In a change to what we normally do Pete Nordsted & Jimmy Kempton from this season will start looking at games from the EFL as well as the Premier League.This weeks matches we look at the following:Premier League:Man Utd v BurnleyLiverpool v ArsenalChampionship:Middlesboro v Sheff UnitedIpswich v DerbyLeague 1:Exeter v PeterboroughStevenage v WycombeLeague 2:Salford v CheltenhamGrimsby v Bristol Rovershttps://tradeonsports.co.uk

There's nothing more dramatic than a game which is won or lost in the last meaningful moment. These are the ones which live longest in the memory for fans and players alike and which bring both tears of joy and despair in equal measure. And, when it's on the biggest stage, those memories last a lifetime.Some are lifted by the iconic commentary that sits alongside them. “Long fancies it, Long fancies it. It's wide to West, it's wide to West... ” makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up to this day as Chris Joynt finished off an incredibly desperate last play for St Helens against Bradford that ultimately led to a Grand Final victory.Occasionally, these dramatic endings also settle city rivalries. David Hodgson for Rovers against FC at Magic Weekend and Chris Green the other way around the following year to equal the score for example. Whilst others have more major consequence, such as Shaun Johnson breaking English hearts at Wembley in the World Cup semi-final or Gareth O'Brien's huge drop-goal in the Million Pound Game which capped off an incredible comeback by Salford in golden point extra-time.Then there's the drama of the helicopter hovering over the Pennines, waiting to see where the trophy was heading, when Ryan Hall's last second try for Leeds at Huddersfield secured the League Leaders' Shield and completed part two of the Rhinos treble campaign.While Jack Welsby's try on the hooter for his home town club against their fiercest rivals in the Covid hit Grand Final was equally dramatic despite hardly anyone being there to witness it. The players waited anxiously for the video referee to check it was a try and when confirmed went absolutely wild, even though there was no-one else there to celebrate with them!The more personal the occasion, the more memorable is the ending, and there's absolutely nothing worse than losing that way, but nothing beats winning like that either.

Next month, The Media Leader will head up north for The Future of Media Manchester – part one of our two-part flagship event series, with the other held in London in November.While there, we'll be looking to unpack an industry in flux. How is AI changing the media market? What's next for social platforms? And for brand discovery? How can we supercharge investment outside London?Ahead of the conference, Jack Benjamin caught up with one of the speakers who offers a unique view on our industry.Professor Andy Miah is chair in science communication and future media at the University of Salford. He is a bioethicist, an academic and an expert on how technology is shaping our media environments and, in turn, who we are and how we interact with each other in society.Miah and Benjamin discuss the ways in which AI has the power to transform media (for better and for worse): how AI slop is taking over our TikTok feeds, the ethics of chatbots and whether business incentives are aligning with social incentives for technological change in media."The ethics of it certainly can't be left to the platforms to decide," says Miah. "We certainly don't want to restrict innovation to such an extent that it cannot progress, but I think we have the beginnings of a global conversation on how to regulate AI."Highlights:2:37: How new technology is shaping media consumption: optimism and anxiety6:42: Antidotes to enshittification?

Few voices in rock history are as instantly recognizable as Allan Clarke, the co-founder and lead singer of the iconic British band The Hollies. With a career that spans more than six decades, Allan's soaring vocals, heartfelt delivery, and unforgettable harmonies have become synonymous with the golden age of classic rock and the British Invasion. Known for timeless hits like He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress), and Bus Stop, Allan's legacy as a rock legend is as vibrant today as it was in the 1960s.He was born Harold Allan Clarke n Salford, England. As a child, Allan developed a passion for music, drawing inspiration from early rock 'n' roll icons like Elvis, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard. His friendship with Graham Nash—who would later go on to fame with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young—proved to be the foundation for one of the most beloved bands of all time.In 1962, Clarke and Nash formed The Hollies, a name inspired by their mutual admiration for Buddy Holly. The band's signature sound, marked by bright guitar riffs, tight vocal harmonies, and Allan's powerful yet soulful voice, quickly captured the attention of the British music scene. By '63, The Hollies were signed to the same label as The Beatles.The Hollies scored their first major hit with Stay in '63, but it was songs like Bus Stop and Carrie Anne that cemented their status as hitmakers. Allan Clarke's voice was the emotional core of The Hollies, effortlessly blending pop sensibilities with the raw energy of rock. One of Allan's most defining vocal performances came with the release of He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother in '69. Featuring a young Elton John on piano, the song became a global anthem of brotherhood and compassion. In '72, The Hollies had another worldwide hit with Long Cool Woman , a track that still dominates classic rock radio playlists today.While Allan's legacy is firmly rooted in his work with The Hollies, he also pursued a solo career, releasing several solo albums that blended rock, folk, and country influences.Allan Clarke temporarily left The Hollies in '71 but returned in '73. His second departure in '99 marked what many assumed was the end of his career due to vocal health issues. In 2019, he made a remarkable comeback with his album Resurgence. The project marked his first solo release in decades and proved that his voice still carried the same warmth and emotion that defined his early work. Allan also collaborated with his old friend Graham Nash . His recent work bridges the gap between classic rock nostalgia and modern storytelling.The Hollies, with Allan Clarke at the helm, have sold over 60 million records worldwide and remain one of the most successful groups to emerge from the '60s.Their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a long-overdue recognition of their influence on generations of musicians and fans. Today, Allan Clarke stands as a bridge between the early days of rock ‘n' roll and the present. His journey from the streets of Salford to international stardom with The Hollies is a testament to the enduring power of great music, determination, and collaboration. For classic rock fans, Allan Clarke's voice is not just a sound — it's a memory, an era, and a feeling rolled into one.Whether you're revisiting He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, grooving to Long Cool Woman, or discovering Clarke's latest music, there's no denying his place in the pantheon of classic rock legends. Join us today as Allan Clarke shares stories of his rise to fame, his friendship with Graham Nash and what the music of The Hollies means to him.

What do a fresh ADHD diagnosis, dinosaur sound effects, and unexpected genitals have in common? Apparently, everything. This week, Trevin opens up with a personal dilemma and mental health update that trades dread for clarity—offering an honest look into the wild world of adult ADHD. Meanwhile, Amanda revisits her favorite chaotic segment: children's books with sound effects. Her newest prop? A prehistoric button-masher that may give our infamous donkey book a run for its money. The duo then dives into another chaotic round of Top 5. Trevin counts down the Top 5 Most Bizarre Actor Contract Clauses, featuring high-maintenance Hollywood legends like Vin Diesel, George Clooney, and Barbra Streisand. Amanda counters with a nostalgic trip into her childhood obsession with pharmaceutical ads, ranking Five of the Worst Prescription Drug Recalls in History—because who doesn't love a little mayhem in the medicine cabinet? In story time, Trevin revives the theme of terrible excuses with a fresh petty crime tale set at Tom Husband Leisure Centre in Salford. Will 60-year-old Xin Zhang break a sweat at the gym—or just make things weird in the sauna? Either way, his explanation is... something. Amanda's story starts with the original bad decision: eating the forbidden fruit. But this apple-heavy story leads to a real-life skinny-dipping crime off the coast of Massachusetts, starring Zachary Tomko, Holly O'Neil, and a bold disregard for pants. Apples, nudity, and cold water—what could go wrong? Shockingly, both crimes share an unexpected theme: surprise genitals. From medical revelations to beachside shenanigans, there's no escaping ADHDeez Nuts.

This week on the Science for Sport podcast, host Richard Graves welcomes back Michael Carolan, a performance coach and subject lead in sport rehabilitation at the University of Salford. With nearly two decades of experience across elite sport, the military, and education, Michael shares a refreshingly honest and deeply practical perspective on what it really means to coach athletes through injury and recovery. Whether you're a coach, therapist, or performance practitioner, this episode offers a wealth of real-world insights you can apply immediately. In this episode, you'll learn: Why rehab should be treated as coaching, not just therapy How communication and trust are at the heart of effective injury recovery The mental toll of injury, and how to keep athletes feeling connected and valued Why protocols are useful, but experience and adaptability matter more How to “train around injury” and keep performance progressing The role of environment, load tolerance, and coaching cues in recovery How elite recoveries (like NFL star Aaron Rodgers') can mislead athletes Why Michael teaches his students to “get miles on the soul” through experience How to filter hype, stay objective, and build athlete autonomy Michael's no-nonsense, athlete-first approach is as insightful as it is relatable, combining science, coaching, and a human touch in every decision he makes.

Send me a Text!Have you ever walked into a kindergarten classroom and instantly felt the energy—bright colors, fun posters, cozy corners—and then flashbacked to your high school or college experience where the walls were... gray, plain, and uninspired? Yeah, me too.In this episode, I'm diving into a fascinating study that explores how classroom design changes as students get older—and what that says about how we treat learning at different ages.

"It's all about connecting people and place to opportunity."Tom Stannard is the Chief Executive of Manchester City Council. A proud public servant, he began his career in London, but his journey in the North West has been a tale of two cities. Tom left Salford four months ago to start his new role in Manchester.Find out how Tom leads with a community first mindset; humility, purpose and humour, including a commitment to staying grounded, even if that means posing for a photo next to some fly-tipping!In this episode, Lisa Morton explores what it means to lead a global city with local people at its heart. Tom shares how his experiences in Salford have shaped his approach to inclusive regeneration, why he believes that listening to community voices is key to effective policymaking, and how his family values have influenced his leadership journey. From site visits in Miles Platting to gigs in Co-op Live, Tom proves that civic leadership can have both steel and soul.You'll hear how regeneration can serve every part of a city, not just its centre and what Tom and his team have planned for Greater Manchester in the next 10 years. This is a conversation about building a fairer Manchester, one that's ambitious, inclusive, and connected to the people who call it home.------Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester; across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.To celebrate the 28 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family' and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.Connect with TomVia LinkedInConnect with Lisa and Roland Dransfield: Via our websiteOn InstagramOn X FKA TwitterOn this episode, We Built This City has partnered with Manchester Metropolitan University.

In this raw and energising conversation, Katy Cowan is joined by Emma Barratt, global executive creative director at Wolff Olins, to talk about class in the creative industry, imposter syndrome, and the kind of diversity we don't discuss enough. With honesty, grit, and a huge amount of heart, Emma opens up about her working-class roots in Salford, the long road into the design world, and the resilience it took to get to the top. They explore why the industry still has a long way to go when it comes to genuine inclusivity—especially in terms of class and social mobility. Emma talks about how expensive cities like London continue to block access for many talented creatives and how the legacy of connections and privilege often dictates who gets a foot in the door. It's not just about ticking boxes on a diversity form—it's about meaningful, systemic change, and it needs to start at the top. Emma also shares her experience of imposter syndrome and learning to embrace her own voice, even when it didn't fit the mould. From overcoming dyslexia to navigating a male-dominated creative scene, she reflects on what it took to unlearn shame and reclaim pride in her background. We hear how she's now determined to be the mentor she never had—helping others who feel like outsiders realise their worth, whether they're neurodiverse, working class, or just don't see themselves represented. This episode touches on everything from unpaid internships and university barriers to the superpower of growing up without a safety net. Emma doesn't shy away from the difficult truths—but there's also humour, hope, and a rallying cry for change. If you've ever felt like you don't belong, this one's for you.

Jason Donovan won the hearts of millions alongside Kylie Minogue in the Australian soap Neighbours; then his debut album was the biggest seller of 1989 and he topped the UK singles chart 4 times. In the 1990s he reinvented himself in musical theatre with acclaimed roles in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and now he's playing Frank-n-furter in the Rocky Horror Show tour. Its safe to say he knows a thing or two about eye catching costumes, as does Great British Sewing Bee judge and designer to the stars Patrick Grant. His book - Less - is a plea to us to stop buying so much rubbish, buy better, mend more and think about wearing woollen knit swimming costumes or at least cotton running gear. The comedian Sophie McCartney is best known for poking fun at parenting and her viral mum-parody to the tune of Ed Sheeran. But she likes a costume too - thigh high silver boots and leather shorts for her latest show One Foot In the Rave, full of advice on how best to turn 40, how to parent questioning teenagers and say a loud "no thanks" to a midlife crisis. With music from BBC Folk Award winners The Young'Uns and indie-soul singer Mychelle who's supporting Jorja Smith on tour. Presented by Stuart Maconie Produced in Salford by Olive Clancy

Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about the family trip to Canada for the finale of Got Talent as well as FIVE tour shows in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto.

'A Private Audience with BK' has inspired Katherine and Bobby to never host another party as it's too much at once and a few mums took issue with Violet being left in London to write her GCSE exams. Violet stirred up controversy at home posting her thoughts on Chris Brown being granted a VISA by the British Government just to be arrested at the Lowry Hotel in Salford and held in a Manchester prison (lol). Also, Diddy trial updates that come with a severe trigger warning. x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chris was arrested overnight in Salford, UK over an alleged bottle attack in a London nightclub. He was arrested by police in Manchester, after flying into the UK for an upcoming tour. Brown is currently being held on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
