The latest Bred a Blue podcast is with Tony Grant. Grant came through the Everton ranks to make 79 Senior-Team appearances and speaks frankly and openly about his time with the Club. For example, the night he made his debut away at Newcastle United, when Barry Horne and Earl Barrett were both sent off and how only his second start in the side was at Wembley! He also recalls the time he was offered a new contract only to find out that the manager had been sacked when he turned up at Bellefield to put pen to paper! Grant also discusses his frustration at various managers signing players to play in his position and he reminisces about the only period in his Everton career when he actually felt like a regular. He reveals what he'd “do differently if I had my time again” and rates the best players he played with at Everton. The podcast also covers his coaching experiences as assistant to Robbie Fowler in India, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Tony Grant was a gifted footballer, always good to watch. He's good to listen to as well!

In this episode, Sam's guest is Dr Travis Kemp.Travis is a Consultant Organisational, Counselling, Exercise and Sport and Coaching Psychologist as well as Adjunct Professor in the School of Business at the University of South Australia. He was a member of the original Faculty of the world's first university-based Coaching Psychology program at the University of Sydney, co-author (with Tony Grant and Michael Cavanagh) of the world's first evidence based coaching psychology text, a foundation committee member of the world's first coaching psychology interest group within the Australian Psychological Society and a contributor to the world's first set of Workplace Coaching Standards for Standards Australia.

Gavin McCann is one of those rare breed of footballers who left Everton and later represented his country. Our latest Bred a Blue guest played 11 times under Howard Kendall during the frenetic 1997/98 season, before leaving for Sunderland where he flourished and was selected by Sven Goran Eriksson for an England international against Spain. McCann speaks about the experience of playing against the likes of Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique, Iker Casillas and Raul – quipping that "they had an El Classico a week later so I think they were only at 50 per cent." The Blackpool-born midfielder also recalls his early days at Everton when he was under the tutelage of Everton legends like John Hurst and Jimmy Gabriel, and how Neville Southall was especially good to him. McCann's first-team debut came at Newcastle United in September 1997 when he replaced Tony Grant late in the game, but his abiding memory is that, "Slav (Bilic) got sent-off and had a cigarette in the shower, there was smoke everywhere!" Unable to break through on a regular basis, "Earl Barret did me in training and I cracked my ankle and missed a load of games," McCann signed for Peter Reid at Sunderland and had later spells with Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers. He can name Kendall, Reid, David O'Leary and Martin O'Neill amongst his managers and he's currently a coach at Northern Premier League outfit Hyde United, where former Everton Academy and Under-21 player Manasse Mampala is one of his players.

The Greek central bank forecasts an end to six years of recession and Mark Lowen, in Athens, talks of the resilience of the Greek people and their love of life. Reasons to be cheerful in the eastern German city of Leipzig too: Chris Bowlby's there talking to locals about a huge transport project ready after lengthy delays; Susie Emmett sees signs of energy, ingenuity, integrity and community in Kenyan farming but is less impressed by the colour of her bath water and James Fletcher is grounded by an Arctic storm while out news gathering in Greenland.

Milton Nkosi recalls the risks taken to keep the name of Nelson Mandela alive in the townships during his long years of imprisonment; Hamilton Wende on what it was like, as a white South African, growing up in a country where even talking of Mr Mandela could be dangerous and James Robbins on the long-awaited day when the man who went on to lead the country was freed from prison and appeared before a jubilant crowd in Cape Town.
