Blackburn Rovers came back down to Earth with a bump after successive defeats last week. Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred pick apart two bad results in the latest episode of Arte et Labore. Both games were a tail of two halves. Rovers poor against Bristol City before surrendering their position of strength at Pride Park. With injuries mounting, Michael O'Neill's post-match assessment was honest and accurate. How will they cope in midfield if Sondre Tronstad is ruled out? There are two massive games coming up for Rovers. Portsmouth at home followed by Oxford away could define their season as we drip into single-figure games. Can Rovers improve their record against teams around them? You can find Arte et Labore in your podcast app. Make sure to never miss an episode by subscribing here.

A new approach to working with England's upland communities has been announced by the Government, starting with Dartmoor and then Cumbria. Clubs have been formed so farmers and other enthusiasts can come together to enjoy repairing and maintaining old Land Rovers. This week we're focusing on cheese, from the very big brands you find in the supermarkets to the small artisan producers.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about all the action in Weatherfield (and beyond!) between the 5th and the 9th January 2026 (Episodes #11,767 - 11,772). It's the telly event we've been waiting for for a year now - an explosive crossover between Corrie and Emmeradale as two worlds collide and an almighty pile-up in the Pennines. We already gave our immediate reaction to Corriedale earlier this week, but what did we make of the episode leading up to it, and did the quality continue for the rest of the week as Corrie switched to a daily, half hour format? We've got the Platts' new baby to discuss, the prospect of Debbie being sent down for dangerous driving and of course, the aftermath of Theo's chilling actions inside the fiery minibus - what a week! After Street Talk, we head over to the Kabin, where we try our hardest to persuade ourselves that we don't REALLY need the latest piece of Rovers history to make its way onto ITV Reloved as well as previewing a few upcoming Corrie-adjacent events that fans might want to get tickets for. We round off the show with all your feedback on Corriedale. Street Talk - 00:11:48 The Kabin - 03:14:08 Feedback - 03:23:23
