Bring on Božo

On this week's edition of the Spoony Chop - the Courier's new, weekly St Johnstone podcast - things get 'philosophical'. Host Eric Nicolson is joined by Stuart Cosgrove and Sean Hamilton to discuss frustration around a defeat to Hearts that ripped up the in-game script, a young goalkeeping duo's desperate need for support and whether Croatian centre-half Božo Mikulić's work permit will be sorted in time to face Motherwell.

In episode one, regular panellists Eric Nicolson, Stuart Cosgrove and Sean Hamilton discuss the new manager's rapid, transformative impact at McDiarmid Park, whether it can be maintained and who looks like playing a key role.
