Behind the scenes

Tony Woolliscroft is one of Britains leading rock photographers and he is a massive Red. He is David Fairclough and Ragnhild Lund Ansnes’ guest in this week’s podcast  - where we go behind the scenes and hear about how Tony work when he is shooting some of the big bands like The Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but also when he shoots portraits of some of his biggest football heros - such as how he managed to get what he needed with his «20 seconds job» with Steven Gerrard and what it was like touring to take the official photos of all the Liverpool Captains for the book «Liverpool Captains. A Journey of Leadership from the Pitch.» It took Tony and Ragnhild to some mad interview settings. Enjoy!   

LFC Wedding

Have you ever dreamt of getting married at Anfield? Bergitte Nyheim and Frode Johansen met and fell in love in Liverpool and LFC is a huge part of their lives. They made this dream come true. Hotel TIA got the honour of planning the wedding and throwing the party, our owner and podcast host Ragnhild Lund Ansnes got the privilege of marrying the couple inside Anfield Stadium. The newly wedded are our guests in this week’s love special podcast. David Fairclough is as always side-kick. Enjoy! PS! Long live true love.

Always hope

For our guest, Scouse republic designer Jay Hargrayves, there is always hope as we are only 6 rounds away from the end of the season- still hoping for top 4. David Fairclough shares his take on Trent’s new position and we talk about Gakpo’s confidence boost and lots more. Hosted by Ragnhild Lund Ansnes. Enjoy!

Love and let go - Shankly & Klopp

This season is telling us that a generation change is at the steps in Liverpool FC. But how does that work when a manager is so close to his players and love them after all the trophies and success the players have brought to the club? There hasn’t been a manager in LFC that is more alike the great Bill Shankly than Jürgen Klopp. They have both been really good man- to- man- managers and they have both been very inspirational managers, who have been getting the best out of players. How do you then let them go when they still have a few years left of their playing days? Liverpool Legend David Fairclough was a young player training with the first team in Shankly’s days and Karen Elizabeth Gill grew up with Shankly as he was her granddad. This episode is about to love and to let go. Hosted by Ragnhild Lund Ansnes. Enjoy!  

Cheer and Beer

7 UP! Count to seven… A rather happy day recording the podcast after Liverpool humiliated our greatest rivals Manchester United 7-0. Liverpool legend David Fairclough looks at the mad result from a players point of view while our week’s guest Darren Gilligan takes us back to the time his mum was in the Boys pen and their journey as Reds together. Darren also give us an insight into the local craft beers scenes of Liverpool and how he has now started the popular Brewery Bus Tours Liverpool where you can visit some of Merseyside's breweries while host Ragnhild Lund Ansnes desperately queues for Eurovision Liverpool tickets during the show. Enjoy!

The power of songs

Kieran Molyneux grew up not far from Anfield Stadium and had a challenging upbringing. For him, LFC and music became important escapes and made him dream. All these years later, he travels the world singing for fellow Reds with Boss Nights as a self-taught musician. Kieran is this week’s guest of honour in LFC Talk, warming up to the Champions League match against Real Madrid together with Lynn Irwin, David Fairclough and host Ragnhild Lund Ansnes.

Born to be a Red

NTRO: As this season is testing us as fans, we have to remember that some seasons have to allow regeneration of the team. Mark Maguill from The Echo’s Blood Red Podcast is this week’s guests when Liverpool legend David Fairclough, Karen Elizabeth Gill and host Ragnhild Lund Ansnes sit around the table in Hotel Tia’s Player’s Lounge to talk about the Mighty Reds and iconic Bill Shankly. Mark’s job covering the Reds is most certainly harder when the Reds struggle to perform and he shares with us how he copes as a fan in disappointing spells with his favourite team. Sponsorships and strikers’ choices of cars and living in walking distance to the ground and a more friendly rivalry between the Reds and the Blues in the city back in the days are some topics. Enjoy! #LFC #Liverpool LiverpoolFC #podcast   

Performance input

This week’s podcast is truly inspiring for those who want to follow their own path away from the mainstream and for those who would like to improve their performance as professional dancer, choreographer and performance coach Rob Glover is Fairclough and Ansnes’ LFC Talk guest. Coming from Bootle, Glover took up ballet to improve his footwork in boxing and the rest is history - working for Strickly Come Dancing in the UK and Dancing with the Stars in the US, but even more impressive is it how he started teaching dance in countries like Finland at the age of 15. Rob is an avid Red and shares how being a football fanatic is both of great help and hurdles in his international career. Enjoy!
