In a lengthy and at times emotional tribute to Kevin Campbell, Talking the Blues Podcast tries to put into words the sense of loss surrounding such a beautiful man and soul in Kevin Campbell. We send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. We then switch to the most significant Everton related news since Moshiri took over 8 and a half years ago, the Friedkin takeover.

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with Andy and George Costigan as we look back on a desperately disappointing day at Goodison with what should have been a winnable fixture.
We look at the pre match march, ask what can the fans do in terms of fresh protest, what can we do to force Moshiri’s hand in removing this board so that we go into this summer regardless of our league status free of those who have put us in this position. Moshiri should be gone also of course, but he’s not getting the price he wants for his equity.

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with Andy Costigan and myself. No George this week as technical issues caused him hilariously to miss out twice.
In today’s episode we look back at the proverbial game of two halves. We look at the impact Dyche has had so far before commenting on the atmosphere around Goodison on matchday.
We look at and commend the different reporting style at the Liverpool Echo under Joe Thomas and his colleagues, before giving an explanation as to why Graeme Sharp received an open letter from NSNOW.

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues podcast with George and Andy Costigan. We look back on yesterday’s disappointing result against Aston Villa, we look at how we can score more goals, ask why Mina isn’t playing and where 5 wins are going to come from?

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues podcast with George and Andy Costigan. We look back at a vital win against Leeds United.

Welcome to another edition of Talking the Blues Podcast with Andy Costigan and his brother George. We look back on a disappointing night at Anfield (how many times has that been written?), look at what is needed for survival before looking at identity and culture. When a player walks into Goodison as an Everton player for the first time, who tells him what he is joining? Who sets the Everton identity?

This week’s Talking the Blues podcast looks back on a momentous day at Goodison where everything that is good about Everton and Evertonians was on display in spades.

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues podcast. The great sport’s washing exercise is finally over and we can return to what might be bread and butter but is the most important aspect of football, the support, viewing and discussing over our own football club, Everton.
We review 2022, talk about youngsters, ask what has improved in the last 12 months and most importantly lay a blueprint for preparation for the Wolves game and the rush of fixtures in early January.

We look a fabulous match which included a highly encouraging performance from Everton marred by an appalling VAR decision. Finally with the potential prospect of Usmanov facing global sanctions we look at the possible implications for Everton Football Club.
https://theesk.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/talking-the-blues-270222.mp3 Football is not as important as the global events facing us but I hope we’ve struck the balance in this podcast. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with George and Andy Costigan. We review what’s been happening this week, the most farcical of circumstances played out in front of the world’s media. It’s difficult to see how or why any senior executives or shareholders would allow such proceedings but this is the current state of Everton Football Club.

Welcome to the first Talking the Blues podcast of 2022, following the shambolic (in every sense) performance against Brighton & Hove Albion.
We discuss the match for a short while before turning our attention to what are the underlying problems at Everton and who ultimately can provide a solution? Clearly, the ultimate solution provider is Farhad Moshiri. Does he care enough to do something about it, do enough fans care enough to force him to do something about it?
We are in a position whereby the status quo cannot continue. Moshiri has to listen, engage and act. The fans have to be part of the process that gets him from where he is now – passive, to where he needs to be active.
Please find the time to listen and let Moshiri know your views

In the absence of a game today – when was the last Boxing Day that Everton did not play a game? – we talk through a range of subjects including the #HerGameToo movement and link with Everton Football Club. We look at the decision makers behind this current bout of fixture postponements and ask who’s responsibility it is, who are the real decision makers?
We look back on the year and project forward to 2022. Thank you for all your support this year and we each wish you all a very Happy, successful and healthy new year.
