The Odd Shaped Balls Podcast

Welcome to the "Odd Shaped Balls" podcast, your ultimate Cumbrian rugby companion, hosted by the ever-charismatic Andy Thompson. This week, we're joined by BBC Cumbria's finest: Jordan Weir, the ever-enthusiastic Becca Thompson, and the cheeky returnee from the naughty step, Dan Payne. Trust us, it's a line up you don't want to miss!

In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the world of Cumbrian rugby, with our usual mix of banter, insights, and a sprinkle of chaos. We kick things off with a shoutout to our beloved sponsor, Santa Marina Deli and Takeaway, the home of the best Italian pizzas, courtesy of the top dough tosser himself, Dan. And yes, we're still waiting for those pizzas to arrive!

Get ready for some rugby news, as Becca attempts to jingle us into the latest updates, including new signings at Barra, a special evening with Alex Walmsley in support of James Newton. We've got our eyes on the latest kit supplier for Whitehaven, and let's just say, the spelling might be as confusing as some of our tangents!

Join us as we take a deep dive into Workington Town's rollercoaster season, with exclusive insights from head coach Anthony Murray. From injury woes to playoff dreams, we cover it all. Plus, we celebrate the triumph of Workington Town Ladies as they secure promotion to League One. It's an inspiring tale of determination and community spirit.

Of course, it wouldn't be "Odd Shaped Balls" without some friendly ribbing and our infamous Heroes and Shithouses segment. Who's earning the title of hero this week, and who's getting the shithouse treatment? Tune in to find out!

So grab a brew, sit back, and join us for another episode filled with laughs, rugby passion, and the kind of camaraderie that only Cumbrian rugby can bring. Don't forget to participate in our trivia challenge and share your thoughts on our social media pages. Let's keep the conversation going!
