Welcome back to The Buff Podcast - and this week it's an episode with a difference.

With Henry Hewitt on fully paid paternity leave (don't tell Roy Keane) and Russ Pollitt doing a secret business deal in London, Marc had to get creative as he brings another hour-plus of Bolton Wanderers headlines and chat.

So, in no particular order, we brought in some expert help to cover the topics that matter - welcome Alex Miller from the Sheffield Star, Doug O'Kane from the Barnsley Chronicle, Ethan Erhahon from the midfield engine room, head coach of the BWFC Women's team Myles Smith and Derek Clark, outside the men's lavvies in the West Stand.

We also dabble with AI, answer your emails on wingers and the letter 'U' and we make some predictions about what will happen in Bolton's next two games.

Co-host? We don't need no stinking co-host...

PS - Hurry back Russ and H2, somebody called me 'Baldy' the other day on Twitter and it was really scary.
