Welcome to the second episode of your new favourite podcast - Glory Days of Gold.

Recorded across two continents, Glory Days of Gold will bring you a regular dose of East Fife FC and Scottish football chat, with a splattering of interesting interviews and fun segments thrown in along the way.

This week we bring you our first interview, as we sit down for an in-depth chat with a man who has had a 20 year career in Scottish football and four spells at East Fife - Paul McManus. Paul looks back at the highs and lows of his career, his moves, his goals, his controversies, tells us the best players he's played with and against, and reveals exactly how he got his nickname of Shagger!

Plus we chat some more about league reconstruction, the new five sub rule, what football might look like when it returns to our screens, find out if Scottish international Johnny Russell fancies a chocolate digestive, and Irish band The Hitchers feature in this week's Wavelength with a song about an all-time Scottish great.

Episode 1 - Glory Days of Gold (Hello, Hello, We Are The Bayview Boys)

Welcome to the very first episode of your new favourite podcast - Glory Days of Gold.

Recorded across two continents, the podcast will bring you a regular dose of East Fife FC and Scottish football chat, with a splattering on interesting interviews and fun segments thrown in along the way.

For this episode though, we wanted to introduce ourselves, taking a trip down the Bayview memory lane as we look back at some of our favourite East Fife players, games, and moments from the last couple of decades and explain who we are and what this podcast is going to be all about.

We also look at East Fife and Scottish football in this time of Corona and ponder what the future of the game might look like, play you a punk song all about the mighty Fife, and find out if Rangers player Scott Arfield fancies a chocolate digestive.

The sound is a little bit hit and miss in this episode, so apologies for that. We plan to work on that for the next episode, but that's the perils from recording across an ocean!

Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:

01.13: Who are we? Who are we?
13.41: What does East Fife mean to you?
