No international break for TFTES as we're back with John Byrne and Martin Moore in the Four Provinces for part 2 of That 70s Show, covering the emergence of disco, punk rock, Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy in the second half of the decade with the help of some more Con Murphy narration from 'Who Stole Our Game'. The lads ditch the flares and dodgy moustaches as they go from teenagers to young adults and witness Rovers' rock bottom of 63 paying customers at a home game in Milltown to three Cup final wins in the space of a year.

Con Murphy joins us in the studio to talk the tonking over UCD and look ahead to Dalymount Park next week. We meet some Hoops n' Hammers in Gary Purdy and Martin Brennan after the Europa Conference League final triumph in Prague before Detective Con turns the microphone on Karl and Gary and gets a look behind the scenes of six years of TFTES, the origins of the podcast and its future.

We have a Bank Holiday six pointer over Dundalk and Sligo to talk about, and ahead of the UCD game before the mid-season break there's an interview with two ex-Hoops, Joe Hanrahan and Keith Dignam who played in the Students' 1984 FAI Cup final win over Rovers and were on opposing sides of the Manchester United friendly at Milltown in 1987, when Joe was in Alex Ferguson's squad.

We review a refereeing shambles in Cork, and, as we look ahead to the double header with Dundalk and Sligo, there's an interview with goalkeeper Richard Brush about his two spells with the Hoops, White Hart Lane, heavy metal and his Puma Kings. Pico Lopes conducts the draw for the last 16 of Questions From The East Stand, after Rory Gaffney, Johnny Kenny and Liam Burt attempt to qualify.

There's a surprise Drogheda defeat to dissect and a double feature in our author series, as Hannah Dunne meets Adrian Besley (The History of the Women's World Cup) and we interview former Cork referee Pat Kelly (It Happened By Chance) ahead of our first bus to Turner's Cross in four years.

We are top of the league after a routine win at UCD and a dramatic one against St Pat's. And the kids are alright. Panickers and politics, away trips and artificial intelligence are among the topics for our seven callers to the TFTES Hotline.

We've got another win over Bohs and all the fallout, the real and AI version, in glorious detail before we go back to college tomorrow. Our Player of the Year series returns with 2016 winner Simon Madden, who was with Boccer Bayly at Leeds, played in the first game at Tallaght Stadium and Bradser's first full season.

We have ugly and beautiful wins over Sligo and Derry from this past week to review, with a great bus trip up north, no smashed windows but one broken finger for Big Al, so we look ahead to Friday's derby with Leon The Professional in goal. Graham Burke and Markus Poom take on the quiz qualifiers.

We have a rasper, a rocket and a captain's triumphant return in Inchicore, Ed Saul previews the Robbie Keane Academy Cup and then Simon Power and Conan Noonan tackle the quiz. Finally, our second installment of In Memoriam: My Dad with sons of Jack Wilson (replay), Peter Murphy, Jimmy Cooke, Richard McGarry before Phyllis Sizmur, the daughter of club legend Bob Fullam, speaks to Robert Goggins in Slough near London a few weeks ago.

After once again inspiring Rovers to come back from two goals down in Tallaght, Jack Byrne takes on Questions From The East Stand alongside Aaron Greene and Dan Cleary (recorded before the news). There's an interview with Ringsend historian Frank Hopkins to kick off our new author series, and, ahead the women's derby with Bohs on Saturday we hear from Hannah Dunne, Jaime Thompson and Paul Donohue on the story of the season so far.
