Let’s Shuffle!
01:13: Welcome. Moff introduces the panellists and we discuss our plans for semi-final Saturday.
07:00: The Game. The panellists analyse the recent league matches against Dundee (07:25), Hamilton (12:40) Cove (17:30), Arbroath (20:25) and Morton (22:48)
24:50: Talk to Me: Nathan Shaw. Riley sits down with ICT’s in-form attacker to discuss his first season in Inverness and his feelings about playing at Hampden, then the panellists discuss his impact on recent performances.
34:10: Hot Tub Semi-Final Time Machine 1 – 2003. Riley gets into the hot tub with friend of the pod Ross Tokely to hear his memories of playing in the club’s first-ever Scottish Cup semi, followed by the panellists’ slightly more fragmented memories of our narrow 1-0 loss to Dundee.

01:47:37: Hot Tub Semi-Final Time Machine 3 – 2019. With the water now looking a very murky grey, Caley Thistle winger Tom Walsh climbs into the hot tub and tells Riley about playing in the 3-0 semi-final loss to Hearts in 2019.
02:01:28: Talk to Me: Robbie Deas. Stevie has another chat with our outstanding defender, whose return from injury has coincided with our upturn in form, and gets his thoughts on next week’s game, and his time with the club more generally.
