Remember on the last podcast where there was talk about jetting off to Sri Lanka and Abu Dhabi? Well, unfortunately, neither of those things happened due to the worsening of the dreadful coronavirus. With bigger issues at hand, but with far less to be occupying themselves with, Jack Brooks, Chris Millard and 'key worker' James Gregg dial in to have the first of a series of chats from afar in self-isolation. 

Chris and Greggy forensically explore Brooksy's boxing technique as seen on Instagram, whilst he also reveals some cool and commendable ideas from he and his Somerset team-mate to help the NHS. 

We're on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook..... or give the lads a follow @chris_millard18 @brooksyferret or @jamesgregg7 on Twitter. 

Greggy, Chris and Brooksy are reunited once again... but not in their stomping ground of podcasts gone by...

A trip down to Taunton to see Somerset to see legendary swashbuckling, opening batsman, '05 Ashes hero Marcus Trescothick. 

'Tres' talks about his early years in cricket in the cricket-loving county of cider, beating the Aussies, headbutting Kevin Pietersen and touring once again after his mental health struggles. 

He also has some choice words for one of the hosts on how old they look.....

Settle in and enjoy a long podcast with the boys, and in the meantime why not check out our Instagram page @englandsbarmyarmy, Twitter @TheBarmyArmy and our brilliant website... www.barmyarmy.com

After England’s historic first ever Test win in Galle, we thought we’d treat you to what it’s all been about in this historic old town. From torrential rain, to losing a trumpet in the sea, to hearing from a three-time Ashes winning wicketkeeper, this pod has it all.

HELLO! We are back.... for "series two" of The Shackles Are Off podcast Produced by England's Barmy Army.

Greggy, Brooksy and Millard catch up (briefly), before introducing a red hot guest. You could argue he's 'hot' in more ways than one... (you'll understand as the podcast goes on).

Liam Plunkett trumps Brooksy with his FOUR County Championship titles - and they've even lived together. 

Hear from 'Pudsey' about Ashes Tours, his impending move to Surrey, and THAT 'Fredalo' World Cup.

After he begged, pestered and hunted us down ever since we started the podcast, we finally caved in and let England Captain Joe Root achieve a long-term goal of his when he came to sit in the studio with the chaps for an hours natter. 

The Barmy Army fan favourite, speaks to Brooksy, Millard and Greggy about being skipper, all of his family hitting each other for six at Headingley, silly pranks in the England dressing room, and which England player craves being part of the Barmy Army during a Test Match.

He also shares an incredible bit of batting advice to anybody playing in the subcontinent, given to him by a certain Sri Lankan legend*.

A larger than life character, who very much fits into the Barmy Army mould of being a 'people's player', Nottinghamshire's Luke Fletcher joins the chaps on the podcast this week.

With plenty of rain falling at Headingley on the opening week of the new County Championship season, Brooksy, Barmy Chris and Greggy found themselves in the company of former England wicketkeeper James Foster.

In the words of Brooksy 'he WAS a big name'. 

The Shackles Are Off present to you the second consecutive episode featuring a wicketkeeper - and he delivers!

Fozzy fills us in on Essex's rubbish function at Lord's after they won the Championship last year, playing for England so young, and what it's like to play with 'Chuckie' (or Alistair Cook to you and I).
