Hello. My name is James McMahon, I’m a journalist – I host The OCD Chronicles podcast, amongst many others – and wanted to let you know about a new podcast that I’m launching on the Spoook Media network on August 3rd, 2021.

It’s called Shame, and unsurprisingly it’s about that very thing. That negative self-eviscerating emotion that’s used to control us, crush us and keep us locked in misery. For reasons I’ll get into on the podcast, I’ve been obsessed with shame all my life, and so I’m on a quest to understand what it is about this wretched emotion that hangs around my head, my heart and soul, and tethers me from joy. I’ll be speaking to psychologists, historians – and people who feel shame or have been shamed.

If that sounds like something you’re interested in, please subscribe to the podcast today – available, as they say, wherever you get your podcasts!

Remember the last episode of Lost? Rubbish wasn't it. This - the final episode of Can We Not Knock It? - is nothing like that. It unites the boys for one last time. One last moan. Laugh. Cry. Turns out that we weren't dead all along! We're alive! And we're still dreaming!

55 years of hurt never stopped us dreaming... but we did get up a few times in the night to binge eat mashed potato and cry. But now - uncharted territory - a final! What next for this brilliant England side? The boys unite on this rough and ready episode to discuss!

Forgive the lateness of this episode. After Saturday, it took some time to work out what to say! On this instalment, the OG's of the Can We Not Knock It? podcast unite once more to discuss a wonderful/weird/bonkers/thrilling/uncharted evening for the England football team. We're starting to believe. Are you?

Big episode this. We receive proof that Ricky's German friend Large (sorry Large) is a real person! More post-last 16 debate! Quite a lot of chat about Everton Football Club! A dash of misplaced arrogance about tomorrow's Quarter-Final against the Ukraine!

Not only that, but Ricky turns heel!

Forgive this later than intended episode. Yesterday got... well, y'know...

To celebrate victory against Germany and a place in the quarter-final, James McMahon gave journalist and Norwich City fan Andrew Woods a shout. NB: this episode features Can We Not Knock It?'s first ever dog. You'd be barking to miss it (GET OUT).

On this episode, James McMahon gives his old NME mucker and QPR fan Paul Stokes (of music journalism bibles Q, Mojo and all sorts of other cool stuff fame) to preview the impending Euros 2020 knockout tie against Germany. What transpires is a conversation about the soul of football, in a sense. And the old Britpop band Gene, obviously.

On this episode, James McMahon catches up with Wales fan and editor of two time FSF Award winning Popular STAND fanzine, Glen Wilson, for a conversation about where Wales find themselves in the tournament now; the summer recruitment spree taking place at their beloved Doncaster Rovers, why Euro 2020 has truly failed to ignite; and UFO's!
