how Ollie Palmer and Ryan Taffazolli debate over when the titanic sunk. Riley also takes part in the ‘It’s all about you’ quiz and shares many more tales of his Mansfield Town journey. **WARNING This episode contains strong language and content which some may find offensive.

Kicking off our brand new series where Stags fans can hear from former famous faces of the club, two-time Stag Martin Riley joins us at the Capo Lounge, to reflect on his three seasons at the club across two different spells. In Part One, the popular central defender takes us back to the 2011/12 campaign where under the stewardship of Paul Cox, Mansfield Town reached the conference play-offs, losing out in the second leg to York City. The now Hereford defender takes us through how his move to the One Call Stadium came about, how pre-season packed more than one punch – with a memorable weekend in Skegness, and a torrid night at Ilkeston creating an active start to life as a Stag. Other stories include players smoking habits, monetary gain as the Stags romped towards the finish line, nearly getting banned from York City over an innocent cup of coffee and MUCH more! **WARNING This episode contains strong language and content which some may find offensive** Part Two will be out next week!

Celebrity host Jeff Brazier speaks to guide dog owners Alex Pepper and Nathan Edge, who both lost their sight completely as teenagers. They are joined by Nathan’s friend Pete Jones-Hall who he met through Guide Dogs’ My Guide service. Topics of discussion include football; coming to terms with sight loss; how it can make or break friendships; what similarities, differences and challenges there are in making friends when you are blind. Alex shares hilarious friendship fails – including childhood mates being so used to his sight loss that they frequently forget he has it and leave him in pubs, clubs and even on stag dos by accident. Pete and Nathan share how My Guide matched Pete to support Nathan train for the London marathon and how with “only one good eye” between them, they bonded straight away.

The Stags have been clocking up the miles this week with games at Swindon and Morecambe, they've been clocking up the points too with four points from two games and two clean sheets. This week we look back at the two matches, the influence of Neal Bishop in midfield and how the win percentage of David Flitcroft as Stags boss has no real reflection on how things are going, unlike suggestions on twitter! Plus as it's Simon's birthday, we bring back a mini competition to win some games of Crazy Golf! Presenter: Craig Priest Pannel: Simon Mercer, Nathan Edge, Cam Felton Additional Media; iFollow

As Mansfield Town get pegged back late on (again!) against Bury and qualify for the next stage of the Checkatrade Trophy, Craig, Simon & Nathan take a look at who responsibility lies with and why progression in the cup is the perfect solution. We thrice hear from David Flitcroft as he reflects on Bury, Cup Progression and international call ups, as well as goal scoring defender Matt Preston and Academy Director Steve Hymas. We also have a long and frank discussion over Mental Health following World Mental Health Day, talking about how managers and clubs handle situations and spreading the message that it's ok, to not be ok. WARNING, Craig gets a bit emotional and swears.

Mansfield Matters Podcast | SE01EP04 ‘Whatever will bee’ The latest episode of our weekly Podcast is now online ahead of match-day as the Stags face a poignant test against Luton Town. Last Saturday the club and its supporters were saddened to hear of the loss of former Manager Duncan Russell, who aged 59, sadly lost his battle with cancer. ‘Russ’ as he was affectionately known steered the club through its darkest ever water and gave supporters memories to savour – the panicle of which being against Luton Town in the FA Trophy semi-final in 2011. This week’s podcast starts and ends with a tribute to Russ who will rightfully be remembered by way of applause prior to kick-off on Saturday. It’s all change on the panel this week as with Nathan Edge still on international duty and Cam Felton on holiday – Craig & Mark invited fellow Mansfield Matters Blogger Kirsty Swann to join the show – filmed and recorded back where it all began… Titchfield Park. This week as well as a touching tribute to Russ, the team talk stikers, following the addition of Kane Hemmings, finance following the news that the club are so close to breaking even and if the club should be aiming for Checkatrade Trophy Glory as well as League succsess. On top of all of that, another instalment of ‘Ultimate XI’ as the right back is revealed, whilst the panel pick their choice for centre back – each week each panellist picks a player from a certain position, loanee, trialist or otherwise from the Stags past – they have 60 seconds to pitch their player and you, the listeners, vote for who you think should be signed for the Ultimate XI via Social Media. The ‘Connection Question’ also returns whilst we’ll bring you right upto date with the prediction league, well kind-of! As always the podcast is ‘For the fans, by the fans’ and we’d love you to interact via twitter/facebook – details below. The Mansfield Matters podcast will be posted here every week (hopefully on a Friday) and is the ONLY dedicated show online (probably) – please spread the word, share, comment and get involved!

By Guest Blogger, Nathan Edge This month Nathan Edge discusses the nature and operation of nuclear devices being used in unmanned space operations. As an aside, I can't believe I wasn't the first person to type into Google, "nuclear engine...USS Enterprise"?! Nathan provides links to sites for more information throughout the piece. Anyway, on with the article!-------------------------------------------------Nuclear power isn’t just applicable to terrestrial electricity generation; it has also been used in space travel since 1961 – whereby it is still a tremendous source of potential for propulsion mechanisms. Many well known space vehicles such as the deep space probes Voyagers 1 & 2 – which are over 18,000,000,000 and 15,000,000,000 km from Earth respectively – rely on nuclear power. It is even being used on NASA’s Curiosity Rover, which made a spectacular touchdown on Mars last year.Voyager 2. One of the most distant man-made objects in existence.The popularised spacecraft don’t actually use conventional nuclear reactors. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) - which harness Plutonium-238 as fuel - are the primary propulsion source. These so-called “nuclear batteries” exploit the principle that plutonium undergoes alpha-decay to produce heat. This is subsequently converted in to electricity using thermoelectric generators. Since they have no moving parts, RTGs are very reliable; the RTG on Voyager 2 has worked continuously since 1977, and is expected to continue working until 2025.A general RTG configurationThis is not to say, however, traditional nuclear reactors have not also been used in space operations in the past … albeit with some serious modifications. For example, the Soviet RORSAT satellites used 90% enriched uranium fuel as a power source. The safety implications of using such a system in earth orbit are obvious, and any fears of utilising such a technology are not exactly unfounded. The nuclear-powered Cosmos 954 satellite, for instance, fell into Canada in 1978 after a systems failure, distributing radioactive debris over 124,000 square kilometres. Due to events like these, it is likely that any future reactors will be confined to deep space like RTGs. However, this does not mean that they will only be used for unmanned exploration probes. NASA has its eyes on a manned Mars mission, but traditional chemical rockets would take six to seven months to reach Mars. A 1MW fission reactor powering 100-400 kW electric ion thrusters would take 3 months, thus limiting the health degradation astronauts face on long space journeys.Modern RTGs are designed to survive the possible accidents which could befall it during operation, including propellant fires during launch and land/water impacts. Reassuringly, RTGs cannot explode like nuclear weapons: the plutonium associated with weapons is Pu-239, not Pu-238. A similar safety feature which has been specified for nuclear reactor propulsion tech is that they are not activated until they are confirmed to have reached space successfully. Ultimately, this is to ensure fission fragments and other components of nuclear waste are not present if failure occurs during launch. Space: The future of waste disposal?Lastly, when using an RTG some additional thought must be applied to the disposal of the spacecraft when they come to the end of their working life. This is not just a nuclear issue: it’s important not to disturb any areas which potentially harbour extraterrestrial life. For example the RTG-powered Galileo spacecraft was sent into Jupiter’s atmosphere and destroyed to stop it crashing into a potential ocean under Europa’s crust. The disposal of RTGs and future nuclear reactors actually touch on one of the more outlandish proposals for dealing with nuclear waste: firing it out of the solar system.In short, the space and nuclear industry have a surprising legacy: nuclear power has already been used successfully for near-earth and deep space missions in the past, and its use has continued into the cutting edge-missions of today. Only time will tell whether or not it is the key to future exploration, both manned and unmanned, into our universe.DOCUMENT LINKS (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE)NASA, 2013 Where are the Voyagers? [online].
