It was a tale of two firsts for the Latics this weekend as Chesterfield inflicted the first home defeat of the season while also making it back to back defeats after last week's blank against Tranmere. The result makes it three losses in five for Mickey Mellon's men, who slip down to 14th in the table. It's early days, but there are certainly questions to be asked about the formation, who is in and, perhaps more importantly, who is out. Thanks to Adrian from Shropshire for the title of the pod.

On a quiet island in Sweden's Lake Mälaren stands Ängsö Castle, a centuries-old estate whose pale walls conceal some of the country's darkest and most enduring legends. Generations have told of figures still moving through its rooms, an encounter rooted in an ancient Scandinavian tradition, and a final story that suggests something far more dangerous than a restless spirit may once have been welcomed inside. This week on Dark Realms, we uncover the history, folklore and unsettling claims surrounding Ängsö Castle — where three hauntings lead us from the lingering dead, to a terrifying encounter in the darkness, and finally to a legend built around one disturbing possibility: that whatever entered this castle centuries ago may never truly have left.Stay safe,KevinA routine tuning job at a quiet Shropshire home leaves one experienced piano tuner confronting something that refuses to behave as it should.

Historian Colin Grant and WritersMosaic writers have travelled the length and breadth of the country to gather the voices and experiences of immigrants living in Britain. In What We Leave We Carry we meet, amongst others, a Czech-Roma lawyer in Reading, an Iranian taxi driver in Shropshire, a Sierra Leonean actor in Northampton, and a Romanian police officer in Edinburgh. Together, these accounts ask questions about assimilation, identity, belonging and the emotional cost of migration in twenty-first-century Britain. Grant was in conversation with the author, broadcaster and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1993, when the World Wide Web quietly slipped into the public domain and Michael Jordan stunned the sports world by walking away from the Chicago Bulls at the height of his powers. Don and Dude drop the needle on one lush adult contemporary album and one shape shifting electronic rock release that show how differently each genre chased the decade's changing mood,The AlbumsSting – Ten Summoner's Tales (1993)After the heaviness of his father haunted The Soul Cages (1991), Sting settled into a new manor house in the English countryside and set up a portable mixing console in his own dining room, recording live with his touring trio of guitarist Dominic Miller, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and keyboardist David Sancious. The album opens with the meditative "Prologue (If I Ever Lose My Faith in You)," moves through the pastoral "Fields of Gold" and the card playing ballad "Shape of My Heart" co-written with Miller, before closing on the tongue in cheek "Epilogue (Nothing 'Bout Me)." Produced by Sting and longtime collaborator Hugh Padgham, and titled as a play on his birth name Sumner, Ten Summoner's Tales became one of his most commercially successful solo records, proving sophisticated adult contemporary songwriting could thrive alongside the era's grunge and hip hop dominance.Depeche Mode – Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993)Following the massive success of Violator (1990), Depeche Mode regrouped in a rented Madrid villa before finishing sessions in Hamburg and London with producer Flood, pushing their sound toward heavier live instrumentation, guitars and gospel textures without abandoning their electronic core. The album opens with the distorted, feedback driven single "I Feel You," moves through the gospel infused "Condemnation" and the melodic "Walking in My Shoes," before closing on the atmospheric "Higher Love." Recorded during a period of serious personal strain within the band, Songs of Faith and Devotion became Depeche Mode's first album to top both the UK and US charts, cementing their shift from synth pop pioneers toward something closer to arena rock.Diggin AlbumsDOMi & JD Beck – WHO ASKED? (2026): The French-American jazz duo's second album, released on Anderson .Paak's APESHIT label in partnership with Blue Note Records, pulls back from the guest heavy approach of their Grammy nominated debut to expand into orchestral players, vocals and shifting time signatures for a dense yet playful record.Nirvana – In Utero (1993): The Seattle trio's third and final studio album, produced by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota, trades the polished sound of Nevermind for something rawer and more abrasive on tracks like "Heart-Shaped Box," "Rape Me" and "All Apologies."The Spongetones – "Lifetimelines" (2026): The long running Charlotte, North Carolina power pop band's new single, produced by bandmate Jamie Hoover, is a personal song from bassist Steve Stoeckel written in the months after he survived a heart attack in April 2025.Whalebone – "Possibilities" (2026): The British acoustic guitar duo's new single, from the prolific Shropshire pair known for nature and folklore inspired instrumental music, came together the way much of their catalog does, with the pair following the mood of a melody wherever it led.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Tell 'em the law's coming.

Steve in West Yorkshire reminisces, whilst car nerd Liam in Shropshire gives it his best

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that used the land itself as its surface.Hester is on a Shropshire ridge she's known twenty years when the far hillside lights up with a vast geometric pattern too precise for any human hand. Then it rotates like a mechanism. Then it contracts around a single point on the opposite ridge: exactly where she's standing. She wasn't being watched. She'd become a variable in something already running.Then Mateo feels heat through his boots on his land near Terlingua: narrow bands beneath the desert, running in straight lines. They glow amber and reconfigure, processing something. By morning the vegetation along them is dead. Five months on, it's still spreading. A metre a week, perfect right angles, heading northwest. His home is northwest.Producer Dom unpacks the darker theories: Vallée's control system, terrain used as hardware, the Dogon patterns encoded into the earth at creation, and the fire meridians that propagate once they hit their threshold.What happens when you're not the subject of the phenomenon… but an input it's still waiting on?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

M. John Harrison returns to the Shakespeare and Company Podcast to talk with Adam Biles about his new novel, The End of Everything, a disaster story set in a "wrong UK" where societal collapse coincides with the arrival of an alien presence, and the strange shape-shifting "artefacts" it leaves behind.Harrison discusses writing an "epistemological" catastrophe rather than a physical one, the decades of discipline it took to trust readers without over-explaining, and how the book's permacrisis mirrors post-2008 Britain and Brexit. He talks character-building from "bits and pieces" of real people, why he refuses to fully reveal his monsters, and how AI anxieties seeped into a book largely conceived before ChatGPT. Buy The End of Everything: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/anabasis-2*MICHAEL JOHN HARRISON is the author of, among others, the Viriconium stories, The Centauri Device, Climbers, The Course of the Heart, The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again, Signs of Life, Light and Nova Swing.

Clare joins Alistair MacNichol for part of his long‑distance walk from Holborn in London to Tong in Shropshire as he recreates the journey made by Little Nell and her grandfather from Charles Dickens's novel The Old Curiosity Shop. The 166‑mile route has been meticulously researched by Alistair, who for many years has questioned whether this fictional adventure could ever be mapped onto real English landscapes.Preparing for the walk has taken him deep into Dickens's world: re‑examining the novel, studying nineteenth‑century maps, and delving into many decades of Dickensian research. He has even carefully traced Dickens's own travels through the Midlands using the author's diary entries and letters.Alistair hopes to complete the walk in eleven days. As a veteran of long‑distance trail walking, including a 1,514‑mile hike from Cape Cornwall to Cape Wrath, the challenge is well within his reach, although averaging a little under fifteen miles per day represents a considerable test.Clare joins him for part of day six, walking from Wroxton in Oxfordshire to Warmington in Warwickshire, and asks how his twin passions for walking and the works of Charles Dickens have come together in this, his latest adventure.Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Keir Starmer's much-hyped defence investment plan has unravelled… and retired British Army Colonel Tim Collins OBE is still unimpressed. With nearly £5 billion unaccounted for, ammunition stockpiles at zero, and Type 45 destroyers that simply don't work, Britain's military is in crisis. Collins warns we are already at war in the cyber realm, that Poland and the Baltic states are watching Britain's retreat with alarm, and that conscription may now be inevitable.Also: two police officers face gross misconduct charges over the death of Henry Nowak — handcuffed as he lay dying whilst his killer was treated as the victim. A judge hands youth rehabilitation orders to teenage rapists who used a knife, filmed their crimes, and shared the footage. Grooming gang ringleader Shabbir Ahmed, convicted of 30 child rape offences, is due for release tomorrow — and the government appears powerless to deport him. And villagers in Shropshire discover that brand-new homes promised as social housing have been quietly earmarked for asylum seekers.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

The organic certification body, the Soil Association, is warning it may withdraw from the farmed salmon sector unless higher standards are met. The organisation says while current standards are being satisfied, that's not driving the improvments in the industry that they want to see. They cite high fish mortality, unacceptable levels of sea lice, and the use of harmful chemical treatments. The industry body says its salmon farmers are committed to the highest standards of fish welfare and environmental responsibility. As we take a closer look at soils all this week, today we meet two Sheffield university researchers who are investigating the properties of micorrhizal fungal networks, which bind together millions of micro organisms - the protection of which many see as the solution to soil health. And as the climate becomes more extreme, the management of water in farming will become more vital than ever. With this in mind, a pilot study has been taking place in Shropshire to assess how technology can help farmers pre-empt risks from flooding and drought. Scientists have even developed an app to give landowners a better idea of what they might face.Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.

The Feathers Hotel, Ludlow, Shropshire. This 17th century coaching inn is not only famous for its Tudor beams and its history, it's also the home to a considerable amount of ghostly activity.

Clare meets Marlon Patrice for a walk up The Wrekin in Shropshire. Marlon is the founder of We Go Outside Too, a community organisation he created in Birmingham after the death of his 17 year old son who was killed by knife violence. In the aftermath of this loss, Marlon turned to nature as a way to cope with the overwhelming grief. He soon recognised how powerful these experiences could be for others who lacked access to green spaces. What began as a personal lifeline grew into the group he runs which takes people of colour into the outdoors.Clare met Marlon and his group in The Wrekin car park, postcode TF6 5BH. It's a famous hill in the region, so much so that ‘around the Wrekin' is a Midlands expression meaning ‘around the houses'. Joining them was Tanya Matthews who led the group in a silent-disco style warm up, and a breathwork meditation session on the summit.Presenter: Clare Balding Producer for BBC Studios: Karen Gregor

It's been 10 years since Jo Cox, the Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was murdered in broad daylight by a man who lived in her constituency, motivated by far-right extremism. That truly shocking event sparked a national conversation about the safety of our elected representatives, and the civility of our public discourse. During her lifetime, Jo's philosophy was that “we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us” – a philosophy which led to the establishment of the Jo Cox Foundation after her death. Their CEO Olivia Field joins presenter Nuala McGovern, along with Alice Lilly, senior researcher at the Institute for Government, to discuss the impact of Jo's death and the safety of female politicians now. Actor Geraldine James is renowned for a host of roles in theatre and on screen, from her TV debut in The Sweeney five decades ago to Jewel in the Crown, Band of Gold, This Town, The Cage and comedy sketch show Little Britain to name a few. Now she's making her Chichester theatre debut in the stage premiere of the 2015 film 45 years, alongside Gabriel Byrne. The couple are about to celebrate 45 years of marriage, when news arrives in a letter from Switzerland about a woman's body that's been discovered in a melting glacier, sending shockwaves through their marriage. A new BBC podcast asks whether women are always safe on swinging websites. Swingers, an investigation from journalist Catrin Nye, explores serious concerns within the swinging community and asks if abuse can exist behind the language of sexual freedom. Nuala speaks to Catrin Nye and Rachel Horman Brown KC, a lawyer whose practice focuses on domestic abuse. The number of bookshops on our high streets has now grown to the highest number since 2012, with some of the rise being attributed to specialist genre shops fuelled by the surge in popularity for fantasy - and 'romantasy' - fiction. We hear from Amanda Logan who opened Ritual Reads in the town of Whitchurch, Shropshire, last November and says about 75% of her customers are women.

A judgement from the High Court yesterday ruled that the Food Standards Agency has been 'unlawfully' charging abattoirs too much and that it wasn't transparent enough about what it was charging for. The ruling comes after a legal challenge by the Association of Independent Meat Suppliers.Developers of small-scale hydro-energy projects say the industry's missing out on investment because of a heavy focus on wind and solar. Scotland in particular has long been a pioneer of cheap hydro-electricity, but companies say the current contracts to supply power are squeezing them out of the market. All week we're hearing about the current challenges facing upland farmers right across the UK and how they're dealing with them. Farming in the hills can be an isolated, even lonely, business. But a group of farmers scattered across the uplands of Shropshire have joined forces to pool ideas.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.With thanks to British Pathé Archive.

Natasha helps Helen pack clothes ahead of moving to 5 The Green. Henry's become very organised, labelling all his boxes, whilst Jack is less helpful. They talk about the dairy and Helen's excitement over expanding her herd. Natasha confesses she's almost jealous of Helen's enthusiasm. Driving to Shropshire, Tom points out the irony of using the money from selling retired Tony's Anguses to buy Montey's from another retired farmer. Helen points out how they're saving money by not having to bring them over from France. They then admire the cows in the field and Helen tries to persuade Tom to buy the full herd of ten. Tom points out their mobile dairy would struggle to handle the extra cows and Helen reluctantly agrees to only buy the six they came for. Later, while chatting over a cup of tea, enthusiastic Natasha confesses she has a new business idea for Bridge Farm, to branch out into Botanicals and organic skincare. It could finance sending the twins to private school. Helen tells her to go for it, if that's what they want to do. When Rex catches Alice at The Stables, they agree neither wants to break up. Rex then apologises for what he said to Brian. Alice doesn't know the specifics, so Rex tells her everything. Recalling their fight on Sunday, Alice says she's inherited the Aldridge habit of lashing out. Rex admits to his own flaws and they agree to put it behind them, before Rex reveals his dad texted him, asking to meet Alice. Would she be up for that?

A new collaboration has been set up between scientists and the fishing industry in Cornwall, to integrate scientific research with the real experience of fishers.
