Ian from Stockport has had a thought. If heat pumps transfer thermal energy from outside into our homes, will they counteract the relative heat of urban areas compared to the countryside? To get to the bottom of this energy enquiry, James Tytko asked for the expertise of Professor Bob Critoph, from the University of Warwick's School of Engineering. Like this podcast?

On this week's show, the YP's football writing team of Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Phil Harrison to salute the gallant efforts of our League One clubs as they took on Premier League opposition in the third round of the League Cup.Barnsley, Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City all had giant-killing opportunities but, ultimately, it proved beyond them, despite some impressive performances. It is in League One where Yorkshire continues to thrive, though, Bradford City going top of the table after beating leaders Cardiff City, while Barnsley, Huddersfield Town and Doncaster Rovers remain close behind. At the other end of the table, we ask whether there is cause for concern at the New York Stadium after Rotherham United's 1-0 defeat at home to Stockport saw the Millers drop into the bottom three.We salutes Leeds United's first away win of their Premier League season and their first goals from open play since their return to the top-flight.In the Championship Middlesbrough moved four points, while Hull City – at home to Southampton – and Sheffield Wednesday – on the road at Portsmouth – recorded impressive wins. But there are still major causes for concern at Bramall Lane after Chris Wilder's first game in charge saw the Blades extend their losing start to the season to six games, conceding late on to lose 1-0 at home to Charlton. 

On this episode of the Footballco Business Podcast, we're joined by Matt McKie. Currently a Non-Executive Director at Stockport County, Matt has held senior brand and marketing roles at Manchester United, the IOC, Nike and EA Sports. Matt joins us to discuss his work at Stockport County, the importance of community, challenging Wrexham, and why he can't have the next generation of kids growing up in Stockport and following Manchester City. There are also lessons from his time at United, EA Sports and Nike.

Ricky Hatton, known as “The Hitman” and beloved by legions of fans, passed away on 14 September 2025 aged 46. Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Hatton turned professional in 1997, going on to carve out a storied career in the light‐welterweight and welterweight divisions. He captured world titles, most memorably defeating Kostya Tszyu in 2005, and amassed an outstanding record of 45 wins in 48 fights.  Hatton's appeal transcended his ring achievements. His ferocious, all-action style won him dedicated fan support, tens of thousands followed him even across oceans.  Afterwards, he was open about life's battles: depression, substance abuse and the challenge of life once gloves were off. His frankness on mental health made him a powerful figure of empathy in British sport.  Ricky Hatton's legacy will endure, as a warrior in the ring; an everyman who made the extraordinary seem within reach; and a voice for those whose fights happen outside it.

The chances of writing a novel which sells more than 80 million copies are about as remote as a lad from Stockport making it to the NBA, but Dan Brown pulled it off with The Da Vinci Code. That book, like his new novel, delves into literature, symbology, secret societies and so on. None of which were his first passion. Dan Brown's first passion was music - as he reveals in his Inheritance Tracks.Inherited: Todo a Pulmón by Miguel Ríos Passed on: Morning Mood by Edvard GriegProducer: Ben Mitchell

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith have worked together for three decades on the likes of The League of Gentlemen and Inside No. 9. But, despite creating some of television's most twisted characters the pair are, as far as we can tell, relatively normal off-screen - Reece is a keen home-baker and Steve loves a good cryptic crossword.Today John Amaechi is a psychologist and leadership consultant, but in a previous life he was an NBA star. But, John spent most of his childhood in Stockport feeling lonely, bullied for his height and weight, he hated sport. But a chance encounter with a basketball coach in the street that saw this 6'10" teenager stars align.One of Molly Earl's earliest memories as a child is rescuing bees with her amateur beeping father. Today she rescues swarms of bees destined for extermination for a living and has given refuge to millions of bees creating 250 established hives around St Austell - where she turns their efforts into award-winning honey. All that, plus the Inheritance Tracks of The Da Vinci Code author, Dan Brown.Presenter: Adrian Chiles Producer: Ben Mitchell

pWotD Episode 3046: Angela Rayner Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 164,461 views on Wednesday, 3 September 2025 our article of the day is Angela Rayner.Angela Rayner (née Bowen; born 28 March 1980) is a British politician and trade unionist who has served as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government since July 2024. She has been Deputy Leader of the Labour Party since 2020 and Labour and Co-operative Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashton-under-Lyne since 2015. Ideologically she identifies as a socialist and as being part of Labour's soft left.Rayner was born and raised in Stockport, where she attended the comprehensive Avondale School. She left school aged 16 whilst pregnant and without any qualifications. She later trained in social care at Stockport College and worked for the local council as a care worker. She eventually became a trade union representative within Unison, during which time she joined the Labour Party. She was selected to contest Ashton‑under‑Lyne in 2014 and was elected for the seat at the 2015 general election. From 2016 until 2020 Rayner held several Shadow Cabinet positions under Jeremy Corbyn. She successfully stood for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party in 2020, and held further Shadow Cabinet positions under Keir Starmer.Following Labour's victory in the 2024 general election, Rayner entered government and was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government by Starmer in his government. Rayner's strong support base and potential as a future leader led to the New Statesman ranking her as the eighth most powerful person in British left-wing politics for 2023. The Spectator named her Politician of the Year at its annual Parliamentarian of the Year awards ceremony in 2024. Rayner is the second woman to serve as deputy prime minister, after Thérèse Coffey.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:05 UTC on Thursday, 4 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Angela Rayner on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

Two alternative Choose Your Own Adventure pods in one this week - a mammoth deconstruction of another day of doom or, skip to (01:25:55) for a quick 30 seconds of relative positivity.For those with the stomach for it, part one looks at the game itself. A clear mismatch of player capability, aptitude and attitude doesn't give much room for positivity and it's difficult for everyone not to look to bigger themes of summer recruitment, system rigidity and a continued long term cycle of away day challenges. A defense of data cynicism also features: it's not a barrel of laughs…Part 2 looks more deeply at the challenge at hand and the potential approach to the months leading to Christmas. Does everything rest on a huge transfer deadline day or should the club - and the head coach - finally stick and stop waiting for a magical twist. Does the Papa John's or whatever it's called matter? How should we approach Stockport? You decide.Finally, huge thanks to our listeners for sticking with us as well as the team in hard times. Huge shout outs to those of you who have contributed to keep us on air: you know who you are.COYG Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

FIVE NEW businesses to INSPIRE On this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive deep into the world of side hustles and the extraordinary power of simply starting where you are. Sometimes the hardest part isn't skill, money, or opportunity—it's just believing that action will actually lead somewhere. And over the past few months, listeners of this very show have been proving that point with stories that show what's possible when you take an idea and put it into motion. It all began with a simple suggestion: try selling on Facebook Marketplace. It's a place most of us scroll past without thinking too much, but it's also a treasure trove of hidden value. People give things away for free, or at rock-bottom prices, just to get rid of them. And with a bit of imagination, elbow grease, and courage, those things can be turned into income. This episode is filled with the real voices of listeners who heard that advice, tried it for themselves, and discovered just how powerful that one step can be. Take Daniel from Stockport. He never thought side hustles were for him. He worked full time, listened to podcasts, but never acted. Then he heard me talk about broken running machines. People were leaving treadmills out on the curb or listing them online for free, just wanting them gone. That sparked something. Daniel collected one, tinkered with the belt and fuse, and suddenly he had a working machine. He sold it within days for £150. What's remarkable isn't just the money, but the ripple effect. That one sale showed him he wasn't trapped by his day job—he could create value out of nothing. Since then, he's flipped six machines and is building confidence with every sale. Yes, his garage is bursting at the seams, but he's also bursting with momentum. Then there's Rebecca from Melbourne. She's a mum of two who saw an opportunity in toys. She knew from experience how expensive they can be, and how quickly children outgrow them. So she started small with a $20 box of LEGO, cleaned it, sorted it, and turned it into $90 within a week. That snowballed into trampolines, ride-on cars, and playhouses—items people considered junk but that parents snapped up once they were cleaned. Rebecca's had her share of headaches: people not showing up, muddy items needing endless scrubbing, the grind of haggling. But she's now making $300 a week just from flipping toys, proving that side hustles don't need to start big to be impactful. Andre in Bucharest took a different path. He didn't have money to invest, but he had time and determination. He picked up free furniture, sanded it, painted it, and sold it on. A battered wooden dining table turned into £95 profit. Old IKEA cabinets, given new handles and a fresh coat of paint, brought in £180. For Andre, the challenge has been transport—scratched car interiors and the stress of moving bulky furniture—but the reward has been discovering confidence. People loved what he created, and they paid for the uniqueness of an “upcycled” piece. His story reminds us that the barrier isn't resources, it's mindset. Meanwhile, Sarah in Toronto was drowning in kids' clothes, an everyday reality for parents. Instead of donating them like usual, she bundled them into age and season groups and sold them online. They sold within a day. That was the turning point. She reached out to other parents, gathered bags of clothes, and suddenly had more stock than she could handle. The living room looked like a charity shop explosion, but the money started to flow. Last month, she made just under $800, enough to pay down a lingering credit card debt. For Sarah, the issue has been organisation, space, and time. But she realised parents were buying not just clothes—they were buying convenience. She had solved a problem for people, and in doing so, she had solved one of her own. And finally, Colin in Dundee. He thought side hustles were too much hassle, having failed with others before. But when he spotted how many garden tools were being discarded—lawnmowers, strimmers, pressure washers—he decided to take the leap. A petrol mower that wouldn't start cost him a £4 spark plug to repair, and he sold it for £85. Two broken pressure washers bought for £10 each became one working unit that sold for £120, plus spare parts sold separately. The struggles have been messy: mud, oil, endless haggling, and a driveway cluttered with tools. Yet three months in, he's earned nearly £1,000. More importantly, he's regained a sense of purpose. What was once just junk has become a way to prove to himself that he can still create, build, and grow. What all these stories have in common is that they didn't start with grand business plans, large investments, or polished strategies. They started with ordinary people listening to an idea on Join Up Dots and daring to test it. Each person faced their own setbacks: space problems, unreliable buyers, transportation headaches, or sheer lack of confidence. But each one also found a way through. And in finding that way through, they discovered something even more valuable than the money—they discovered belief in themselves. That's the heart of this episode. You don't need to know everything in advance. You don't need to start perfectly. You just need to start. Whether it's a broken treadmill, a pile of LEGO, an old wardrobe, a bag of clothes, or a muddy lawnmower, there's always an opportunity waiting if you're willing to look at it differently. So as you listen, think about what's sitting right in front of you. What's lying around your house unused? What do people in your community throw away without thinking? The stories shared today prove that taking action—any action—is worth more than overthinking the perfect plan. And here's where you can play your part. If these stories have inspired you, if they've made you rethink what's possible for you, then share this episode. Spread it with your friends, family, and anyone who needs that spark of belief. Use the hashtags #JoinUpDots #SideHustleStories #MarketplaceSuccess to keep the conversation moving. Every share might be the nudge that helps someone else see what they're capable of.

Our guest on Episode #70 of the TGG Podcast, in association with Teamworks Intelligence, is Simon Wilson. Simon is the Chief Executive of Stockport County and one of the most experienced football leaders in the UK. At Southampton, he was only the second full-time performance analyst in the country, before joining Manchester City in 2006. His time there coincided with the new ownership of Sheikh Mansour and a period of complete transformation. Simon played a key role in this, first as Head of Analysis, then Strategy and Performance Manager and finally as Director of Football Services for the entire City Football Group. In this latter role, Simon designed, built and delivered the club's global multi-club operation.  After a short spell as Chief Football Officer at Sunderland, Simon joined Stockport County in 2020 and has masterminded their climb through the divisions. In February 2025, he was promoted from Director of Football to Chief Executive. In this Episode, Simon told us about his career journey, about his pivotal work at Manchester City and about Stockport's seven-year plan.

About 10 years ago I was roaming along Red Bank in a part of Manchester city centre I was hopelessly unfamiliar with. On either side of me were tall stone walls topped with railway bridges, boxing me in and hiding the sun from view. Not another soul was to be seen. I sincerely hoped I was in the right place. Thankfully, a few moments later, I was met by a smiling face that had emerged from a red door in the side of one of these dark, Mancunian trenches. Here was Mark Welsby, the founder of The Runaway Brewery and soon he was leading me on a quick tour and tasting. Although it was a while ago, I still remember being thoroughly impressed, especially with his sweet, chewy and resinous American Brown Ale.As the years passed I got to know Mark increasingly well, especially after I relocated to Manchester myself in 2020. But more recently we've become very familiar, as in 2023 he moved Runaway to Stockport, opening a small brewery and taproom a mere 10 minute stroll from my own front door. This means that rarely a week goes by without me bumping into him or his wife and business partner Sam, because the space they've built in Stockport is wonderful, and the beer is tasting better than ever.Located in a former metalworks, opposite Stockport's brand new £140 million bus terminal and right on the banks of the River Mersey as it begins its journey westwards to Liverpool, Runaway has built a space the local community can be proud of. Featuring seating across two levels, twelve beers on tap (including two on cask) and pizza from another excellent local business, Honest Crust, in a roundabout way, it's a shining symbol of Stockport's continuing redevelopment. But more than that, it's a sign of Mark's intent. When the brewery moved here in April 2023, he signed a 10 year lease. This is where the next stage of this brewery's development is to be, and it's here for the long haul. In the latest episode of the Pellicle Podcast—and as part of a wider, more concerted effort to focus on what's happening within the Manchester Beer Scene—I chat to Mark about the origins, and first decade of The Runaway Brewery, before discussing what it means to have relocated, after embedding itself within the Stockport community.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

Georgina in Stockport & Mel in Tywyn stepped out of their comfort zone and gave it a go!

Known to many as Kayleigh in Peter Kay's Car Share, Sian Gibson joins Kylie Pentelow to discuss her hit BBC comedy The Power of Parker which returns for a second series this week. Sian co-wrote and stars in the series as Kath, a mobile hairdresser by trade and the devoted mistress of her sister's husband. Set around the fortunes of the Parker family's electrical shop in 1990s Stockport, the next instalment sees a shift of power between the trio of Kath, her sister Diane and the object of their affection, Martin Parker.If you open the website for online retailer Shein, a pop-up immediately appears offering a ‘special deal' just for you. But are these savings what they seem? Yesterday the EU told the Chinese fast-fashion website that these discounts, as well as other pressure-selling tactics on its website, infringe EU consumer law and they've given Shein one month to respond or face fines. Mitch Labiak, senior business journalist for the BBC, explains more.Argentinian author Agustina Bazterrica's novel Tender is the Flesh became a worldwide sensation, with sales of over half a million copies in the English translation alone. She talks about her most recent novel, The Unworthy, which is set post-climate apocalypse in a walled sanctuary known as the Sacred Sisterhood. But is it a refuge from the disease and violence that exist outside its walls or a dangerous prison for the women who live there?Announcements of cuts to foreign aid this year from both the UK government and US government, amongst others, have left many organisations facing funding issues and putting their programmes at risk. As humanitarian crises continue across the world, including in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, with many vulnerable people suffering including women and girls, the need to provide aid remains as high as ever. Dr Helen Pankhurst, Senior Advisor on Gender Equality for Care International UK, and Sofia Calltrop, the UN Women Chief of Humanitarian Aid, discuss the effects of these cuts on women and girls globally and the importance of gender equality programming.Since Labour has come to power, there's been a number of issues that have divided the party. From tax rises to whether it should be a two or three-child benefit cap, the tension has been tangible. And with accusations of briefings against female cabinet ministers, what impact is this Labour in-fighting having on women in the party? We spoke to chief political commentator for the I paper, Kitty Donaldson, and UK politics commentator for Bloomberg, Rosa Prince.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Kirsty Starkey

It's been a fallow period for Mr Elis James. The one time leading light of Cymru Connecting has faltered. Boy wonder no more. With 5 failures in his past 6 outings, everyone is asking "has his star fallen?" Will he become like Adel Taraabt, a mere “the streets won't forget” connector of unfulfilled promise?Today he tries to arrest the descent and rectify his mid-season slump.There's a lot else flying around the show today as well. The ruthless competition of the Stockport kids entertainer is examined, Elis watches pigs have an awful lot of sex at a farm, and John wants to head the podcast's efficiency department. Back later in the week when John has actually been to Margate.Go check out the old bonus Bureau de Change of the Mind episodes on BBC Sounds whilst you're here as well.For all your correspondence it's elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp for those of you who prefer app-based communication.

Choreographer Sir Wayne McGregor is one of the most acclaimed, innovative and influential figures in contemporary dance. His works are often the result of creative collaborations with artists, musicians, filmmakers, or with scientists to explore technological issues. In 2006 he was appointed as Resident Choreographer at the Royal Ballet. He has created more than 20 new works at Covent Garden in that time, including Chroma, set to music by Joby Talbot and The White Stripes, and Woolf Works, a full-length ballet based on the life and writings of Virginia Woolf. More recently, McGregor brought the post-apocalyptic vision of Margaret Atwood to the stage in his ballet MaddAddam, based on the writer's acclaimed trilogy of novels. He has worked as a movement director on films including Harry Potter Goblet Of Fire and Mary Queen Of Scots, collaborated with bands including Radiohead and Chemical Brothers, and choreographed the virtual concert, ABBA Voyage. In October 2025, Somerset House in London will mount a landmark exhibition dedicated to McGregor's trailblazing collaborations that have radically defined how we think about performance, movement, and the body. Having won numerous awards, including two Oliviers, Sir Wayne McGregor was knighted in 2024.Wayne McGregor talks to John Wilson about his childhood in Stockport, where he took dance classes and was inspired by John Travolta's moves in Saturday Night Fever. He recalls the house and techno music of the late 80s when he was a student, and how the freedom of expression he felt on nightclub dance-floors informed his style of choreography. Whilst living in New York after leaving university, Wayne came across an open-air performance by the legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham, whose company was dancing to live music conducted by the avant-garde composer John Cage. It was a chance encounter that had a profound impact on McGregor. He also discusses how science and technology has been a major thematic influence on much of his work in recent years, and how AI has been used to create new works through analysis of physical movement and artistic expression.Producer Edwina Pitman

Canadian police say a suspect detained after a car was driven at high-speed into festivalgoers in Vancouver had suffered mental health problems. The interim police chief told a news conference that the number of people killed had risen to 11. Dozens more were hurt at the Filipino street festival on Saturday. He said many unanswered questions remained after what he called the darkest day in Vancouver's history. Canada's political leaders say the country is united in grief. Voters go to the polls on Monday in a general election.Also in the programme: we hear about life in Mandalay, one month after Myanmar's massive earthquake; and an unusual tribute to singer David Bowie- a memorial plaque in the northern English town of Stockport will honour the night he missed his train home after a gig in 1970 and fell asleep at the station.(Photo: A man places tributes on a fence, the morning after a vehicle was driven into a crowd at a Filipino community Lapu Lapu party, in Vancouver, Canada April 27, 2025.

George is a native of Stockport, birthplace of The Renaissance, and so it is little wonder he has chosen that very topic for this week's episode. Are we on the cusp of another renaissance? Might we be better of with a de-renaissance to make everything simpler just for a bit. It's chunky fodder to be sure so why not let the beans mince it down smooth for you while you expend your mental energy on inventing whatever it is that will eventually replace the pendulum.With thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.Join our PATREON for ad-free episodes and bonus/video episodes: www.patreon.com/threebeansaladTickets for Henry's work in progress show at Machynlleth Comedy Festival: https://machcomedyfest.co.uk/show/2025/henry-paker/Tickets for Ben's film screening in Manchester: https://www.seetickets.com/tour/daddy-superior-screening-q-a-with-ben-partridgeTickets for our UK TOUR available here: https://littlewander.co.uk/tours/three-bean-salad-podcast/Merch now available here: www.threebeansaladshop.comGet in touch: threebeansaladpod@gmail.com @beansaladpodMusic credit courtesy of epidemicsound.com:Weekly/The Fly Guy Five

After back-to-back wins that have seen Manchester City take a commanding position in the race for the top four/five and make it into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, David Mooney is joined by Nick Clarke from the MCFC Fans Foodbank Support group and by Dom Farrell from Sporting News to review the week. With supporters protesting against the club's ticket partnerships and policies, they look at the action that was taken during the opening nine minutes of the win over Leicester and what is hoped it will achieve in the coming weeks and months. After a good performance in the centre of the pitch, we discuss what role Jack Grealish can have between now and the end of the season, plus it was a big week for Nico O'Reilly, after he changed the game at Bournemouth and followed that up by performing very well in midweek. And, with the Manchester Derby on the horizon, we preview that match - and look back to some local derbies that City have NEVER played in the Premier League. We'll hear from fans of Bury, Macclesfield and Stockport with their memories of visits to Maine Road. On top of all of that... what's the most audacious goal City have scored? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Huge news in Elis and John towers today, for Producer Dave bumped into the man, the myth, the Solero supper himself, Mr Tim Davie. Could he use this opportunity to pitch a brand new true crime podcast about dupes from Stockport who get sold fake shoes? Well that commission's ripe for the taking if there's a Magnum that goes the other way.Alongside yet more DG discussion Elis really thinks he should get into juggling, for some inexplicable reason, and we have a game which makes the greatest use of a beat since the invention of the bass drum.

What's the right age to give a child a mobile phone? How long should kids spend on screens each day? Why don't we need to feel as guilty about our children's phone use as we might think? Answering all these questions is the awesome neuroscientist Dean Burnett. He explains the difference between compulsion and addiction, and why he doesn't think Australia's plan to ban social media for under 16s is a good idea. We look at tricky issues like explicit content, cyberbullying, and the effect of staring at a screen on kids' eyesight - and find out what we can do about them. Dean tells us how long his own children spend on screens each day, and we are relieved. Along with giving us some tips on dealing with teens, Dean reveals how we can stave off the brain fog that comes with age. We end with some Scummy Mummy Confessions involving dirty pants, the Miami International Psychedelics Convention, and a packet of ham. And keep listening right to the end for some very strong language as we learn the Welsh term for "jellyfish". Dean's brilliant books, Why Your Parents Are Driving You Up The Wall And What You Can Do About It and Why Your Parents Are Hung Up On Your Phone And What To Do About It are out now.
