Kings of Anglia - Ipswich Town podcast from the EADT and Ipswich Star

Mark Heath, Stuart Watson and Alex Jones convene for the first KOA pod of 2026, with Town sitting in the top two for the first time. The boys reflect on the 2-1 win over Oxford, hear from Kieran McKenna and Jens Cajuste and discuss Town’s quarter-way dip problem (trademark Stuart Watson). We also look at the bigger picture and consider if Town will now finish in the top two, take a glance at what may happen in the January window and preview the trip to Pompey. And AJ also shares a unique take on the rather lovely red sky at Portman Road during the Oxford game. Kings of Anglia is sponsored by Stardust Spirits.

Ross Halls is joined by Alex Jones to reflect on Ipswich Town’s 2-0 win at Coventry City. The boys look back on the game, where Town toppled the Championship leaders at the CBS Arena thanks to goals from Jack Clarke and Wes Burns. There’s a special mention for Burns, who scored for the first time since returning from his lengthy ACL injury lay-off. We hear from the winger, who spoke at length about the difficulties he’s faced. Then it’s onto the stand-out performers and the bigger picture, with the Blues sitting just two points behind second-place Middlesbrough. There’s also some chat around the New Year’s Day clash against Oxford United, with a winning streak the next big step in Town’s bid to secure promotion to the Premier League.

He discusses his multiple loan spells at Town, before joining permanently under Mick McCarthy, his partnership with David McGoldrick, that 27-goal season and overall spell in Suffolk. The Irishman also chats about his transfer request to join Newcastle United, playing for his country, coaching journey, his son now playing and much more.  Kings of Anglia is sponsored by Stardust Spirits.
