Fright Bites - EP07 - Hard Shoulder tells the unsettling story of a late-night drive along the M6 near Wigan, where a lone figure standing on the hard shoulder became something far more disturbing. Just after midnight, with the motorway almost empty, a driver noticed what appeared to be a middle-aged woman in a light-coloured coat standing by the barrier. There was no car, no hazard lights, and no sign of distress — just a silent figure watching the traffic pass.As the driver slowed and passed, the woman turned and looked directly at them, her expression calm, almost expectant. Moments later, checking the rear-view mirror revealed nothing. The hard shoulder was empty. No movement. No sign anyone had been there. Weeks later, a colleague revealed that reports of a woman seen on that exact stretch of motorway had circulated for years, linked to a fatal accident where a stranded motorist had been struck and killed.This Fright Bites episode explores a classic roadside apparition — a fleeting encounter that leaves more questions than answers. If you're drawn to true paranormal stories, ghost sightings, mysterious phenomena, and scary stories rooted in real experiences, Hard Shoulder delivers a quiet but deeply unsettling encounter on a deserted motorway.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/haunted-uk-podcast-ghosts-paranormal-and-the-unexplained--6759967/support.

Where did the term 'Derby Match' come from? How did it become so widely used? And is the St Helens versus Wigan match the 'Original' Derby? This week's 'Rugby Reloaded' delves back into history to discover why matches between local rival teams are dubbed Derbies and asks how much substance is there to the claim that Saints against Wigan is the daddy of all Derbies. It's an intriguing story that takes us back to the 1700s and all the way to present day via ploughing, go-karts and TV's Kevin Brown. Intrigued? It's more interesting than you think!

Vegas for Leigh? Parramatta DUO Offered and KR vs Wigan Dilemma... EP 14 The Love Rugby League podcast is back for another episode and there's plenty to get stuck into after another big week in the sport. Aaron and Matt discuss the latest twist in the race for Super League's next trip to Las Vegas, with Leigh Leopards emerging as surprise contenders to face Bradford after Hull FC and St Helens appeared to distance themselves from the States fixture. The boys also react to reports that two Parramatta Eels players, Dylan Walker and Bailey Simonsson, have been offered to Super League clubs for next season, debating where they could fit and whether either would be smart business. There's also a look ahead to a fascinating fortnight between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR, who meet in the league before going head-to-head again in the Challenge Cup Final – but do either side rest players, or go full strength in search of a psychological edge? And finally, with a growing number of low-quality contests this season, Aaron and Matt ask the big question: has Super League become too hard to watch at times? Learn more about your ad choices.

The next PM may be decided in a by-election near Wigan. That could be problematic for both the voters of Makerfield and the electorate at large. Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell look at what the Burnham drama could mean for Britain as a whole, as national and local politics collide in Labour's latest psychodrama. Talking of local politics, they also venture to Worcestershire, where a rainbow coalition has formed to sideline some (allegedly) useless Reform councillors ... much to the chagrin of Conservative Central Office. And, in an attempt to escape the 'localm' for a few minutes, they pick some holidays ... that they wouldn never go on. Very Quiet Riot, that one. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** • That excellent Substack on Farage's millions by David Howarth  https://drhow.substack.com/p/farages-5-million?triedRedirect=true • The elections report from Make Votes Matter • Alex's fabulous ⁠Podyssey⁠ series • Arthur Snell's Syrian deep-dive on ⁠Behind The Lines⁠ • Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠quietriotpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Or visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.quietriotpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Brought to you by Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell.

Women are being forced to turn to loan sharks due to a "hidden" but devastating form of economic abuse, according to new research. Scottish Women's Aid has published a study on the problem of coerced debt – where an abusive current or ex-partner builds up debt in their victim's name, either without consent or knowledge or through force, threat or coercion. Anita Rani is joined by Dr Jenn Glinski, author of the report and the national policy lead for economic abuse at Scottish Women's Aid, to talk about the report findings.Menopause can be challenging for many women, but for those with ADHD, the experience can often feel like life is completely unravelling. For some women in their 40s, 50s and 60s it can also be the first time they realise they may have ADHD, as fluctuating hormones amplify their challenges with sleep, mood, attention and overwhelm. GP and Menopause expert Dr Helen Wall joined Anita to talk about her new book Menopause and ADHD, which aims to debunk some of the myths and support women navigating the combination.A new medical device to assist at birth is now in use in eight NHS trusts in the UK and 40 hospitals in the whole of Europe. The OdonAssist can replace forceps in many situations and is a much gentler way to deliver a baby which is stuck in the birth canal. NHS Specialist registrar Dr Emily Hotton has worked on the UK clinical trials. She describes how the device works and why it can give a much better outcome for both mothers and babies.M&S has announced that following a successful trial they are ditching the measuring tape for bra fittings. Other underwear retailers have done this for years, but how does it work fitting a bra by eye? Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, Professor of Biomechanics at Portsmouth University, and virtual bra fitter Katie Weir join Nuala McGovern to discuss. Canwen Xu was born in China and moved to the US when she was two years old. She grew up in predominately white areas – North and South Dakota and Idaho. When she was 18 she gave a TEDx talk, titled, I Am Not Your Asian Stereotype, which has been watched more than 3.7 million times. Canwen joins Anita to discuss her debut novel - Boring Asian Female – and its themes of identity, ambition, failure, and obsession.Love it or dread it, flat-pack furniture tests us all.

Abdul Halim Khan, 54, was described as having abused the trust and authority that came with his position to carry out attacks against seven victims from the local Muslim community between 2005 and 2014. Presenter Anita Rani is joined by BBC Religion editor, Aleem Maqbool, and Aisha K Gill, a professor of criminology at the University of Bristol and expert witness in the case. Love it or dread it, flat-pack furniture tests us all. But for Hayley McAuley from Wigan, it's a sport - she's just defended her title as Flatpack World Champion and tells presenter Anita Rani how she did it.The Government wants to change how women are sentenced, with new courts designed to keep them out of prison and stop them reoffending. Instead, women must commit to change and have regular check ins with a judge. They are called intensive supervision courts and the first is already running in Birmingham, now ministers want to roll them out more widely. We hear from Joy Doal of the women's centre Anawim, who helped set up the pilot, and criminologist Professor Simon Pemberton on whether they really work.We meet the award-winning farmer running free workshops where food starts in the field, not a packet. Milly Fyfe has just been named Farming Woman of the Year at the National Women in Agriculture Awards. Her business, Countryside Kitchen, provides free workshops to show children how to shake cream to turn it into butter and teaches them exactly where their burgers and chicken nuggets come from.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Mark Neale, founder and chief executive of Mountain Warehouse - the outdoor clothing company - joins Will Bain for this episode of Big Boss Interview to discuss how conflict in the Middle East, tariff volatility and UK economic policy are affecting retailers and the wider economy.Disruption to global shipping routes is already pushing up costs for businesses importing goods from Asia. Prior to the latest US/Isarael war against Iran ,attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea had effectively closed the Suez Canal to many freight ships for nearly a year, forcing cargo to travel around the Horn of Africa instead. That detour adds roughly two weeks to delivery times and significantly increases freight costs. Neale says companies have built greater resilience into supply chains since the pandemic, but sustained disruption in from the latest conflict will eventually feed through into higher prices if the situation continues.Trade policy is creating further uncertainty due to the impact of American tariffs. Neale questions what such tariff policies are designed to achieve, arguing that no realistic trade regime is going to bring garment manufacturing back to the United States. He also says they've tried diversify away from Chinese made clothes as a result.The interview also examines the state of the UK economy. Neale argues the country has lost “the best part of a year of growth” because the government repeatedly emphasised how broken parts of the country were — from the NHS to the economy — without setting out a clear positive vision for growth. When the new administration arrived, he says, inflation and interest rates were already beginning to fall and there were early signs of recovery emerging. Neale compares the situation to a new chief executive taking over a struggling company: you acknowledge the problems, but you also need to rally the workforce with a plan.Hiring and labour regulation are another concern. Neale describes the government's proposed Employment Rights Bill as “the let's make it more difficult for people to get a job Bill”, warning that additional regulation may make businesses more cautious when recruiting. With around a million people in the UK currently out of work due to long-term sickness, he argues that policies which increase perceived hiring risk could make it harder for people trying to re-enter the workforce to get an opportunity.Competition for jobs is already intense. When Mountain Warehouse opened a new store in Wigan, 493 people applied for just ten roles, including more than 100 applicants for the store manager position alone. Neale says that when employers face such large applicant pools alongside stricter employment rules, they are more likely to choose the safest candidate — potentially shutting out those who most need a chance.Presenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Sean and Will start the show 01:45 Mark Neale joins BBI 02:28 From rollerblades to Mountain Warehouse 08:17 Freight concerns & Middle East disruption 11:38 Diversifying supply chain away from China 17:44 Government stamping out green shoots of recovery & lost year of growth 25:39 Employment Rights Bill impact & unintended consequences for hiring 29:33 De minimis, ideal high street & long-term confidence

IT'S HAPPENING, IT'S OFFICIALLY HAPPENING - SOUND THE PLAY-OFF CLAXON!Mark and Archie reconvene minutes after the full-time whistle at Wigan to discuss yet another Argyle victory – making it five from the last six. And now the two can actually begin to ask, or perhaps not even dare to dream, the very real possibility of a Wembley visit.It's a joyous and slightly rambling affair, and not even an interrupting workman can detract from what was not only a fantastic result, but a fantastic set of results elsewhere, leaving Argyle four points off fifth and three off sixth.There's yet more love for Bim Pepple, who bags again to become Argyle's top scorer of the season in the process, incredibly. The pair also spend time marvelling at the wonder that is Herbie Kane, who was outstanding once more – though in truth there wasn't a single Argyle player below a 7/10. There's also talk of a goal-of-the-season contender, referring to the silky team move for Argyle's second. Injuries are the only dampener, with Sorinola and Harding falling foul of the injury crisis.The pair finally touch on the looming six-pointer (or must-not-lose) against Reading, and even a Ben Waine shout-out after his FA Cup heroics.It's a short, possibly not very succinct pod, as the two marvel at what is honestly becoming a ridiculous season – one which now carries the very real possibility of a Wembley trip at the end of it.We may not make the top 6, but with 5th place now just 4 points away, and the wind of momentum very much in the sails of the good ship Mayflower, there's no denying that IT'S ON.COYG Hosted on Acast.

If you thought the last game was weird, what did you make of this one? On paper a comfortable win; on viewing and reviewing, at least two of the points feel a little stolen. Tom is joined by Alex and Chris to discuss.A midfield-less first half hour leads to sustained pressure and a high-quality Doncaster opener. But this is a different side to the Argyle that melted under pressure in 2025, and an equaliser from nothing almost provided a platform for a half-time lead. Credit to the flexibility of some senior players, the manager for the tactical changes, and of course to the irrepressible Bim Pepple for another goal and another stellar performance. Even a saved penalty doesn't feel as TYPICAL as it once did, and the traditional 60-minute substitutions really worked and started to turn the screw. A lucky goal or a perfect delivery, but either way a fit (or less injured) Kane, a confident Dale and a reshuffle: eventually 2-1 felt like a fair result.Part Two starts with more kudos for the women's team, with some huge six-pointers and a cup final coming up. And a huge run of games for the men, with Wigan preceding some massive six-pointers that could make or break a late play-off push. And – a quiz! It's been a while. Great to be in an environment that doesn't feel like laughing at a funeral.COYG Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

New series. Eight years deep. Same nonsense. We're kicking things off with a belter… Pascal Chimbonda and trust us, he delivers. Perhaps the most laid-back man in the world, but my word he's got some stories. Rocking up at Wigan without speaking a word of English, his time there was eventful on and off the pitch. A brilliant debut season saw him earn a shock call-up to France's World Cup squad but it all ended in dramatic fashion when he handed in a transfer request in the dressing room straight after the final game of the season. With front-row seats for Zidane's infamous headbutt, we find out exactly what Wigan's Pascal Chimbonda says to French legend Zizou after he's potentially cost him a World Cup winners' medal. Dubbed Roy Keane's “worst ever signing”, we dig into what really went wrong between them and along the way hear plenty of stories about being pinned up by Big Dunc, Jimmy Bullard's antics, and sharing a dressing room with Browny at Doncaster.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header in Wigan!   The boys start off the show with a look back at this week's ProTour action which saw Chris Dobey and Luke Humphries win their first titles of the season.   New PDC tour card holder Carl Sneyd (19:05) joins the show ahead of making his European Tour debut in Krakow this weekend. 'Bomber' chats through his journey in darts so far, from calling time on his rugby league playing days and picking up darts, rising through the ranks at a local level and then a breakthrough title on the Challenge Tour last year, which saw him earn multiple call ups to the PDC ProTour as a top-up player, before securing his first-ever PDC tour card at UK Q-School last month.   New PDC referee Owen Binks (56:13) calls in ahead of his PDC European Tour debut as a referee at the Poland Darts Open this weekend. Owen reflects on the last few years, from how a phone call from the legendary referee George Noble led to him becoming a regular referee on the MODUS Super Series, to learning how to be a spotter and earning a call up to spot for Sky Sports, and then taking on a new role as a PDC referee on stage this year following George's retirement last month.   Join the Darts Strava King group on Strava *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

Arsenal step away from Premier League pressure and into the FA Cup — and for 45 minutes, it looks effortless.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, we break down the 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic, where four first-half goals settled the tie early and allowed Mikel Arteta to rotate heavily. We discuss the starting XI surprises, Calafiori's latest warm-up withdrawal, and the long-anticipated experiment of Bukayo Saka operating centrally.There's a deep dive into the first-half performance — Eze's influence, the combinations between Saka and Madueke, Martinelli's clinical finish, and Nørgaard's standout display. Was this simply lower-league opposition being exposed, or did we see tactical clues for the weeks ahead?We also assess the second-half slowdown, Gyökeres' introduction, and the home debuts for Salmon and Setford — moments that reflect squad depth and internal culture.From there, attention turns to the FA Cup draw. Mansfield away awaits, Manchester City travel to Newcastle, and the pathway opens slightly — but questions remain.Part two shifts into bigger concerns. We address Arsenal's mounting injury issues — recurring patterns, squad construction, recovery methods, and whether the modern game is shortening careers at the top level. Is this bad luck, load management, or something structural?Finally, we preview the trip to Wolves. With Odegaard and others doubtful, does Saka stay central? Is this the moment for a tactical pivot? And with Arsenal chasing control at the top of the table, is this simply a must-win — or a tone-setter for the run-in?All that, plus this week's “Who Am I?” featuring a 1971 double winner.Control restored — but bigger questions are building.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - FA Cup Context: Rotation & Calafiori Warm-Up Injury(03:47) - Saka Central?(06:01) - Eze's First-Half Influence(09:35) - 1–0 | Madueke Finished, Eze Assist(10:51) - 2–0 | Martinelli Rifles It Home(12:30) - 3–0 | Own Goal & Saka–Madueke Link-Up(15:25) - 4–0 | Jesus Scores, Nørgaard Delivers(17:36) - Second-Half Coast & Gyökeres Chance(19:15) - Home Debuts: Salmon & Setford(22:30) - Match Stats Breakdown(23:57) - FA Cup Draw: Mansfield Away & City at Newcastle(30:39) - PT.2 Who Am I?

Answer & Closing Thoughts

In this episode we look back at the 4-0 win over Wigan in the FA Cup 4th round on Sunday. It looked like we were going to see Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield, but a late rejig saw Bukayo Saka play there instead. There's a lot of discussion of him in that position, and whether it's something we might, or indeed should, see more of between now and the end of the season. We discuss the flurry of goals we scored in the first half, the contribution of Eberechi Eze with two assists, a firing forward line, and the way the rest of the game played out with some interesting young cameos in the second half. There are also listener questions about Cristhian Mosquera, Ethan Nwaneri's unsettled situation in Marseille, Ben White and Christian Norgaard, injuries in the warm-ups, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogAlso, if you're a fan of the show, please leave us a rating/review on your favourite podcast app, it'd be greatly appreciated!

We also assess the latest injury updates on Calafiori and Odegaard, potential timelines, and how Arsenal may need to adapt if either misses upcoming fixtures.There's also a deep dive into the attacking experiment featuring Madueke, Saka and Eze — why it worked, what it changes tactically, and whether this could be a glimpse into Arsenal's future attacking setup.

Arsenal Injury BLOW Confirmed?! Wigan Athletic Preview, One Player Returns & More!Arsenal could be facing another injury blow, but there is also positive news with one key player set to return ahead of the clash with Wigan Athletic. Mikel Arteta's squad faces rotation decisions, fitness concerns, and an important opportunity as the Gunners prepare for their next test.In today's episode of The Gooner Talk, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down the latest injury situation, who could be missing, and what the potential blow means for squad depth and selection. We also preview Arsenal vs Wigan Athletic, looking at predicted lineups, rotation options, tactical expectations, and the importance of managing minutes during a demanding period.With the chance for returning players to make an impact, and potential opportunities for squad and academy names, this is your full match build-up, injury update, and Arsenal news round-up.

Arsenal leave West London with a point — but far more questions than answers.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables, we break down the 1–1 draw at Brentford and ask whether Arsenal are drifting away from the identity that made them so dominant. With Manchester City applying pressure in the title race, this was a night that demanded control. Instead, it became another conversation about long balls, lost fluency, and a worrying lack of sustained chance creation.We analyse the starting XI, the impact of key absences, and how the tactical approach shaped the first half. Is “Long Ball FC” becoming more than just frustration? Are Arsenal overthinking matches against teams they should be imposing themselves on? And what does this style shift say about the manager's current priorities?There's a deep dive into the Eberechi Eze debate — recruitment vs role — and whether he's being used in a way that suits his strengths. Then we unpack the second-half momentum swing: Odegaard's introduction, the return of familiar patterns, and Madueke's header that briefly felt like the breakthrough moment.But control evaporated. We examine the throw-in equaliser, the defensive lapses, and the concerning injury situation around Odegaard. Why was he left on? What did it cost Arsenal structurally? And how much did fatigue and squad rotation play into the late chaos?We close Part 1 with the bigger picture — xG, chance creation trends, and the uncomfortable truth about title-winning standards. Can you win a league without a 20-goal forward? And what actually is Arteta's football right now?Part 2 covers managerial sackings across the league, concerns around Ethan's loan situation, another controversial VAR weekend in MW26, and a look ahead to the FA Cup tie against Wigan — a potential reset moment before Wolves.The title race isn't over. But identity, control and attacking clarity now feel like the decisive battlegrounds.Set Piece FC rolls on — but can Arsenal rediscover themselves in time?Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:01) - Brentford Context, Starting XI Reaction & Injury Concerns(03:03) - Long Ball FC Returns(09:00) - Eberechi Eze Debate: Role or Recruitment Issue?(14:27) - Half-Time Shift: Odegaard Changes the Game(16:59) - 0–1 | Madueke's Header & Momentum(19:28) - Back to Long Balls & Control Lost(21:08) - 1–1 | Throw-In Chaos & Odegaard Injury Scare(24:25) - Why Was Odegaard Left On?(27:51) - Late Chances(31:05) - Stats, Chance Creation & Title-Winning Standards(33:12) - Identity Crisis: What Is Arteta's Football?(36:21) - PT.2 Managerial Sackings: Spurs & Forest(41:23) - Ethan Loan Concerns(45:17) - VARse MW26: Chelsea, City & Officiating Standards(51:55) - Wigan FA Cup Preview(01:00:27) - Final Thoughts: February, Injuries & Title Belief
