In the first episode of the new season Max is joined by Caz May, Duke Newcombe, and Benji Deane to discuss a busy few weeks in BS7.

With the arrival of 4 new signings, the gang talk over Paul Coutts' qualities, Mark Hughes' experience, the tenacity of Sam Finley, and what attributes Nick Anderton can bring to the squad. In addition to this, the departures of Luke Leahy and more recently James Daly are hot on the agenda.

Abu Ogogo's potential re-signing is a topic of interest to Caz, whilst the sudden decision to sell several youth prospects to Aston Villa has Max questioning the purpose of an academy. Benji talks about the "Baldwin/Ehmer/Harries dilemma", while the future of Zain Westbrooke has Duke puzzled.

As always, thanks for listening and UTG!

Mets caught up with Ben from Cod Vlogs to run the rule over ex-Fleetwood pair Sam Finley and Paul Coutts.

Ben is upset to see Finley go, describing him as 'a lower league Steven Gerrard'.  A player that can dive his team forward with a nasty streak, Ben thinks he'll be fantastic in League Two.

Paul Coutts will bring defensive solidity to the midfield with bags of experience. His leadership on the pitch will be invaluable and is an area Rovers severely lacked last season.

Lastly Ben talks about Barton and why he thinks it was the right time for him to leave Fleetwood.

After a condemning 2-0 defeat to the MK Dons, Rovers are all but mathematically relegated to the fourth tier. Neno is joined by Max, Harley, and Duke to get their immediate thoughts on the Gas sinking to the basement division, and the end to a five-season stint in League One.

In Part 1 of a two-part special, the boys take a look at the men in charge during the disasterous campaign, and which of the three managers were most responsible for Rovers' downfall. In addition to this, the boardroom are also questioned and whether the decisions behind the scenes were reactionary or part of a bigger plan.

Harley defends Ben Garner, Duke talks fancy underpants, and Max discusses commentating on a relegation. Tune in for a cathartic assessment of all the dross, courtesy of GasCast.

Never a dull week at Bristol Rovers, not that us podcasters are really complaining! As the Gas appoint their third permanent manager of the season, the GasCast team assembled to chat about the controversial appointment of former Fleetwood Town boss Joey Barton.

In part one the team talk Joey Barton: the manager - does he have what it takes to keep Rovers up? What attributes can he bring to the team? And what we can expect from his reign.

In part two, Joey Barton: the man is discussed - if  his history of controversy will come into play, how the appointment has divided the fans, and whether or not Barton's baggage makes the appointment worth it.

Tonight's huge six-pointer against Wigan Athletic at the Mem is also previewed in this episode.
