It's preseason, the football's on pause (well the proper stuff we mean), but there's never a shortage of things worth talking about at Beans!.

At Give 'em Beans!, we've always believed the fanzine is about more than just what's happening on the pitch - it's about the town, the people, the culture and the stories that make Barrow what it is.

So for this special episode of Spillin' the Beans!, we did something a little different.

Jonny sat down with Barrovian artist John Duffin - a man whose paintings of the town have found their way into the hearts and homes of Barrovians across the world, paintings that come back to the streets, the docks and the soul of the place he grew up in.

So tune in to hear them chat about his childhood in Barrow, his years working in the shipyard, his move to London to pursue his art and what his relationship with the town looks like today - plus his recent exhibition at the Dock Museum - Look North

That was the season that was, it’s over… let it go.

Fraser and Dave join Jonny to go over the last knockings of a dismal campaign and react to the first outputs of The Great Reset. Managerial options are pondered and we discuss whether or not many of the current squad could be a force in the National League.

Join us for one last dance with the EFL badge our sleeves…..

“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.” - King Claudius, Hamlet

We’re more Slim Pantatellas than Hamlets at Beans HQ but the sentiment remains!

Steve and Dave join Jonny in facing the final curtain with brief reflections on the meek surrender to Cambridge (on the pitch at least), embrace the grim inevitability of the Newport game and make the initial cuts for the autopsy of the twitching corpse that has been the 25/26 season.

After the Lord Mayor’s show against Oldham, The Soccer put out a Mrs Brown’s Boys performance against Walsall. Lewis, Ronan and Dave join Jonny to pick over the bones of yet another deflating defeat and preview the trip to Cambridge. The fat lady might not have started singing but she’s opened her Vinted delivery and is on the second bottle of Echo Falls.

Our panel could certainly do with a drink so pull up a chair and join us in the Last Chance Saloon

Bloody hell, Tuesday ey! But before we get there, there was little buzz after Barnet, so Steve, Ronan and Danny sit down to pick through what was a frustrating one, before trying to find the words to describe what on earth happened when Oldham came to town.

There's plenty of Soccerline action in this one, plus a Walsall view from One Pod Beyond ahead of what is the next biggest game of our season.

All this and more. Oh, and we broadcasted live again and it's now available in video format too.

AAANNNDD IT'S LIVE, we're firm Peter Drury fans here but for one night only we're team Tyler for our first ever live broadcast.

Joining Jonny on a lesser spotted Friday evening are Fraser and Steve before they don the eye masks and earplugs for some much needed beauty sleep ahead of an early start travelling down to Barnet (a) on Saturday morning.

We'll preview that match with some help from a rather jolly James from Barnet having reflected on an Easter double header, an excellent shut out in Milton Keynes followed up by a narrow defeat at home against Chesterfield on Easter Monday.

It's live, what could possibly go wrong?

Finally... a win, and a bloody good one too!

It's a family affair on this episode of Spillin' the Beans, with x2 McMenemy in the studio to discuss the kind of fight we've been longing to see in this relegation battle - and how, if possible, it can continue through this tough run of games.

Plus, the MK Dons view from the MK1 Podcast ahead of the trip there on Good Friday.

Sit back and enjoy a rare dose of Spillin' the Beans joy... with a decent dash of pessimism of course - we're Barra after all.

Is that the smell of rotting fish? Afraid not, it's the distinctive aroma of our panels eau de toilette, speaking of toilets we dissect, not rotting fish, but our 5-0 humiliation over on Humberside

Joining Jonny this week will be Fraser and Steve, as we look into what went wrong and why, take a deep dive into what is going wrong at the club (general) and we look forward to welcoming an unbeaten in 21 (gulp) Bromley side up to Holker Street in a top versus bottom showdown.
