Pod On The Tyne: an independent NUFC podcast

Taylor Payne welcomes The Athletic's Newcastle United trio of George Caulkin, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead to another week's discussion, albeit not the most pleasant one we've had of late. For the first time this season, there was a slight sense of capitulation as Aston Villa ran roughshod over our worryingly passive Magpie men. A different story on Sunday, though, as Becky Langley's NUFC Wome...

Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh are basking in the glory of nine Premier League points in six days, thanks to the brilliance of Joelinton, Isak, and a re-energised Callum Wilson. "Tough Guy" Eddie Howe had a great week as well and he'll be taking on Unai Emery's Aston Villa next Saturday. We preview that game, look ahead to a crucial St James's Park fixture for the women's team with...

A slightly earlier show this week with Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh revelling in Newcastle's glorious win over Manchester United at St James's Park. It finished 2-0, but that flattered the visitors who looked all at sea without Brazil captain Casemiro. We now face three consecutive away games, two of which are in London this week. Produced by Ollie Bellwood. Hosted on Acast. See a...

Taylor Payne previews the final stretch of Newcastle's epic Premier League season with George Caulkin, Chris Waugh, Jacob Whitehead, and special guest Andy Mitten. Eddie Howe, Jason Tindall, and the boys have twelve games left needing only to replicate their form so far this season to finish in the top four. We look at their chances, starting with a detailed preview of the league fixture against M...

The gang's all here as Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead digest a terrific few days for Newcastle United. Eddie Howe's men followed up their resolute win over Wolves with a dominant performance at Forest; the margin should have been greater, but Alexander Isak provided two moments of incisiveness and we go into the international break eyeing up third place in the Premi...

It's fair to say there's been a substantial sigh of relief this week as Taylor Payne analyses a vital Premier League win with Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead. Eddie Howe made some big calls, not least resting top scorer Miggy Almiron, but Alexander Isak stamped his authority on the game and Newcastle overcame a Wolves fightback to clinch all three points and revitalise the Champions League chase....

Taylor Payne takes you through another week, at least we think it was another week, in the life of NUFC with the cream of North East football writing talent and Chris Waugh. Manchester City followed the reds of Liverpool and Manchester by beating us 2-0, but never without a struggle; if only we could score a goal! Meanwhile, The Athletic's senior writer, George Caulkin, wonders what life would be...

A tired Taylor Payne looks back over the debris of cup final weekend with The Athletic's Newcastle United correspondents, Chris Waugh and the accursed Jacob Whitehead. One last cruel twist of the irony knife sees us heading to Manchester this weekend. City have returned to something like their best, so Saint-Maximin and co will have to conjure a performance at least as good as in our previous meet...

Taylor Payne and Chris Waugh bring you the sounds of Wembley Way, and one or two from Trafalgar Square, as Newcastle United square up to Manchester United with the EFL League Cup on the line. Produced by Ollie Bellwood (who also did a couple of the interviews). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Taylor Payne hosts the Pod on the Tyne Cup Final Preview! Joining him, The Athletic's Senior Writer George Caulkin and Newcastle correspondents Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead. Nick Pope really put a spanner in the works with his red card against Liverpool on Saturday. It was a result to forget, even if we played OK, and the highlight was definitely Wor Flags. But, with the Carabao Cup Final again...

It's Bobby '90 week on The Athletic and Taylor Payne hosts the latest edition of Pod on the Tyne with George Caulkin, Jacob Whitehead, and Chris Waugh on board to discuss our celebration of the great man and his legacy. The Liverpool game will be a special occasion, which makes it easy to move on from the disappointment of the draw at Bournemouth. It's been a slightly flat couple of weeks, but per...

In the third episode of the series, Sir Bobby talks about his dream managerial job at Newcastle and his relationship with the fans.

In the second episode of the series, Sir Bobby takes us through his various managerial stints at England, Barcelona and his hunger for success everywhere he went.

Taylor Payne greets a full podcast team, even if just the mention of Bournemouth sends Chris Waugh packing halfway through. George Caulkin and Jacob Whitehead stay the course to consider Allan Saint Maximin's latest appearance in black and white. A resolute West Ham side, driven by Declan Rice, recovered from Newcastle's storming start to take a point away from St James' Park on Saturday. We felt...

Newcastle United are going to Wembley for the Carabao Cup Final! Join Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Jacob Whitehead for a full recap of a remarkable evening at St James's Park. Unfortunately, we don't have the stamina of Sean Longstaff, so we're all a bit tired and emotional, but with good reason. There's a round-up of the January transfer window and a quick look ahead to February's Premier Le...

Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Jacob Whitehead reflect on the League Cup semi-final 1st leg at St Mary's, Southampton. Newcastle will take a one-goal lead into the home leg and must feel confident of making the final. That's all despite another wasteful night in front of goal. Why do our chances fall to the "wrong" players, what's going on with our headers, and does Callum Wilson need of a rest...

Taylor Payne looks back over an eventful week for Newcastle United with The Athletic's George Caulkin, Jacob Whitehead, and Chris Waugh. Joelinton was selected in the starting line-up for Fulham despite his drink-driving charge and, after Bruno was forced off with a badly twisted ankle, there are concerns around depth in midfield. But, despite a tough afternoon the Magpies survived a bizarre Fulha...

Taylor Payne is joined by The Athletic's dynamic trio of Newcastle reporters; Chris Waugh, George Caulkin, and Jacob Whitehead, to reflect on a remarkable few days as our Cup Odyssey series continues despite a major wobble. It was a magnificent night at St James's Park, Dan Burn got the breakthrough as a dominant Newcastle threw aside the disappointment of Hillsborough to beat Leicester and reach...

Reflections on the terrible behaviour of Leeds Utd who used every negative, underhanded tactic in the book for a solitary point at St James's Park and Newcastle's heroic efforts at the Emirates Stadium when a canny, streetwise, pragmatic performance was rewarded with a clean sheet and a valuable draw. Plus, a new signing (for the podcast) and the latest on the club's January plans with two excitin...

Another joyous week as Eddie Howe's Newcastle made a mockery of any suggestions they might be disrupted by the unseasonal World Cup break. We report on a fairly comfortable Carabao Cup win, a crushing league victory over our cup quarter final opponents, and the club's community outreach over the festive period. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back! Returning from the World Cup wilderness, it's our annual Christmas Special, featuring a review of a crackers year, the sprouts of a January transfer strategy, and one singed centrepiece. The team are back in action as well and we'll preview the Boxing Day trip to Leicester as well as reverse preview/review a league cup last 16 tie with Bournemouth that hadn't yet happened when we recor...

Newcastle United beat Chelsea 1-0 at St James's Park; they were good value for that win, restricting a visibly frustrated opposition to breadcrumbs, and they go into the World Cup break third (THIRD!) in the Premier League. We review the latest dominant performance from Eddie Howe's sh*thousing Mags and a remarkable season so far. We also hear from a proud Tower of a Blyth Man, Dan Burn, and field...

Newcastle United progressed to the last 16 round of the Carabao Cup, albeit playing in less impressive fashion than we're used to in this remarkable season. Understandable, perhaps, given seven changes from the last league match, but the team are through and won a penalty shoot-out at St James' Park for the first time in competitive fixtures.
