    This week on the Housecast Podcast, we’re joined by Fourth Eleven captain, coach, and all-round good egg Dave Krupinski. We chat through his early playing days, look back on some classic fixtures, and dive into how he’s progressed into coaching while leading the Fourth Eleven. We also talk through all the latest senior team results from across the club. There’s also a light-hearted (and slightly concerning) report of alleged bullying involving the Rugrats. Elsewhere, we unpack a bizarre incident involving Joe Beneduce, a cat, and a pigeon… which is exactly as chaotic as it sounds. And of course, it wouldn’t be Housecast without a game of Guess the Winner — this week’s edition is as unhinged as ever.

    The Housecast Podcast is back — and back in person from the Executive Suite… or whatever it’s officially called (we debate that too). Joining us this week are Chris Bleazard and Paddy Martin as we look back on recent results, including the outstanding win over rivals Burnley. We chat to Blez about reaching the incredible milestone of 17,000 Lancashire League runs and what the achievement means to him and the club. There’s also discussion around communication with the curator and his team, plus the usual chaos as we attempt another round of Guess the Winner. A cracking episode with plenty of laughs, stories and Lowerhouse chat throughout. #UTH 💛💙

    We’re loving these live podcasts at the moment. With Jez and Gary away on holiday, Housecast’s very own Ant and Dec — Joe and Joe — sit down in person with skipper Ben Heap to chat through pre-season prep and the opening two games of the campaign, including a lovely trip over to Crosby. There are listener questions for the skipper, plenty of insight from inside the dressing room, and we even get the lowdown on the new teas…

    More Than a Chairman: The David Wren Story (ft. The Wren Family)

    In this special episode of the Housecast Podcast, we remember the life and legacy of David Wren — a true Lowerhouse man whose impact on the club will never be forgotten. Joined by his wife Judith, and children Andrew and Laura, we reflect on the man behind the role. From his passion and determination to his vision for the future, this is a deeply personal insight into what made David so special — not just to Lowerhouse, but to his family and everyone who knew him. We talk about the challenges he helped the club overcome, the standards he set, and the foundations he built that continue to shape Lowerhouse today. Above all, this episode is about the person — his character, his values, and the legacy he leaves behind. A fitting tribute to someone who gave so much to the club he loved. #UTH 💛💙

    We catch up with Stan Heaton to discuss Lowerhouse’s winter preparations and how pre-season is shaping up. From behind-the-scenes volunteer efforts to the club’s overall vision, Stan gives a fascinating insight into what keeps Lowerhouse thriving. The boys quiz Stan on the Lowerhouse recipe for success and explore how the women’s and girls’ section is developing nicely. Plus, we play two rounds of “Guess the Winner”—more carnage than usual! It’s a ridiculous segment, but one we all love, bringing you the latest updates from the Lowerhouse Draw.

    Guess the Winner: DIY Mayhem with Duce (ft. Paul Grace)

    We’re back! It’s been a while, and it’s time to play Guess the Winner again. In this episode, we’re joined by Paul Grace, one of the latest additions to the Lowerhouse committee. Paul talks about why he joined the committee, how he found his way to Lowerhouse, and why the club is such a fantastic place for mental health. He also shares insights from the recent Mental Health course he’s been part of in conjunction with the club. And if that wasn’t enough, Joe Beneduce is attempting to fix his shed — what could possibly go wrong? Tune in for laughs, insight, and all the Lowerhouse chat you’ve been missing.
