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 moved a step closer to a Wembley appearance but dropped more points in League 1 on Saturday when they were held to a 1-1 draw at Port Vale.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on the week that was, beginning with progression in the Vertu Trophy with a 2-1 win over Plymouth Argyle.
The attention then turns towards the disappointing draw with Port Vale where the boys look at the good bits as well as the all-too familiar bad bits from a 90 minutes which continued to see the Hatters’ promotion hopes weaken.
The boys then look ahead to the Vertu Trophy semi-final, where it stands in the season as a whole and the chances of making it to Wembley.
All this and so much more, including your comments, on the longest-running, award-winning Luton Town podcast!

The Town suffered late heartache which they brought on themselves when an injury time equaliser for Burton Albion saw them leave Kenilworth Road with a point on Saturday.

The boys then pick out some of the comments from our viewers to discuss and address some key topics to move forward with.

It was another night to forget for the Town on Wednesday night when they were deservedly beaten 1-0 by Wigan Athletic at the Brick Community Stadium.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on a night we have experienced all too often in recent times.
The boys gloss over the game and concentrate on the fallout of the contest and the huge opportunity that the Hatters missed to make something competitive of their league campaign.
The lads debate where the Town go from here and then there is a look ahead to the Saturday home game with Burton Albion and what that could entail in terms of the opposition and the Luton starting XI.

The Town are back on their travels on Wednesday evening when a trip to the Brick Community Stadium awaits them ahead of a must-win clash with Wigan Athletic.
Kev is joined once again by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead to the match against the League One strugglers.
The boys reflect on what they have seen from Wigan that suggests they should be ideal dance partners for the Town to end their barren seven-game away run against and how Luton can take full advantage of that.
They discuss what can be done differently to try and get the result, who to watch out for and lots more around a game that the Hatters simply have to win to offer hope that promotion can be achieved this season.
