    <description>A podcast covering all things Somerset cricket ... or at least as much of it as we can fit into our respective daily lives! The plan is that the show will evolve over time (a bit like Cider Press's written output). We want to perfect our forward defence before we turn to the ramp shot.</description>

      <title>Dickson's Blast off</title>
      <description>Wow. What a weekend for Somerset CCC. Vitality Blast 2025 champions, a second title in 3 seasons.  

Finals Day is always a lot of fun but when those 10pm fireworks are met by your team celebrating it is oh that bit more special. 

Charlie Taylor was in the stands on Saturday while Sean Dickson was out in the middle. Together they run through that 12 hours! 

Sam was stuck on a train. Boo.

      <title>Met-no. We had a Blast. </title>
      <description>Charlie and Sam are back to discuss the end to Somerset men's ODC campaign (SPOILER: they didn't win it). 

The chaps also look forward to the return of the women's competition with skipper Sophie Luff. Oh, and there is the small matter of a men's Blast QF date with Birmingham Bears (AKA Warwickshire) on Saturday.

      <description>Ok, ok, they are sorry. Very, very sorry. Charlie and Sam didn't anticipate a gap of nearly three months between shows but sometimes life gets in the way. 



Still, they are back now and the Blast group stages are done. They got together to review both the men's and women's campaigns, while also tapping into the mind of Mr William Smeed.

      <title>The middle name game with Jack Leach and Dani Gibson </title>
      <description>Charlie and Sam are back for another season. No new logo (yet). No new theme music (yet). But a new format. It is a cricket podcast but only sort of as you know it. 

All this summer Charlie and Sam will be bringing you the stories around Somerset cricket. Yes, matters on the field will be covered. But we want to get to know the players, the personalities, the bits that may not otherwise be shouted about. Plus the hope is that we will have a little fun along the way. 

And we start with a bang - not one but two Somerset stars who also happen to play for England. Yes we have Jack Leach and Dani Gibson join the show. You're welcome.

      <title>The Need for Smeed</title>
      <description>With Somerset’s Blast quarter-final round the corner, Will Smeed is fit again and will be looking to slot into the opening berth he vacated after a hamstring injury earlier this summer. Having struck the the first century ever scored in The Hundred in 2022, Smeed’s reputation at the top of the order has garnered the interest of franchises around the world. The 22-year-old batter took the time to talk to Sam Dalling.

      <title>A Result That Suits Neither Side</title>
      <description>It was back to red-ball cricket just as the weather gets good…?! Relive a mostly scratchy draw for Somerset who took on Warwickshire as the County Championship campaign resumes, one lit up by the performances of Messrs. Aldridge, Leach and Rew. 

There’s a discussion of the loan system as most of Taunton's population is offloaded to far-flung corners of the country for a game or two at least. And the look-ahead to Durham’s long journey down to the West Country later this week is not to be missed!

Joining Sam Dalling and Harry Everett for the show once again was one of the best known voices in county cricket (and a massive Bears fan).  Aaron Viles - AKA the Cricket Connoisseur - is the founder and host of the brilliant County Cricket podcast. What do you mean you haven’t listened? No, but seriously, if you haven’t, you really need to.

      <title>Nowt More Precious Than Gold(sworthy)</title>
      <description>What a victory that was! A victory for Somerset and a place in the One-Day Cup Final at Trent Bridge in September. But also a victory for cricket. We love this tournament and Sunday at Taunton brought out the very best in everyone. Not just the runs, the wickets, the tension. But also the supporters, the relationships, the harmony. Yes, the Leicestershire fans (who were brilliant) and players left disappointed. But a much wider battle was won. Days like these count, they really do. 

Naturally, this week’s podcast focuses on that game. But we also touch on the England Lions before looking ahead to the County Championship’s return. Yes, folks, it’s back. Somerset head to Edgbaston on Thursday. Can they push for the title? (spoiler: yes).
