The J-Talk Podcast

After a hectic Golden Week slate of J2/J3 matches, James & Jon return to look over the big talking points from the most recent games!

In Part 1 (Start to 11:50), James picks out the vital information from Round 14 (played last weekend) from the Western perspective, while in Part 2 (11:50 to 22:10), Jon does similar for the East divisions.

In Part 3 (22:10 to 47:30), the boys got together for the first time in a fortnight to talk about the Round 15 games from the West (played on Wednesday afternoon/evening), before finishing off with a review of everything from Round 15 in the East (47:30 to Finish).

Topics under discussion include Ehime's stellar recent form, Tokushima parting company with manager Gert Engels in rather unceremonious fashion, and Jon's trip to deepest Tochigi to watch Yokohama FC's latest attempt to serve up 'impressive football'.

There's also Most Bravo Player chat, and a look forward to this weekend's Round 16 games!

On this mini pod, Jonny kicks us off with all the midweek goings-on in the west, after Nagoya went top on goals scored ahead of Kobe (to 12:07), before Ben runs through the results in the east, with the title all but in Kashima's hands now.

Check us out next week on J-Talk Takeover Week, as Jonny and Ben moonlight on JTET, and Jon and James take the reins on Big Pod!

With Gamba Golden Week in full swing, Jonny and Ben round up all of the action from the past two top flight matchdays, beginning in the east, where Kashima hold a two point lead over FC Tokyo with four games to play (to 23:40), then shifting west, where Kobe's once vice-like grip on top spot is now hanging by a thread after they were crushed by Gamba Osaka on Saturday.

We'll be back later in the week with a review of Matchday 15, so keep your eyes peeled for that pod!

In another Golden Week-dictated mini-pod, the JTET team rounds up all of the latest action from the 100 Year Vision League for J2 and J3 teams.

James has all the news from the West in Part 1, while Jon takes a look at the East divisions in Part 2.

Plus Most Bravo Player picks, and a look ahead to the next slate of matches (Round 14)!

After Jonny and Ben begin the episode with a look back at ACL heroics from Kobe, Machida and Gamba Osaka (Spoiler alert: Kobe lost in the ACL Elite semi finals on Tuesday morning) last week (to 12:05), they welcomed Kawasaki correspondent Neil Debnam back to the pod to chat about Frontale's CEJLC so far, and their dramatic late Kanagawa derby win over Yokohama F.Marinos last Saturday (to 34:17).

Then in Part 3 we round up the other three east games, as Kashima kicked further clear at the top (to 44:25), before reviewing the four games from the west and looking ahead to upcoming fixtures.

This week’s JTET begins in the East, as Jon Steele fills us in on matchday 10 and talks about the Fukushima Derby (to 25:20), then we move westwards for James to talk about Oita v Yamaguchi (to end). Both parts include the regular Most Bravo Player and games to watch selections.

After a very eventful J1 Matchday, Alan Gibson joined Jonny and Ben to chat about Kobe's win over Nagoya - that ended on a somber note after the sickening collision between Vissel players Matheus Thuler and Daiya Maekawa - then a rough week for Gamba Osaka, who lost 1-0 at home in both the ACL Two semi final first leg, and the Osaka derby (to 42:30). Then Alan reflects on his incredible trip to the UK to watch Japan's friendlies against Scotland and England (to 1:02:43).

In Part 2 we round up the rest of the west (to 1:11:05), then all five games from the east, before finishing the episode with a look at the upcoming slate of top flight action.
