Singer-songwriter Jamie Webster joins Paul Philbin and host Paul Wheelock for the View from the Kop Liverpool FC fans' podcast to talk his debut album, 'We Get By'. Just hours before its release, Jamie opens up about how he's feeling, and the process behind the album. One of the songs that features on it, 'This Place', was used by Sky Sports for the memorable montage they televised on the night that Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy. And Jamie tells an incredible story about how even he only found out it was going to be used the moment he walked into the Halfway House pub just before Jordan Henderson got his hands on the title. Naturally, there's a bit of talk about Jurgen Klopp's champions, too.

But before then there’s the Champions League final, between Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain to preview, plus a look ahead to last season’s winners Liverpool’s opening pre-season friendly with Stuttgart.

20 years on from Liverpool's historic Treble cup-winning season of 2000/01 under the guidance of Gerard Houllier, we take a trip down Memory Lane. Join Guy Clarke and Dan Kay as they reminisce on the start of the journey that would see the Reds win the League Cup, UEFA Cup and FA Cup in the space of one season. To kick the series off, which will run from August through to May, they look back on a summer of transfer activity in which Gary McAllister, Markus Babbel and Nick Barmby were all brought to Anfield along with Houllier's other recruits as Liverpool looked to start fast after a frustrating end to the 1999/00 campaign.

Analysing Anfield is one of our most-loved podcasts but the only shame is that it wasn’t going when Liverpool started to put together the squad that has developed into the champions of the Premier League, Europe and the World. That robbed the podcast’s loyal listeners of the chance to hear Josh Williams and David Hughes dig deep into the underlying numbers to explain why Jurgen Klopp, Michael Edwards and Co chose to sign the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk. So, with it all quiet on the transfer front, that’s exactly what Josh and David have done for this week’s episode. If you liked the detail the duo went into in last week’s episode on Reds news boy Kostas Tsimikas, then you are going to love this. It’s a fascinating insight into the thought process behind the recruitment of players that have become the greatest on the planet at Anfield.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

The latest Blood Red podcast, hosted by Sean Bradbury, and featuring Joe Rimmer and the Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent Paul Gorst, tries to both those answers.

Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders and elite development coach Vitor Matos are a crucial part of Jurgen Klopp's backroom team. But little is known about the pair - particularly the latter. So, for this special Blood Red podcast, Matt Addison picks up the phone to Jose Tavares, a coach who has occupied plenty of roles within FC Porto's youth academy over the years, and who worked with both Lijnders and Matos while they were at the Portuguese club. Tavares gives Blood Red the inside track on the key Reds coaches, explaining why both are so good at their jobs. Lijnders is one of the names in the mix as a potential successor when Klopp departs Liverpool, while Matos is following in the Dutchman's footsteps, having taken on a role that Lijnders used to fill. Matos arrived on Merseyside after receiving a personal recommendation from Lijnders, who labelled him Liverpool's 'best signing of the season' last year. Tavares has some great insight into both, with tales about the duo that Reds fans will not have hear

The latest Liverpool.com podcast is here, with Kristian Walsh, Dan Morgan and Joel Rabinowitz discussing one of the major storylines coming out of this summer: player sales.

The team run through the entire squad, ranking and rating the likelihood of their departures from Anfield Some are obvious (no-one is selling Alisson, Trent or big Virg, right?) but the likes of Matip, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi and even the front three cause some debate. There's also a short discussion on how awful Thomas Tuchel is, and how awful the new Nike away kit could be.

Liverpool and the Red Bull group have a special, unofficial bond that has formed over the last few seasons. On this special edition of the Blood Red podcast, Matt Addison explores just that, with the links going well beyond the transfer of Takumi Minamino and the speculation surrounding Timo Werner, before the German moved to Chelsea. Red Bull Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch begins the conversation, before we hear from Guido Schaefer, a journalist covering RB Leipzig who also happens to have been a teammate of Jurgen Klopp at Mainz, and Josh Williams, our Analysing Anfield favourite and tactics writer. On the agenda: the style of play that the clubs share, how Klopp's mentor Ralf Rangnick was vital to that being the case, the players that Marsch believes Liverpool are interested in from his team and from Leipzig, why he, RB Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann and Borussia Monchengladbach's Marco Rose could be the man to succeed Klopp when the German departs, and plenty more.
