Podcasts about Wigan

In this week's episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan look back on a dramatic weekend of Super League and NRL preliminary-final action, with two new teams booking their places in the Super League Grand Final.They begin with Warrington Wolves' dramatic victory over Leeds Rhinos, which was decided by a controversial late penalty after George Williams was taken out while chasing a kick. Martyn and Jake discuss the decision, the resulting penalty goal and whether Warrington deserved to get the crucial call. They then turn to the biggest surprise of the weekend as Wakefield Trinity stunned Wigan Warriors to reach their first-ever Super League Grand Final. The pair discuss Adam Keighran's yellow card, the impact it had on the game and what it means for Super League to have Warrington and Wakefield contesting the Grand Final.Over in the NRL, they review the Sydney Roosters' win over the Dolphins and the Newcastle Knights' incredible victory over the Penrith Panthers, which sent Newcastle into their first Grand Final since 2001. The Knights' victory came at a huge cost, however, with Nathan Cleary suffering a serious leg injury following the tackle from Phoenix Crossland. Martyn and Jake discuss the incident, Crossland's red card and whether he should face a suspension for the Grand Final. Crossland has since been referred to the NRL Judiciary. They also provide an update on the ongoing NRL–RFL negotiations before giving their predictions for the Super League and NRL Grand Finals.

Lee and Jamie chat through the unbelievable 33-6 victory over Wigan Warriors to book a place in their FIRST EVER SUPER LEAGUE GRAND FINAL!

Indie music didn't start in a damp Manchester rehearsal room with a bunch of miserable lads wearing oversized raincoats. It was pinched straight from Motown. In this episode, Andrew Culture and Dr Sam trace the line connecting Detroit's assembly lines, Peckham bedrooms, and sweaty, talcum-powdered floors in Wigan to show how Northern Soul accidentally birthed British indie, Britpop, and baggy culture. We cover: The Peckham militant who ran a Motown fan club, bought records for Paul McCartney, and told Mick Jagger to jog off. Why Barry Gordy tried to destroy every copy of a song that later sold for £100,000. How The Smiths, The Charlatans, and Soft Cell basically owe their entire careers to American soul B-sides. 7:50AM end-of-night rituals and the birth of UK music tribalism.

What happens when some of the darkest moments of your life eventually become fuel for making other people laugh?Jimmy O'Neill, better known as The Wigan Joker, joins me for a raw, funny and at times incredibly difficult conversation about the man behind the comedian.Find Jimmy Here - https://www.instagram.com/the_wigan_joker?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsi=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Growing up in Wigan, Jimmy's childhood was overshadowed by violence, instability and a complicated relationship with his father. He speaks openly about witnessing domestic violence at home, having his confidence shattered at a young age and the lasting impact those experiences had on the person he became.But this isn't simply a story about trauma.Jimmy takes us through the unlikely journey from a quiet, damaged kid to standing on stage making rooms full of people laugh. We explore why comedy seems to attract people carrying their own pain, where the Wigan Joker persona ends and Jimmy O'Neill begins, and the period when Jimmy became convinced that being a great comedian meant being a tortured one.We also get into the changing world of comedy.Jimmy shares his thoughts on cancel culture, political correctness, being blacklisted from parts of the comedy circuit and why he believes comedy should remain one of the few places where almost anything can be explored through humour.We talk about the craft of telling a joke, the rise of social media and independent creators, the changing route into entertainment and why comedians no longer need the traditional gatekeepers to build an audience.Underneath all of it is a fascinating conversation about trauma, resilience, identity, forgiveness, self-destruction and the extraordinary ability to turn painful experiences into something that makes other people smile.Jimmy may be known as The Wigan Joker.This episode introduces you to the man behind the laughs.

She became President of the Classical Association in 1989, was elected a Fellow of the British Academy, and was appointed the Regius Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge – the first, and so far only, woman to hold that position. It was there that she met a young student called Mary Beard, now an eminent classicist and broadcaster herself, who recalls her impact on academia.In 2025 Sir Billy Boston became the first rugby league player ever to be given a knighthood. Despite showing promise playing rugby union as a schoolboy he wasn't selected for his local club in Cardiff and made the then controversial decision to switch codes and join rugby league side Wigan.

On this day, 7 August 1842, a mass meeting of 18,000 workers took place in the UK, organised by the Chartist movement. They decided to call a general strike beginning the following day, demanding universal male suffrage, and opposing pay cuts. The strikes began and spread rapidly around the country, to towns including Manchester, Burnley, Preston, Macclesfield, Oldham, Wigan, and many more.Workers set up “committees of public safety” which coordinated action and gave permission for essential services to operate, such as water pumps which were needed to prevent coalmines from flooding.By late September, up to half a million workers had taken part in the strike.Troops were sent against the workers, and opened fire in towns including Halifax, Skipton, and Preston, while large numbers of strike leaders were arrested, and the strike began to falter.The final remaining strikers returned to work by the end of September. While voting rights weren't achieved, a number of groups of workers were successful in reducing or reversing proposed pay cuts.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10685/chartist-mass-meetingOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Farming dominated the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek economy in the 1880s, even after gold was discovered in the eastern Transvaal but that was about to change. Last episode we heard about the early gold finds around Rustenburg which was part of the Witwatersrand Ward back in the late 1800s. Farms along the Ridge of White Waters had a fairly steady supply of water courtesy of the many springs that could be found along the ridge. Still, the freezing winters and the lack of wood meant the region was not in high demand despite water and fairly good soils. By 1886 dozens of diggers began arriving on the Witwatersrand, having heard reports of the earlier finds and growing tired of the limited options available in Pilgrims Rest. Others made their way from the south, from Kimberley or the coast, trekking on foot. Two of those were the George's I mentioned in episode 284 .. George Harrison and George Walker, who walked from the Orange Free State who had decided to chance their luck in Barberton. If it were possible and we teleported ourselves back to this time, we would have come across hundreds of other fortune seekers tramping across the countryside, determined to strike it lucky. George Harrison is a bit of a mystery. He was Australian, or perhaps more accurately, an Englishman who'd live in Australia and joined the gold rush there, failed to find any treasure, then read about the Eastern Transvaal Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest discoveries and made a B-line for South Africa. We don't know much more about Harrison's origin story. George Walker on the other hand had quite an extensive CV — born in Wigan in England in 1853, he made his way to Kimberley in 1879 but had little luck digging for diamonds. He joined a British cavalry contingent during the Anglo-Zulu war and fought in Zululand, after which he rode off to Pilgrim's Rest and Kaapsehoop to dig for gold. Coal had been discovered in large quantities in the Free State, and he first took up a job at the Witrand Coal Mine near Kroonstad, where he met Elizabeth Johanna Catharina Pretorius and the couple married in 1883. It was there that George Harrison bumped into him on his great trek from Kimberley to the eastern Transvaal gold fields and the two decided to try their luck one more time at Barberton. George Walker left his wife Catharina and children in Potchefstroom, and joined Harrison for their trek to Barberton. They broke their journey on the Witwatersrand, deciding to earn more cash to set themselves up with a wagon, horses and other necessities before heading on to Barberton. It just so happened that the Struben brothers were looking for builders around their Confidence Mine, which as you heard last episode, was somewhat of a misnomer. When Hendrik Potgieter and other Voortrekker reconnaissance parties arrived along the Vaal and Witwatersrand in 1836, battles followed, eventually the Ndebele were pushed out the Transvaal completely and ended up in Zimbabwe. The two Georges would have been aware of the Potgieter saga, but blissfully unaware of the pre-history as they wondered through Langlaagte Farm. Originally 2 260 Morgan in size, It had been broken up into four portions. In common with other pastoral communities across Southern Africa, Boer custom stipulated that marriage entailed a land grant or farm subdivision for every son. The difference is most African communities relied on the King or Chief assigning land, whereas in the Boers case, it was the grandfather, or the father. Portion A was owned by Andries Breedt, Portion B by Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder - her maiden name was Oosthuizen - Portion C by Gerhardus Oosthuizen, and Portion D by the widow Petronella Oosthuizen and her son, Jan Hendrick Oosthuizen. Portion D was where Harrison was working, building the widow and her son their home. George Walker and George Harrison strolled onto Gerhardus' Oosthuizen's Portion C property, when they stumbled on a well weathered outcrop of rock.

Jeremy Kyle reacts as Andy Burnham has unveiled a plan for a “No 10 North” in Manchester, promising a devolved, rewired Britain centred on housing, transport and regional power. Critics questioned the cost, detail and fairness, as reports said Burnham may govern partly from Wigan rather than Downing Street. Meanwhile, Starmer's final defence plan promised drones and new kit, but opponents said spending still lags behind Nato allies.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

Pudding, chips, and peas is a staple meal of any young lad growing up in Wigan in the 70s and 80s. Vegemite as an abomination until Nuggan and should be outlawed. These are not completely random musings but do have something to do with this week's episode. But will Corey and Kev enjoy a song about a sex party (apparently), will the Weyburn Godzilla be reigned back in during this week's game, and will the boys head off on the biggest tangent to date?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and mystify me.Songs covered in this episode: "Wild Life", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Mystify", "Kick", "Calling All Nations", "Tiny Daggers"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Andy Burnham is the new Labour MP for Makerfield, heading for parliament and, likely, Number 10. But what does his momentous win here on the outskirts of Wigan tell us about his chances of masterminding a wider Labour revival as prime minister? Host Patrick Baker has been in the constituency over the past few weeks, speaking to people who live and work in this curiously normal part of the country about the prospect of a Burnham premiership. On the campaign trail, Labour MP Peter Dowd reveals what kind of reaction he has been getting on the doorstep and shares his enthusiasm for Burnham's economic agenda. Reform voters at the Bryn Community Centre in Ashton explain why they feel Labour has abandoned them, but hint they might look again at voting Labour if Burnham can deliver for their area as prime minister. Patrick speaks to locals supporting Rupert Lowe's hardline anti-immigration party Restore Britain, as well as those concerned that two insurgent parties on the right could provide a boost to Labour's electoral chances. And Rob Ford, professor of politics at the University of Manchester, explains why being a popular mayor may not so easily translate into being a successful PM. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tomorrow a by-election will be held in the parliamentary seat of Makerfield in Wigan, one of three taking place. Makerfield has found itself at the epicentre of British politics - and the result could decide the next prime minister. We look at what the polls are saying about the way women in the area are saying they will vote and what is impacting that decision. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth. Scotland are one of the home nations, alongside England and Ireland, hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup currently taking place here. The Scots got their campaign underway last Saturday against Ireland with an historic win. Nuala is joined by the CEO of Cricket Scotland, Trudy Lindblade and by one of their team, all-rounder, Priyanaz Chatterji to talk about the growth of the women's game in Scotland and what this tournament means for the future of the game. Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster. Global Sex: What Sex Workers Know about Love and Capitalism is the title of a new book by the Danish anthropologist Sine Plambech. Sine Plambech is an internationally renowned expert on sex work, migration and human trafficking.

A late-night drive on an almost empty stretch of the M6 should have been uneventful.But just past Wigan, one driver noticed a woman standing alone on the hard shoulder. No broken-down car. No hazard lights. No attempt to wave for help. Just a still figure in a light-coloured coat, facing the road as traffic passed in the dark.As the car drew level, she turned and looked directly at the driver - not frightened, not pleading, but waiting. A moment later, she was gone. No movement. No trace. Nothing visible in the mirror but the empty hard shoulder behind.In this short Fright Bites encounter, a seemingly ordinary motorway sighting becomes something far harder to explain, especially when a colleague later mentions the stories attached to that same stretch of road: reports of a woman seen near the place where a fatal accident was said to have happened years before.A quiet, chilling account of late-night roads, roadside ghosts, and the unnerving feeling that some places hold onto the final moments of those who never made it home.Enjoyed the episode?

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.

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.
