Welcome to They Tried To Kill Us Off – the newly independent Luton Town podcast, hosted by Kev and Jimbo.
If you've noticed things look a little different... don't worry. You're in exactly the right place.
After nine seasons as the Luton Town Supporters' Trust Podcast, we're starting a new chapter. We're now an independent podcast, but we're still the same podcast you've been listening to and watching since 2017.
And if you're already subscribed to this podcast, you don't need to do a thing. Your subscription stays exactly where it is and you'll continue to get all our podcasts here as normal.
Our new moniker comes from a famous chant every Luton supporter knows. It's about resilience, sticking together and refusing to be beaten. Luton against the world. We think it perfectly captures what supporting this football club is all about.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Luton Town Supporters' Trust for their support over the past nine seasons and for helping us get to where we are today. We're incredibly grateful for everything we've been able to do together and we're delighted that the podcast can continue into this new chapter.
And while this podcast channel remains exactly where it is, we've also got brand new social media accounts. We'd really appreciate it if you'd followed us there as well and join us for the next chapter:

The Town opened up their Sky Bet League One season in crazy fashion with a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on a memorable afternoon of football in Berkshire.
The boys begin by reflecting on the wonderful news on Friday that Emilio Lawrence returned for the whole of the season before they get stuck into the game.
They go through the bumpy ride of the first half before rejoicing in the brilliance of the second period and then highlight the key attributes which bode well for a big season.
And then there's the great scuffed goal debate. What do you think?
All this and so much more on the newly rebranded They Tried To Kill Us Off podcast!

The Town get their Sky Bet League One season underway at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday afternoon when Reading host the Hatters.
Kev and The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe get together to look ahead to the match, one which will see an immediate reunion with a player who departed in the summer.
The boys have a look at the Royals, their transfer activity and a quick assessment of their cup game including who to watch out for and where their strengths lie.
The attention then turns to the Hatters as the boys discuss what and, crucially, who they want to see from Jack Wilshere’s men in the 90 minutes and go through the players who could line up for the Town in the contest.
All this and so much more, including the start of another prediction competition, on the first ever preview podcast of They Tried to Kill Us Off...

It was a day for debuts for us to talk about on our bow as the newly independent Luton Town podcast, They Tried To Kill Us Off...
We explain that change before getting into this really fun 3-0 victory over Gillingham to start the season with a Carabao Cup triumph.
And we discuss whether a star has made in 18-year-old Lutonian Benny Benagr who scored and impressed on his professional debut.
We also look back on a stellar summer and pose the question, should we temper our expectations or start getting excited about what's to come this season?
While this channel remains exactly where it is, a couple of things that have changed are that we've also got brand new social media accounts. We'd really appreciate it if you'd followed us there and joined us for the next chapter:

It is the day of destiny for the Town on Saturday when they make the trip to the Toughsheet Stadium to take on Bolton Wanderers knowing they have to win to force their way into the top six.
Kev and Jimbo are joined by Deggy for a preview of a huge game of football in an episode which was recorded at the Presentation Evening earlier in the week.
+++++ NOTE: Apologies for the sound quality on this episode. We had the plug mistakenly pulled on us, which corrupted the audio file and meant we had to use a secondary source+++++
The chaps begin with a quick recap of the award winners on Tuesday night before focusing on a game which means everything for the Hatters after the run of form they have been on.
The lads discuss the difficulty of the game and what we can expect from our opponents before looking closer to home and what the Town need to do right to ensure they give themselves the best chance of victory.
Kev also caught up with a number of likely protagonists in Lancashire on Saturday for their thoughts ahead of the final game of the regular season.

It is a huge afternoon of League 1 football on Saturday which is highlighted by Luton playing host to Barnsley in a massive match.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead to a contest which has plenty riding on it.
Before the boys go through the Kenilworth Road clash they look at the earlier fixtures and the potential changes to the bigger picture.
They then look at the match with the Tykes, picking out a few members of the opposition that need to be kept quiet on what is very much something of a revenge mission for the Hatters.
The lads then turn the attention to the home side, beginning with the role a sold out Kenilworth Road crowd has on the afternoon and then any changes Jack Wilshere could make to the starting XI and where and how the match could be won.
All this plus lots more including score predictions on the longest-running, award-winning Luton Town podcast!

A Kasey Palmer brace guided the Town to a comfortable 2-0 win away to Rotherham United on Tuesday evening to keep the play-off charge alive.
Kev is joined as ever by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on what was a rare comfortable away win for the Hatters and a very welcome one at that.
The boys begin by dissecting the many good bits of the first half before they go through the second half which was slightly more of a grind but a fairly routine one nevertheless.
The chaps then look at the bigger picture and who the win has brought back into the Town sights over the last two matches.
All this and plenty more, including your comments, on the longest-running, award-winning Luton Town podcast!
