Pre-Season Angry & Atlanta Connections
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and North American football writer Felipe Cardenas.
Felipe returns to the podcast to tell us a bit more about Darren Eales, NUFC's new CEO and former President of MLS franchise Atlanta Utd. Eales was an early appointment after Atlanta earned their place in MLS and a driving force behind their rapid progress.
Miguel Almiron played a big role at Atlanta as well and he's been in fine form in pre-season but will he start the first league game?

Pre-Season, New CEO, Greek Meats, and Derek Wright
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and another very special guest.
Pre-season is now officially underway, with matches in front of (a few fans) against 1860 Munich and Mainz. Chris attended both, but has he finally met his match in the Austrian hotel buffet? Meanwhile, the club have appointed a new CEO in Darren Eales.
The big news of the week was the retirement of Newcastle's long-serving Head Physio Derek Wright. He boarded the pod to relive some great memories including Jim Smith's float and ill-advised weight-loss wagers.

(Re?) Birth of the Entertainers: 30 Years On
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and a very special guest.
It's 30 years since Kevin Keegan celebrated keeping Newcastle in the old second division by splashing out on an eclectic collection of big-money signings and winning the first ten games of the new season.
One of the first signings from that period joins us to reminisce about the spectacular upturn in fortunes and the madness of King Kev that brought it all about.

Newcastle's Transfer Transformation
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and a special guest, Tifo's Seb Stafford-Bloor.
Tifo, The Athletic's analytical affiliate, are hard at work putting together some "Sensible Transfers" for every Premier League team and Seb joins us for a detailed look at the dramatic change in Newcastle's transfer fortunes over the last twelve months.
And, there's a round-up of the week's other stories including approval of some training ground improvements and confirmation of the colour scheme for the third strip.

Pope In, Botman Pending, What Next?
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Burnley writer Andy Jones.
Goalkeeper Nick Pope has been signed from The Clarets after their Premier League relegation and it looks like a bargain fee for an England international. The club could round off their defensive incomings with Lille centre-half, and long-time target Sven Botman, who had a medical at Longbenton on Monday afternoon.
We asked The Athletic's Newcastle subscribers what position they'd like to see filled next and they responded with a united voice.

Summery Dismissal, Derby Dearth, and Big Dan Burn
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and news reporter Phil Buckingham.
George is a little thrown this week as he's usually on his yacht in St Tropez at this time of year. Instead, we're podding through the heatwave with an exclusive Dan Burn interview, a look ahead to next season's fixtures, and a special feature about the fixture we definitely won't have.
There hasn't been a league match against Sunderland in six years, soon to be seven, and Phil Buckingham makes the case in favour of a blood-and-thunder local derby. But, our most recent record isn't great, and the lads are sceptical about bringing back the chummock-sterning feeling of derby day.

The Season in Black & White with Alan Shearer
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and special guest Alan Shearer.
It's our last podcast of the season so we're looking back over a seriously eventful campaign, one that saw us winless from our first fourteen games before the sale of the club brought renewed investment, energy, and ambition back to St James's Park.
Eddie Howe came in as manager, rejuvenated the squad, and presided over an astonishing turnaround in results. We tell the tumultuous story of the season, nipples and all, and pick out our best (and worst) moments.

MAG-nificent Monday: Signing Off at St James's in Style
Taylor Payne hosts your snow-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin.
Eddie Howe's team have produced an astonishing surge up the Premier League table in 2022, but inspired by a rousing display from Wor Flags and the resulting atmosphere, they produced their most complete performance of the season to beat Champions League chasers Arsenal.
It was a remarkable evening in so many ways and we celebrate the night in true PotT fashion, with energy and enthusiasm from Taylor, lyrical praise from George, and naked lasagne eating from Chris.

Catching Up with City and Paul Ferris
Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin.
Manchester City were convincing winners and, along with last week's defeat to Liverpool, the team have been left in no doubt as to how much they must improve to challenge at the top of the table. But, how much can Newcastle's new management take inspiration from the rapid rise of Manchester's "noisy neighbours"?
And, there's a reminder of how bad things used to be as Paul Ferris remembers dealing with Mike Ashley during Alan Shearer's short spell as manager. Paul has led a remarkable life, and he's here to discuss his latest memoir, The Magic in the Tin.
