Dan gives his thoughts on a very eventful last few weeks at Birmingham City, covering thumping wins over Portsmouth and Millwall, the return of Phil Neumann, and the Kyogo conundrum.

Whilst Villa's season finally gets out of first gear, with wins both at home and abroad, Blues' gruelling start to life back in the Championship provides a cold reality check. Elsewhere, Tom Wagner provides a Delia Smith tribute to really the troops in the Wrexham away end, and Coventry storm to the Championship summit.

Callum and Dan resume business on The Second City Podcast, fresh on the heels of Villa's frustrating draw away at 10-man Sunderland, before looking at Blues' last gasp win over Swansea and the various goings-on at the other West Midlands teams.

Emi Martinez! Patrick Roberts! Jadon Sancho! Harvey Elliott! Jack Robinson? Victor Lindelöf? Callum and Dan take to the airwaves right on the heels of Deadline Day, giving their thoughts on the business conducted in the Second City.

Callum talks through Villa's underwhelming start to the new season and his hopes for the upcoming UEFA Europa League draw, whilst Dan breaks down Blues' impressive Championship form and the frustrating Cup exit at the hands of Port Vale.

Callum joins Dan for an extended discussion on the joys and sorrows of the new Amazon Prime documentary series: 'Built In Birmingham: Brady & the Blues', covering Brady, Rooney, Davies, Wrexham, Americanisation, Peaky Blinders, and everything in-between.

Dan sits down to give his thoughts on the brand-new Amazon Prime documentary series following Blues since their takeover by Knighthead in 2023.

The third time's the charm as the Second City Podcast returns for the 2025/26 season, taking a look at Villa and Blues' pre-season, new signings (or lack thereof), new kits, and new hopes and dreams for the year ahead.

It's that time again! As the 24/25 season rides off in to the sunset as quick as it arrived, Dan and Callum reflect on the highs and lows for both Blues and Villa, dishing out awards for their favourite games, goals, and much more.

Amidst a general Villa and Blues catch-up, Callum and Dan embark on a long discussion/rant about football kits, and take a look at Coventry and Walsall's contrasting play-off fortunes.
