| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode at the night podcast. I'm Sam Homewood and with me is |
| 0:04.9 | David May. Hey and once again unfortunately there is no Helen Evans but his real shame |
| 0:09.9 | because she would love doing this. We are at Carrington. We are in the Academy building |
| 0:14.9 | and we're really excited because today we're going to sit down with someone different. |
| 0:17.5 | We've spoken to lots of former and current Academy graduates but we are today talking |
| 0:22.6 | to the head of the Academy Nick Cox. Amazing. Do you know Nick? |
| 0:27.3 | I don't know. No but obviously he's got one of the most important jobs at the club. |
