Welcome to the The Buff, a brand new Bolton Wande…

The Houston Elton Welsby, the week from hell, and Barnsley

Welcome back to The Last Word... And an impressively brave victory at Plymouth which answered a lot of questions about Wanderers heading towards the play-offs.

There was more of a story to tell at Home Park aside from an action-packed game, and Marc Iles takes you through events on and off the pitch.

We hear from Steven Schumacher and Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley - and why there may have been a bit of naughty language picked up by the microphones!

We get Henry Hewitt's take on an important three points and look forward to Monday's game at home to Stockport County, which suddenly feels a little less fraught.

We have a very special offer for listeners of The Buff Podcast - so take note.

Subscription to The Bolton News will cost from £31 for a WHOLE YEAR!

Alternatively, pay £4 for four months - after which it will be £4.99 per month.

The Last Word - Plymouth Argyle 1-2 Bolton Wanderers

Welcome to The First Word and, ladies and gentlemen, we are at the business end of the season.

Two huge games over the Easter weekend begin down on the South Coast at Plymouth, as Steven Schumacher goes back to the club he led out of League One in 2023.

Bolton start the day in third and knowing two wins this Easter could effectively wrap up their place in the play-offs. Drop points, however, and the tension rises further.

We hear from the head coach plus striker Mason Burstow, the Plymouth Herald's Chris Errington drops by to talk about the Pilgrims and BWFC fan Russ Pollitt sums up his mood ahead of the big game.

It's The First Word.... The start to your matchday in podcast form!

The First Word - Plymouth Argyle v Bolton Wanderers

Welcome back to The Buff Podcast... And a great big Easter Weekend for Bolton Wanderers.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are back to go through all the headlines after the international break and preview two massive games in the play-off race.

Wanderers head to Plymouth Argyle on Good Friday before hosting Stockport County on Easter Monday, after which they could have one foot in the play-offs... Or a scenario we'd rather not think about.

As ever we tackle all the talking points from the Toughsheet, including those frightening accounts, and we read out your emails.

It's the biggest, it's the best, it's The Buff!
