In which five lads from the football get together and see whether they can make a podcast

The Pie at Night Podcast

EP0001 - Pile Of Pilot

In which Jimmy and the boys talk Latics, pies, music, pubs giving Dylan the chance for some major name-dropping.  This episode was recorded  at Wigan Central in the middle of a snow storm as Chris prepared to get on his bike to Blackpool for Joseph’s Goal.

EP0002 - Chats With Shaggy Haired Englishmen

In which the tPANers pay a visit to the Northern Beer Temple, talk Latics, the Euros and, erm, you're my best mate you are, whilst retaining their composure and in no way whatsoever drinking too much, too quickly...

EP0003 - Like licking cold sweat from a man's back

In which, to our eternal shame, we let Ian talk rugby. But there's other stuff in there too like, finding out where Dylan is, preseason, food, music and more from the emporium of shite.

EP0006 - Kebab Kings

In which the lads meltdown, reveal dirty burger secrets, catch up on th'olympics and Chris’ MILFs. As well as revealing exclusives about a reality TV star and next year’s world pie eating championship. Warning, contains Big Fat Sam and Ian talking about Italy and Rugby BECAUSE ALAN WASN’T THERE. Oh, and perhaps more importantly, we find out who would win a fight between Sammy Lee and David Perkins.

EP0007 - Nowhere Man

In which, blissfully unaware of the Twitter storm their episode 7 comments about cutlery and burgers would cause, Jimmy, Chris and Ian stayed on to record another episode with John Coyne where they talk John's Latics career, Everton, holidays, reality "TV" and move on to the letter E in the Latics Emporium of Sh*te.

EP0008 - The Calm After The Storm

In which Ian and Chris go into hiding to avoid the inevitable embarrassment over their performances in the last two podcasts, whist Jimmy, Dylan and Alan have a couple of pints to get over going bottom, losing to Preston and drinking Adder Liqueur. The conversation moves on to what the prodigal podcasters have been up to whilst they were away and their thoughts on what went on in their absence as well as answering some questions that Chris and Ian have left for them before moving back to football, fat Sam and Caldwell's chances of being down the social soon and some Wolves things before finishing on a really cheery note. Warning, contains "favourite album" chat.

E0009 - Kill Will vol 4-4-2

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Ian are joined by twitterwood a-lister @weahscousin to talk, Wolves, Brentford, England and speculate about fantasy football stings before revealing some wardrobe dysfunctions and debating whether Caleb Folan was shit or not.

EP0010 - Nothing can stop us now

In which @weahscousin comes back to talk Twitter tomfoolery, his craft, shite jobs, Jimmy’s way with words, the great British tradition of queuing, look at the letter G entries for the Emporium of Shite and, in a rare moment of topicality, talk about Cardiff things.

EP0011 - Didn't Happen

In which The Famous Five return to talk about highlights, lowlights and xmas lights. Crexit and The Regulator come into conversation and we find out what Dylan has brought the rest of us back from his latest travels.

EP0012 - The Martinez Mafia

In which we forget to pretend this wasn't recorded on the same night as episode 12, get early FA Cup Fever and giddy over Saturday night TV, discuss whether cover versions are an acceptable form of music, what Warren Joyce has to do to "turn things around" and an eerie Bobby Campbell reference. Seasoned with a sprinkle of Huddersfield things and some stuff about Derby and topped with the letter H in our Emporium of Sh*te

EP0013 - Moonbase Beta

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Ian manage to rush through the Latics issues of the day with their minds on their pending Christmas do. Contains beer, christmas dinners and more football than you've come to expect.

EP0014 - The Lad in the Jazzy Shirt

In which we host a mix of past guests, podcast stalwarts and assorted other miscreants at the Northern Beer Temple, ply them with an impressive range of ales and delicious Bowen's Pies and see what happens before getting back together and thoroughly depressing each other with the thought of Wigan Athletic.

EP0015 - A Pie-eyed Podcast in a Fir Tree

In which the lads are joined by the Don Corelone of the Martinez Mafia, Mr Sean Livesey to chew over the left over turkey and celebrate a Latics win, whilst returning their unwanted christmas gifts and finally finding some Burton things.

Episode 16 - Out From The Cold

in which we ignore THE WERLD CUP FINAL, Kilford and Kilbane, and talk about all the other K's, Racehorses, some music and maybe some Latics, who knows...

EP0019 - Back to the Status Quo

In which things get so bad that the selection of a Radiohead song goes without comment. Features depression, too much football and us putting together a band. Oh and find out whether David Lee makes the emporium of shite running.

EP0020 - Shytalk and the lost causes

In which the lads talk about players who we should've signed, reflect on the Villa game and recent goings on at Latics, nominate the Caption competition shortlist, and then do a bad job of discussing; sitcoms, telly in general, the international break and Ipswich.

EP0021 - Don't Ask Me

In which we celebrate an Unhappy 1st Birthday with a Pork Pie Birthday 'Cake', we talk Easter Eggs or just Chocolate eggs if you're an infidel, a world of pain, and John Coyne throws Pat McGibbon down a well, despite him being "a lovely bloke." Oh and we give up hope but have a NEW MANAGER EXCLUSIVE. (Maybe?!)

EP0022 - Guess Who?

In our custodian special, where we discuss other players who got picked and shouldn't have for obscure reasons, why we have had a disproportionate number of BAD keepers whose surname begins with N, who is going to be foolish enough to be our next manager, Reading things and under what circumstances it is acceptable for GROWN MEN to cry at football matches

EP0023 - Keep(er)Net

In which we get back to what we're best at. Drinking and talking shite in somewhere where we need to speak up to be heard properly. Features. football, interruptions and, to be honest, five blokes ignoring the fact that Wigan have got relegated and having a good time. What you going to do about it?

EP0075 - Papa Roach

In which Jimmy, Alan, Ian and Luke are joined by three ghosts of podcasts past to welcome in the festive period and give a nod towards Christmases past, present and yet to come.  Join us on the first, and definitely most sober, of our three-part Christmas special as we try to avoid talking about Jimmy’s elephant in the room and Luke’s drink choices by finding out what our guests, and their football teams, have been up to in lockdown.

EP0076 - Christmas Muppets

In which, with little else to do, the lads crack open the board games, fall out over the rules whilst one delinquent visitor gets unruly and spoils it all for everyone.

Jimmy, Alan, Ian and Luke are again joined by Macca, BarcaJim and John Coyne for more festive fun and games, that don't quite go to plan.  What more could you want to make your yuletide skip along merrily than a convoluted theme, football(ish) chat and seven chaps slowly slipping into inebriation?  It’s like every family do you’ve ever been to, except it’s not.

EP0077 - Top, middle or bottom

In which Jimmy, Alan, Ian and Luke are again joined by The Paris Angel, BarcaJim and Mr John Coyne in an attempt to look at the best stuff of 2020 and things, as you can imagine, things start to unravel fairly quickly. You're our best effin mate, you are.

EP0078 - Macca's Half Hour

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke come out of their post-Christmas detox to talk camels, pies, snapbacks, DNA and too much football.

EP0079 - A three month hangover

In which the lads end the longest accidentally break in podcasting history to talk about revisionist music tastes, subjects they should be teaching at school these days and avoid the elephant in the room, although they do go on about Latics, managerial appointments and what Liam Richardson ever did for us.  

Contains way too much football and not enough swearing

EP0080 - To Be Confirmed

Interview with Paul Kendrick from the Wigan Evening Post where he takes us behind deadline day at Wigan Athletic

Slamming Windows with Paul Kendrick

Episode 81, in which the lads toss off (a pancake) and knock out a quick one (podcast).  Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke do the Hokey Cokey with Shaun Maloney’s first four games, go to pieces in the broken biscuit barrel and wonder what Latics’ squad are giving up for Lent before wrapping up with a couple of
Hymns, well, songs with a religious bent.  

As always, contains way too much football, but at least there’s less than an hour of it

EP0081 - Better in Both Boxes

In which Jimmy and Chris sneak off to Melton Mowbray in the hope that a dirty afternoon away might resurrect the passion in tPAN's relationship with podcasting.  Contains pies and football, but not necessarily in the preferable amounts.

EP0082 - A little slice of pie

A podcast that's full of agenda driven nonsense from assorted miscreants and fanzine sorts, by Wigan Athletic fans, for Wigan Athletic fans and any one else we can get hold of.

Listen as we take a semi regular journey through the minds of fans for who them men on the pitch are, more often than not, a secondary consideration in their "Matchday experience" and are as likely to be found sourcing craft ales and artisan dried meats than chasing transfer rumours.

WARNING: At least some of the football chat may be made up.
