Podcasts about Wigan

This week's Radical Reformers guest is relational working pioneer, Helen Sanderson, known to us as a leading thinker, researcher and doer on person-centred working. Helen talks about her work setting up Wellbeing Teams in places like Wigan and Thurrock and discusses her ongoing work with the Changing Futures Northumbria team, playing a pivotal role spreading the learning from the great work being done there. This episode includes some very practical examples of what it takes to make person-centred support real. Spoiler alert – it takes a lot of commitment, a lot of effort and the bravery to “work out loud and share what you're learning as you do it”. As with all great minds, Helen flips the script and considers how we change the “what is the matter with you” conversation to “what matters to you”, to deliver services that make a real difference to people's lives. The episode is peppered with the names of some fellow radical reform rebels, so we'd be remiss not to mention them: Hilary Cottam, Mark Smith, Donna Hall and last week's guest, Gary Wallace.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast! The boys start this week's show with a look back at last weekend's Czech Darts Open and discuss whether the world number one Luke Humphries is back to his best after winning the title in Prague, as well as whether Josh Rock is the next first-time PDC major winner after reaching back-to-back European Tour finals. Dave Davies (18:35) calls in to look back on a breakthrough 2025 on the oche. The Welshman reflects on winning the Champion of Champions and his first PDC title on the Challenge Tour last month, as well as his career in the game so far, from switching football for darts, his friendship with the former world champion Mark Webster, representing Wales, and his plans for the rest of the year. Alex and Burton continue the show by reviewing last weekend's PDC Development Tour action in Wigan and pick out the players who caught their eye, before previewing the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam this weekend and choosing the first-round ties they're most looking forward to. Mitchell Lawrie (1:07:58) joins the show to reflect on his recent record-breaking weekend on the WDF circuit. The Scottish teenager discusses his title double in the Welsh Open last month, breaking Luke Littler's record and becoming the youngest winner of the Welsh Open men's title at just 14 years old, his glittering youth career so far winning the WDF Europe Youth Cup boys' singles this summer, topping the JDC Foundation Tour in 2024 and picking up his first Advanced Tour title earlier this year, and his goals for the rest of 2025.

Former Fort William manager Shadab Iftikhar talks to Sean McAngus on the Highland League Podcast.

The signing of overseas players hasn't always meant adding quality to the competition, but this list of the very best certainly did. Although it's fair to say some made much more of an impact than others.For instance, the 'greatest player of all-time', Andrew Johns, made just three appearances for Warrington at the end of the 2005 season, and couldn't lead them to silverware. In the 1980s it was common practice for legendary NRL players to sign short-term contracts in England during the off-season 'Down Under'. More recently, imports have actually made their name in Super League, winning Grand Finals, Challenge Cups and earning recognition as the Man of Steel.Widely regarded as one of the games' finest players, Australian international player and coach, Mal Meninga, joined St Helens for the 1984/85 season and helped them win the Lancashire Cup and Premiership title. While Kiwi centre, Dean Bell, won seven successive Challenge Cup Finals with Wigan, including three as captain, and made such an impact he was the subject of 'This is Your Life' in 1993.Robbie Paul followed his brother Henry to Bradford and lit up the game making rugby league 'cool'. He was named 'Super League Player of the Season' aged just 20, whilst loose-forward Adrian Vowles with Castleford, centre Jamie Lyon at St Helens, full-back Brett Hodgson with Huddersfield and winger and goal-kicking machine Pat Richards at Wigan were all crowned the 'Man of Steel' between 1999 and 2010.Joining Robbie at the Bulls was 'The Volcano', Lesley Vainikolo. The huge New Zealand winger won two Super League titles and three Challenge Cup finals with Bradford scoring 149 tries in 152 games. And more recently, Wigan's Bevan French has really shone in Super League, not only winning silverware, but incredibly being named as 'Player of the Match' in three finals during 2024.So, who will take the accolade as the greatest import of all?

These are the guys who used to play on 'the edge'. In the days when almost everything was considered 'legal', some were employed as enforcers, whilst others never ever took a backward step. Many were just simply fearless, but you'd definitely try and avoid running towards all of them. They are rugby league's hard men. Rugby league was a little bit different in the 1990s. A mainly part-time sport where the attributes of some players could have easily secured themselves alternative employment as bouncers! Such as the charging rhino himself, Barrie McDermott, who used a not so subtle trick to further intimidate his opponents. Or Kelvin Skerrett, who won six Championships and four Challenge Cups with Wigan. The Wales and Great Britain international is the man described as a "dirty get" on Mick Morgan's famous viral commentary. Castleford legend Mal Reilly was just as tough as a coach as he was as a player. When he moved to Manly he used to ask his team-mates who the toughest players on the opposition were so he could target them to gain respect. Later, he coached at Newcastle Knights, where he found out which of his players had the best records on the rowing machine before smashing them all with his own stamina and fitness. He's even got a an intense training drill named after him... the Malcolm! And then there's the likes of Adrian Morley. Known as 'The Enforcer' in Australia, 'Moz' kept his own little black book to keep tabs on opponents who were due a little retribution. He once received a seven-match ban for kneeing an opponent in the chest. However, the ban was expected to be more than double that before a character reference from long-time foe 'Big' Willie Mason described him as "one of the toughest players in the toughest competition in the world" helped his case. There's a fine line between legal and illegal violence in rugby league and often some of these fellas crossed it. Nowadays it would lead to an instant red card, but that doesn't mean hard men don't exist in the sport today. They just go about showing it slightly differently!

The Town returned to winning ways on Tuesday night when they overcame Wigan Athletic 1-0 at Kenilworth Road. Kev is joined in our new studio at Marsh House for the first time by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back at the victory and to look ahead to a huge game against Cardiff City on Saturday. The lads get straight into the 90 minutes with the Latics and the fast start that the Town made, before going through the hairy period of the match. They then look at the better part of the game in terms of the fluency of the home performance and reflect on the better performers in the contest and just where Town are now moving forward. The attention then turns to Cardiff on Saturday, who their main threats are and how the Hatters could line up for the clash. Kev makes a big statement on how Luton can score against the Bluebirds before the chaps give their score predictions. All this and a whole lot more on the longest-running, award-winning Luton Town podcast! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to the team at Marsh House for our new podcast studio.

The 100% start to the season for the Town disappeared when they went down 2-1 to Bradford City at Valley Parade on Saturday. With Jimbo away at the weekend, Kev is joined online by Town fans Dan Barratt-Davis and Mark Crowther to look back on a very poor afternoon for the Hatters on and off the pitch. The boys begin with the Bradford debacle, picking out the areas where it went wrong for Matt Bloomfield and his men before addressing some of the concerns that supporters have about the present situation. The attention then turns towards a massive game on Tuesday night and the threats that Wigan could pose as well as how the boys want and expect the Town to line up for the evening. The podcast concludes with Mark talking about the Trust's latest project – Talking Hatters – and why it is so important and why he is so pleased to be involved in it. All this and much more including the score predictions on the longest-running, award-winning Luton Town podcast! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find us at: https://www.lutontownsupporterstrust.com  Find all the latest Luton Town news at The Lutonian at: https://thelutonian.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like our logo?

fWotD Episode 3026: Battle of Preston (1648) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 17 August 2025, is Battle of Preston (1648).The battle of Preston was fought on 17 August 1648 during the Second English Civil War. A Parliamentarian army commanded by Lieutenant General Oliver Cromwell attacked a considerably larger force of Royalists under James Hamilton, Duke of Hamilton, near the Lancashire town of Preston; the Royalists were defeated with heavy losses.The First English Civil War between Royalist supporters of Charles I and an alliance of Parliamentarian and Scottish forces ended in 1646 with Charles defeated and imprisoned. He continued to negotiate with several factions among his opponents and this sparked the Second English Civil War in 1648. It began with a series of mutinies and Royalist uprisings in England and Wales. Meanwhile, a political struggle in Scotland led to a faction which supported Charles, known as the Engagers, gaining power. The Scots raised an army which crossed into England at Carlisle on 8 July to support the uprisings. Combining with English Royalists they marched south along the west coast road some 24,000 strong. Much smaller Parliamentarian forces fell back in front of them. Cromwell was suppressing uprisings in south Wales with 5,000 men during May and June; he captured the last Royalist stronghold on 11 July and was marching east within a week.Cromwell concentrated 9,000 men in north Yorkshire and crossed the Pennines to fall on the flank of the much larger Royalist army at Preston. Not contemplating that Cromwell would act so recklessly, Hamilton was caught with his army on the march and with large detachments too far away to intervene. A blocking force of about 3,000 English Royalist infantry, many ill-armed and inadequately trained, proved no match for the Parliamentarians, most of whom were well-trained veterans from the New Model Army. After a ferocious hour-long fight these Royalists were outflanked on both sides, which caused them to break. The largest part of the Royalist army, predominately Scottish, was marching south immediately to the rear of this fighting. Most had crossed a bridge over the Ribble, a major river just south of Preston; those still to the north of it were swept away by the Parliamentarian cavalry and either killed or taken prisoner. A second round of prolonged infantry hand-to-hand fighting took place for control of the bridge; the Parliamentarians were again victorious, fighting their way across as night fell.Most of the survivors, nearly all Scottish, were to the south of Preston. Although still at least as strong as the whole Parliamentarian army they fled towards Wigan in a night march. They were hotly pursued and on 19 August were caught and defeated again at the battle of Winwick. Most of the surviving Scots surrendered: their infantry either at Winwick or nearby Warrington, their cavalry on 24 August at Uttoxeter. In the aftermath of the war Charles was beheaded on 30 January 1649 and England became a republic on 19 May.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Sunday, 17 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Battle of Preston (1648) 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 generative Ruth.

After a short spell as a punk rocker, Limahl found fame with the band Kajagoogoo after responding to an advert in a music magazine in 1982, where the then named Art Noveau were looking for a new lead singer. The following year he left the band – but quickly went onto find his own success as a solo artist with his hit “The Never Ending Story”. His early ambitions, growing up in Wigan, were for a career as an actor and he even toured in production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

At first I thought it was somebody standing there having a cig and I was seeing the cigarette light up as he smoked. A little orange light, so I slowed right down and I realised there was nobody there. And I remember thinking who ever it was must have been really tall? At the point where I was thinking this through I got this feeling to look to my right, I did and I saw this pitch black figure in the shadows standing next to the style. I turned to it and just looking at it but it looked like a dog standing up. https://www.facebook.com/DebHatswell/ https://www.youtube.com/@deborahhatswellbbrinv https://www.tiktok.com/@deborahhatswell?_t=ZN-8wZb7xdYibm&_r=1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptids-paranormal-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

Richard is sad about the death of Sly Stone and pays tribute to one of his favorite musical bandleaders of all time. Should Wampler make a new tweaked Tumnus? There was a post in the Wampler Facebook group and Richard challenges Brian with the idea. Richard has an idea for a new video series and Blake is not impressed as he repeats his explanations.

Stuart Maconie – broadcaster, prolific author – has a brilliant and original new perspective on the Beatles. His latest book With A Little Help From Their Friends identifies the 100 people who had the greatest impact on their story, from the inner circle to bit-part players – schoolfriends, girlfriends, managers, muses, support acts, advisors and exploiters.
