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
A lifeline of sensibility and silliness for Bolton fans. Imagine a podcast that informs and makes you laugh in almost equal measure. Now also imagine it being hosted by two very likeable chaps, now listen to this so you don’t have to imagine it!
Just love this post cast a really well put together and concise podcast ❤️
