About this listen

From our DIY beginnings in 1989, when our forebears spent hours slaving over a hot Gestetner and your only regular Barrow audio dispatch came via the Barrow Soccerline at two quid a minute, Beans is finally embracing the future by launching a podcast! Hang on a minute... Podcasts have existed since 2003, you say? Right, well, it's cutting-edge technology as far as we're concerned... You can get them on your Walkman, right? Actually no, but they do work on whatever modern contraptions you've got lying about, provided you've got yourself connected to that world wide web business. On a weekly basis, Beans will deliver you an aural version of the printed page. We think our expert analysis of faded left-backs, oscillating centre-forwards and extra G spots is sure to be a hit with you, our loyal readers. So why not subscribe to our nonsense on all your favourite podcast apps like Napster and Lime Wire (or even Spotify, whatever that is)? We guarantee we are all virus-free; just don't tell Lars Ulrich you're getting it for nowt.

    We've got insight from the returning Ben, lover of all things Crawley Town FC, who gives us the inside scoop on what to expect from them.

    Back to business this weekend for the boys—Crewe away. Tom from the Railwaymen Pod messages in and the panel discuss their thoughts ahead of the trip.
