As a Bolton ex pat who can’t get to games ,I really appreciate all the work put into this Podcast. Highly recommended thanks Marc and Henry .
Excellent pod cast for Wanderers fans.
Great to hear those accents from afar. Best way to keep in touch with the Wanderers happenings. If I only understood the in-jokes on some of the songs. Used to be a newspaper!
Perfect for Bolton fans everywhere to keep yourself up to date. The added last word segments are great too for scratching that itch after the games - great to get second opinion from them. Keep up the good work Marc, Henry and the occasional Russ!
Was listening along to a recent episode with my partner and Henry made a subtle reference to Mixu’s alternative career so naturally. For that reason alone, it’s worthy of a 5⭐️ review
