It's only been three and a half months...

We are back on the mics as season 25/26 starts in earnest, but start with a look at how last season finished and the ins and outs on the squad front.

Then it's on to talk about what's been happening on the pitch, with preseason friendlies and the start of the Premier Sports Cup Group stage as the Wasps get off to a flyer taking maximum points so far along with a Premiership scalp along the way.

We finish up chatting through preseason preparations on the Women's side as they long ahead to the new campaign.

Where do we start?!

It's back to back wins for the Wasps as a potential run at the League 1 title may have been kickstarted with Morgan Neil's last minute heroics at Galabank.

We talk up the Women's team's thumping victory, deserved recognition for John Glencross as A View From The Terrace comes to visit the Football Memories group and the Alloa Memorabilia Exhibition, and we couldn't skip by a certain managerial appointment made this week.

Eventually we get on to cover all the talking points from an epic encounter against Annan, before looking ahead to Cove Rangers visiting the Recs this weekend.

An extended break from the podcast while the Wasps suffer a string of December defeats...it's purely coincidence!

It's episode 100 and it's a bumper episode of over 2.5 hours featuring some special guests!

We start by looking back on the 1-1 draw away at Queen of the South, as the Wasps return to the summit of League 1.

We then turn attention over to the women's team with our first guest, as manager Allan Milne joins us to talk through his career, the Women's game in general in Scotland, and more specifically what the aims are for Alloa.

Then it's the men's turn as Alloa manager Andy Graham joins us for a chat on the eve of his 1 year anniversary. We talk through the last 12 months looking at an auspicious start, the momentum that gathered throughout last season and in to this season. Andy talks about the impact of his backroom team and his transition from player to manager.

For the final part of this special episode, we look ahead to the trip up north this Saturday as we are on our travels once more, this time to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Our final guest comes in the form of Stevie Riley from The Wines Shuffle, who helps us preview the game.
