James Pearce and Simon Hughes join Tony Evans during the international break for a deep dive into the life, legacy and lasting impact of one of Liverpool’s greatest ever figures — Sir Kenny Dalglish.

With special guest Asif Kapadia, the award-winning director behind Amy, Senna and Maradona, the guys go inside the making of his new Kenny Dalglish documentary. They explore why now was the right moment to tell the story, how the film came together, and what it was like working so closely with the man himself.

From Dalglish’s arrival as Keegan’s successor in 1977, to his instant success as player-manager, to the emotional burden he carried after Hillsborough, Tony, James, Simon and Asif reflect on the genius, humanity and influence of the man often described as “The Father of the City”.

James Pearce joins producer Guy to discuss his new book, Walk On: Inside Arne Slot's Liverpool, looking back on last season's historic Premier League title win.

As well as touching on the obvious inspiration for the name of the book, there are plenty of topics covered from the void left by Jurgen Klopp, the rebuilding of Liverpool's executive team with the likes of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes through to the process that led to Slot's appointment.

The key themes of last season are also discussed in how Slot hit the ground running in his role as head coach, leading the Reds to the Premier League title while contending with three of the team's star performers heading towards the end of their contracts at Anfield.
