| “Adrenaline” | 20 Dec 2024 | 00:47:07 | |
We did it, you guys. We survived Tottenham’s latest attempt to kill us with *that* game against United. Lauren, Rosa and Sam delight in Djed, Dom and Archie, make peace with Forster’s total headloss, and try not to think too much about what awaits us against Liverpool. But we’re semi finalists! Ange is buzzing and so are we. Merry Christmas! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Go Bang Time” | 15 Dec 2024 | 01:02:37 | |
A win! A very palpable win! Lauren and Rosa exhale deep sighs of relief after Southampton 0 Spurs 5. Is this how Newcastle fans felt? We agree to sacrifice Liverpool in the league (lol) for a win against United in the Carabao and ponder the meaning of Spurs Women’s draw at Brighton (tl;dr: we need some more goals from somewhere). Finally! Rosa got emosh at the Strictly final and Lauren binged more heisty Spanish drama. Very similar vibes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Love Turned Hate” | 16 Oct 2024 | 01:05:16 | |
Be gentle with us, we’re recovering from being POISONED by a SNAKE in a Manchester United shirt. Lauren and Rosa sift through the debris of a bad day up north, and try not to get too scared by the upcoming trip to Chelsea. Elsewhere, we are pleased for Djed Spence but still mad at the rest of them, so it would be great if they could redeem themselves against West Ham. Plus! We applaud the creativity and of both Ms Lauren Hill and Brigadiers restaurant. Consistent professionalism? Could never be our club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Rolling In the Deep” | 11 May 2022 | 00:41:31 | |
We review the big pros and potential cons of the 1-1 at Anfield while trying and failing to not get too hysterical over an enormous NLD. Emerson Royal is quite rightly celebrated, Rosa has her big Benjamin Davies moment and we break down Sonny's first 20-goal league season. The team also celebrate a fine season for Spurs Women—including a look at Rosa's experience taking her two kids to the season finale at the Stadium last weekend. And of course, we share out latest culture picks.

| “My Same” | 03 May 2022 | 01:06:27 | |
The team reviews the Leicester win, the top four marathon and most importantly: Emerson Royal's new video drop. We toast King Sonny and the magic of Kulu, while Cristian Romero's latest no-nonsense masterclass inspires Billie's latest Rolling In the Tweets. Elsewhere, there's a look ahead to a big final week of the season for Spurs Women, and, of course, our culture picks.

| “Chasing Pavements” | 20 Apr 2022 | 01:06:39 | |
Level heads! We try not to panic after the Brighton game while looking at what went wrong. Was it Rosa's fault for attending? Harry Kane's for going to the golf? Antonio Conte's for getting outthought by Graham Potter? The crowd's for getting frustrated? Meanwhile, the top four rollercoaster is assessed going into The Christian Eriksen Derby, Charlie launches an investigation into whether Emma Raducanu is actually coys and we wish Spurs Women well going into their Chelsea hell week. And, of course: some lovely culture picks. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Brighton 19:50 — The top four race 25:35 — The Christian Eriksen Derby 35:00 — Spurs Women and an Emma Raducanu Investigation 44:15 — Culture recommendations (Rosa: Winning Time [Sky Atlantic/Now] and Slow Horses [Apple TV+]; Tom: Severance [Apple TV+]; Tom and Charlie: LET'S DO IT AGAIN by Jamie xx; Charlie: The Split [BBC iPlayer] and Gazza [BBC iPlayer]) Hosted on Acast.

| “Love in the Dark” | 12 Apr 2022 | 01:20:10 | |
The team breaks down a glorious weekend (Doherty news aside). How dirty were Villa or should we not get too The Arsenal about it? Just how much does Tom love Kulu? Is this the very best we've seen of Sonny and H? And should we be worried about Royal now playing every week—and where the hell was his highlights video? We take a check on how we're all feeling about the top four race, mark Hugo's incredible performance with Billie T's Rolling In the Tweets (and talk about our own favourite Spurs keeper performances) before looking to Brighton (warning: there's worrying news about Rosa's attendance). Oh, and don't worry: there are plenty of lovely culture picks for you, too.

| “Hold On” | 06 Apr 2022 | 01:07:28 | |
It's getting interesting! The team surveys the top four race—taking in our Newcastle thrashing and Arsenal's defeat at Palace—and gauges just how confident we should now be feeling. We also pay tribute to great goals from Tottenham full-backs (including plenty of incredible listener picks), look ahead to Villa, encourage everyone to come with us to the Spurs Women game at the THS on 8 May and, of course, dole out some hot culture picks.

| “Make You Feel My Love” | 22 Mar 2022 | 01:12:12 | |
A joyous and oddly heated episode! We bask in the afterglow of the West Ham win and each predict how the run-in will go down. There's a look at the toughest week imaginable for Spurs Women before we dive into a set of culture picks that sparks a Rosa revelation so shocking Billie is forced to compare her to Michael Owen. Tom, meanwhile, leaves us howling with a surprising long-standing TV obsession...

| “Love Is A Game” (feat. Rob Daly) | 20 Mar 2022 | 01:12:15 | |
Rob Daly is the much-loved voice of Spurs TV and one of football's best commentators. He takes on our Spurs Seven questions with Charlie and reveals the emotion behind those iconic last-minute Ajax, Leicester and Man City commentaries, gives his verdict on Conte's unpredictable Spurs, gets excited about Kulu's new chant, defends Moussa Sissoko and Carlos Vinícius, talks about how you worry you're going mad when you laugh at your own jokes in the commentary box, picks his favourite Spurs shirts, gives an honest assessment of how unlikable football can be at the moment, and much, much more (including some superb culture picks). Rob is a really excellent guy. We think you'll love this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Can’t Let Go” | 15 Mar 2022 | 00:52:23 | |
The team remain calm as we pick over the United defeat and somehow, sort of, re-talk ourselves into the top four being on. Inspired by Tom watching the game in a Pret, listeners tell us the weirdest places they've watched Spurs, before we talk over Spurs Women's tough loss versus Man City and preview the Brighton and West Ham games.

| “Right As Rain” | 09 Mar 2022 | 00:48:16 | |
Back to the top of the Spurs rollercoaster, as we toast the Everton thrashing and prepare for United away. Our Kulu Apology tour continues, we give thanks for Rodrigo Bentancur, consider whether the Wolves Matt Doherty has finally showed up and predict how many goals we'll need Harry to score if we are going to finish in the top four. We also look ahead to a crucial run for Spurs Women in their Champions League quest, and give out our Culture Picks.

| “Tired” | 04 Mar 2022 | 01:13:16 | |
In a difficult week, Rosa and Charlie chat over the Boro defeat and consider how to make sense of why we all care *so* much (too much?) about our football teams. Spurs (and Conte) coping strategies are discussed, as is the Chelsea/Abramovich situation, the Everton game and Ashleigh Neville's much-deserved Player of the Month award. Plus, of course, culture recommendations are made. This one gets deep!

| “Hurt Me Soul” | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:56:27 | |
Who could have foreseen? Tottenham followed up a glorious statement win with a piece of absolute, abject nonsense right before an international break. Spurs women also lost - by an identical scoreline - but they had the excuse of terrible refereeing AND they’re not making us stew over it for a full two weeks. Lauren and Rosa discuss subs, snakes, and surprise Freed From Desire attacks on holiday. Just let us live in peace! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Oh My God” | 22 Feb 2022 | 01:07:17 | |
Spurs are back! Again! We glory in the Man City win, dissect the "utterly deranged narrative" (Rosa) around Spurs right now, settle the Deki/Kulu naming debate, (eventually) salute Harry Kane and reveal the various ways our behaviour during added time troubled our kids. We then look on nervously to Burnley and Leeds and toast the Spurs Women return to form. Also! The team reviews the first episode of the Kanye documentary and hand out our weekly culture picks.

| “Strangers By Nature” | 08 Feb 2022 | 01:06:40 | |
To mark the first sightings of Kulu & Bentancur, it's a Spurs Debuts Special! We reveal our favourite memorable Tottenham intros, and present some brilliant picks from you guys (Mido: very popular). There are also reviews of the men's and women's teams victories over Brighton, a look at the Premier League double header at home versus Southampton and Wolves, plus of course: our diverse, intriguing and slightly nerdy culture picks.

| “Don’t You Remember” | 02 Feb 2022 | 00:51:38 | |
This was an emotional one. We all share our (and your) favourite Dele memories and consider his unique legacy: What made him special? Where did it go wrong? We also, of course, review the January transfer window in full. Did we do enough to keep Antonio happy? How excited are we by Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur? Does anyone want to see Tanguy and Gio in N17 ever again? Plus, we cover a disappointing Cup result for Spurs Women, look ahead to the Brighton game and reveal our weekly culture picks (in which Rosa makes a shocking admission). If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Transfer ins and outs 16:55 — Dele 28:31 — Listeners' favourite Dele moments 35:15 — Spurs Women 37:20 — Brighton in the Cup 42:42 — Culture recommendations (Billie: Ozark [Netflix]; Ash: When Smoke Rises by Mustafa; Rosa: A Separation by Katie Kitamura; Tom: Jackie Down the Line by Fontaines D.C. and The Smoke by The Smile) Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

| “Water Under the Bridge” | 26 Jan 2022 | 01:12:24 | |
We review the highs of Leicester and sobering lows of Spurs-Chelsea IV before handing out mid-term grades to the entire squad. Also: just how will the final week of the transfer window go for Wingers FC? Should we chill out over Conte leaving us, or is that just a part of the neuroses of being a Spurs fan? Can Spurs Women bounce back from a tough couple of weeks? And, of course, our weekly culture picks (feat. a surprising Dawson's Creek detour).

| “Cry Your Heart Out” | 18 Jan 2022 | 01:01:37 | |
A cathartic episode. The team share their thoughts on the NLD farce and look ahead to Leicester and (surely not again) Chelsea. We also pay tribute to Lamela's Puskás Award win by considering the best ultimately pointless Spurs goals, commiserate over some last minute devastation for Spurs Women and reveal our weekly culture picks.

| “All I Ask” | 11 Jan 2022 | 01:03:35 | |
We tackle the Ndombele saga, make sense of the Chelsea and Morecambe debacles and preview the Carabao second leg and Arsenal game. The team also pay (quite underwhelming) tributes to Bergwijn, exchange some (not at all underwhelming) rants about various Spurs nonsense, Charlie tries to sell everyone on Adama and Tom requests an unlikely rebrand. All that, plus our weekly culture picks.

| “Skyfall” (feat. Joe Barton) | 07 Jan 2022 | 00:55:27 | |
Screenwriter and showrunner Joe Barton tackles our Spurs Seven questions, reveals whether Giri/Haji can be revived, discusses his upcoming Batman and Cloverfield projects plus much, much more. Joe’s Spurs Seven answers are superb: especially if you’re a fan of “brilliant, glorious failure”, Giovani dos Santos, the challenge of keeping your kids away from Arsenal, hooped socks and “mood enhancers” when watching Champions League semi-final second legs. If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 00:00 — Joe’s career and his disgustingly exciting 2022 projects 23:00 — Spurs Seven questions 51:51 — Joe’s culture recommendation The HG Spurs Seven:

Broadcaster Abbi Summers joins Charlie for our HG Spurs Seven questions. She also talks brilliantly about the challenges of being a woman in football, gives excellent advice on handling trolls and breaks down working across both traditional media and the new, disruptive breed of online, often fan-led coverage. Abbi also explains how supporting Spurs makes you a better human being, talks about being a season ticket holder since age eight, begins manifesting a Jan-Mousa-Christian-Toby future Spurs management quartet, reveals her unlikely Jermain Defoe merch and much, much more.

| “Dopamine Lit” | 01 Oct 2024 | 01:45:05 | |
There are few things in footballing life as delicious as watching United implode, and that is watching them implode because of your team’s exquisite, untouchable football. Angeball is back and better than ever, and we’re cherishing every second in an absurdly overlong pod. Elsewhere, the women were severely rattled but got out of Villa Park alive thanks to our captain saving the day once again. We preview so so much football, and bring you our culture picks.

| “Cold Shoulder” | 03 Dec 2021 | 00:48:32 | |
The full HG team break down the Brentford win: How worried are we about H? Is Royal actually decent? Just what has Antonio done to Gentle Ben and Eric Dier? How good is Skipp exactly? Do we need to make more noise inside the stadium? And didn't the place look incredible! We then preview Norwich with cautious excitement and big up Rosa's Jenna Schillaci interview before reaching our weekly culture recommendations. Marvel and Beatles fans: you're in for a treat.

| “One and Only” (feat. Jenna Schillaci) | 30 Nov 2021 | 00:46:40 | |
Jenna Schillaci is a true Tottenham hero. She talks Rosa through her astonishing 12-year Spurs career: one that took in eight trophies and captaining our rise from regional football to leading us out in the WSL as a professional outfit. Coming from a huge Tottenham family, Jenna’s HG Spurs Seven answers are brilliant (we especially enjoyed hearing about her dad using his black cab to round up enough teammates for Jenna to play, changing room tunes, the team’s Sunday Fun Day, how we can all better support Spurs Women, whether she’d want to become Spurs boss now she’s coaching at the club and her name our stars of the future) and we loved having her on. Spurs Women simply wouldn’t be where they are without Jenna. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

It's Daws! Our iconic former captain takes on the HG Spurs Seven and talks Conte, why us fans love him, struggles under Ramos and AVB and fun times with Jol and Redknapp, ketchup, his favourite Spurs shirts, Ledley, not wanting to go out in public when Spurs lost, Bale, having spag bol (and garlic bread) before every single game and much, much more.

The first two games of The Antonio Conte Era reviewed (including the GLC moment still living rent-free in Billie's head), predictions for pre-January Transfer Window Spurs (from us, and you, our glorious listeners), Tom's weekly West Ham Being Good therapy session, a celebration of Rehanne Skinner's incredibly likeable Spurs Women and, as ever, our weekly culture picks.

| “Someone Like You” (feat. Gary Mabbutt) | 04 Nov 2021 | 01:10:43 | |
Gary Mabbutt talks Conte, Bill Nic, '84 and '91, nearly becoming Spurs co-boss with Jürgen, rejecting Arsenal (and Dalglish's Liverpool), Lineker's training nonsense, staging a Sol Campbell intervention, Gazza, favourite shirts, Fashanu, The Queen's Nose, and much more as he answers our (soon-to-be-famous) Spurs Seven. This was such a privilege for us to do—and we think it’s a real treat for all Tottenham fans. Enjoy!

| “I Drink Wine” | 03 Nov 2021 | 00:41:06 | |
Antonio Conte is the Tottenham Hotspur manager, so we needed the gang together for a collective outpouring of joy. We talk Conte tactics, style, transfers and who the Spurs Victor Moses might be. There's also time to pick over the bones of Tottenham's best-ever defeat, break down why Lucas Moura is our Forrest Gump and commemorate The Nuno Interregnum. Plus! Our Italian culture recommendations, of course. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory The team on Twitter: Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom ...

| “Daydreamer” | 29 Oct 2021 | 00:52:47 | |
It's a League Cup special! Inspired by the thrilling Burnley win (and your tweets), we reminisce over our favourite League Cup memories. These include: some blatant chant thievery, two beautiful 5-1s, Ash's tricked-out trip to Sheffield and Tom getting misty-eyed about a Walkabout. We also try and conjure some optimism from the recent turgid performances, get hyped for “El Sackico" and reveal our latest culture recommendations.

| “Remedy” | 20 Oct 2021 | 00:47:36 | |
Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom review the humbling of the world's richest club by Nuno's crafty Spurs, consider whether Ash is about to be finally proved right on Tanguy Ndombele, skim over the Conference, get mildly terrified/over-confident by the visit to West Ham and glory in the returns of two of our very favourite things: Adele and Succession.

| “Clap For Em” | 23 Sep 2024 | 01:17:27 | |
Not one but TWO Spurs victories to luxuriate in this week. Well, technically three, but we’ll draw a veil over that Coventry performance. Madders is back! Solanke has arrived! Maite Oroz is tiny (but awesome)! We’re all very, very happy. Long may it continue (please). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Hello” | 12 Oct 2021 | 00:59:33 | |
To kick things off, we wanted to say "Hello" (yes, there will be regular Adele references). Ash, Billie T, Charlie, Rosa and Tom open up by answering The Spurs Seven: a set of revealing COYS questions we'll be asking all our guests. There are heartwarming/heartbreaking Spurs origin stories, favourite terrible players, culture recommendations, bittersweet away day memories and much, much more.

| “What’s Wrong With Them?” | 16 Sep 2024 | 01:32:13 | |
We lost to them (again) and it was ghastly (again). We get in our feelings about it and then put those feelings in a bin and move on. We don’t have time for it, we’ve got a new WSL season to preview and a VERY sexy deadline day signing to discuss. Plus: food, music, telly, Seattle: it’s our culture picks. Hosted on Acast.

| “All The Stars” | 10 Sep 2024 | 01:38:37 | |
Welcome to the Hometown Glory 5 a side draft! Billie, Lauren, Nick and Rosa pick their dream teams from the rogues’ gallery that is 1992-onwards era Spurs. Who got the most coveted midfielder? Who picked a VERY triggering goalkeeper? Where does everyone rank our elite defenders? All this plus a Spurs Women update, culture picks, and an emotional check in before the NLD. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “3 Peat” | 02 Sep 2024 | 01:22:55 | |
This episode’s agenda includes but is not limited to: defensive lapses (again), porous midfields (again), toothless attacks (again), Sam spending all his time and money on a club that simply does not deserve him (again), and for the first time ever, a Spurs Women SNAKE. We are rattled, but we go again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “On Fire” | 26 Aug 2024 | 01:31:51 | |
HG’s newest signing, Nick, joins Lauren and Rosa as they celebrate the comprehensive destruction of Everton: what were we all so worried about? Nick unveils his Spurs Mount Rushmore, we have flowers for Kulu & Cuti, mild concern for Brennan, and absolutely no feelings whatsoever about the next game at St James’ Park. Just…is the bar in hell, or underneath it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “CAN’T SAY” | 21 Aug 2024 | 01:24:53 | |
Here we go again: Tottenham, why are you like this? Adam, Lauren, Rosa and Sam chew over that ridiculous draw at Leicester and try not to be *too* mad about it. Ahead of the next game Adam has the gang reeling over his hate for Everton (!) and Sean Dyche (!!), we get our hopes up with the Women’s League Cup draw, and there are not one but TWO restaurant recommendations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Come Back For More” | 16 Aug 2024 | 01:23:41 | |
The new season is upon us! Billie, Lauren, Rosa and Sam talk lovely new strikers, idiotic midfielders, departing kings, and returning players hopefully not seeking revenge. We go through our hopes and dreams for the rest of the transfer window, make our predictions for the upcoming season, and accidentally have a meltdown about Leicester. Finally! Billie loves a horror movie or three, and we’re a restaurants podcast now? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “tv off” | 09 Dec 2024 | 01:10:27 | |
Back on our existential bullshit. Billie, Lauren, Rosa and Sam sit with that defeat for a while. We knew it was coming, so why does it hurt? (Yeah we all know why.) And what now? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Wake Up” | 25 Jul 2024 | 01:34:07 | |
We’re back! The gang kick off by celebrating ten years of our gentle Welsh king, Ben Davies. We get excited about the younguns coming through, pass judgement on the new kits, make at least one outlandish prediction about Spurs Women, and spiral a bit - a BIT - about the transfer window. We’ve made a signing though! New HG cousin Adam gives us his Spurs Mount Rushmore, featuring…Rohan Ricketts? If you fancy skipping to certain bits: 02:30 - Adam's Mount Rushmore 14:45 - GBX 21:44 - Preseason thoughts/transfer window angst 56:20 - New kit 1:03:05 - Spurs Women update 1:21:18 - Culture!

| “Thank God” | 24 May 2024 | 01:28:40 | |
Lauren, Rosa and Sam lay an often turbulent and increasingly terrifying season to rest with a huge sigh of relief - they didn’t do it! - and a side of WTF - Poch sacked? We discuss the season’s heroes, villains, highs and lows, dish out grades and culture picks, and look forward to a summer of sport…and apparently a general election?! Time to take out the trash! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “Battlefield” | 14 May 2024 | 01:04:31 | |
Wow, that one hurt. Lauren and Rosa feel all their feelings in the aftermath of Spurs Women’s FA Cup final defeat: heartbreak, angst, pride, and belief that we’ll be back, because this is only the beginning. Also! The men broke their losing streak with victory against Burnley: you can have that one, lads, because if you do anything stupid this week… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “United In Grief” | 07 May 2024 | 01:15:22 | |
Billie, Lauren and Rosa get together in the aftermath of another chastening week and exhort the fanbase — and our basket case of a club — to hold its nerve and stay the Ange course. (But also let’s end the season now.) We discuss another comeback from Spurs Women at Everton, and forward to the FA CUP FINAL 🤩. See you at Wembley!

| “Plague” | 30 Apr 2024 | 01:08:35 | |
This is your post-NLD debrief: a safe space for sadness, anger, and crackpot conspiracy theories. Take a seat, feel all your feelings, and hopefully feel slightly better afterwards? PS we love you forever, Cuti. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “No Sleep” | 26 Apr 2024 | 01:04:20 | |
The gang assemble for possibly our last peaceful pod on this earth. Yes, it’s the NLD this weekend and nothing can stop it from happening. We share memories of past trauma, choose the player we most need to have a Big Game, and Billie, Lauren and Sam tell the fanbase (and Rosa) to get its act together. We have a look back at Spurs Women’s draw at Man Utd (and hope we can iron out the last wrinkles before we meet again in the final) and forward to Brighton at the weekend. We wrap it all up with some culture before we head off to make the appropriate offerings to our gods: the San Ti aren’t coming to save us from this one.
