This week's show focusses on the brilliance of a conversation had between Paul Cope, Gareth Roberts and Stephen Warnock about what it is to be a young footballer, playing for Liverpool or from the area and hoping to go to the World Cup. Stephen has been there and done it and has been opening up on TAW Player about his experience through his career. We have taken this conversation for our listeners as it sets the tone for what so many must currently be going through in Russia.

John Gibbons talks to Paul Duhaney about the brilliance of the Africa Oye festival. Paul has run this festival for years and it is a jewel in Liverpool's crown.

Jonny Bongo has also been a jewel in Liverpool's crown. His bingo is taking over the world.

It's a cast of thousands, hosted by Neil Atkinson.
