The Dandies were recharged, but the Dons were revolting... We dissect a dull deadlock in the league opener at Livingston; contemplate the prospects for progress from the Europa League play-off round; and look forward to our first home game of the season on Sunday.

What we did this Summer; we assess the Dons readiness for what will be a deluge of football in the next few months.

It's everything you ever wanted to know about the Europa League play-off and beyond, but were afraid to ask. We go deep into the barely penetrable forest of UEFA regulations so you don't have to so that you're clued up ahead of AFC's return to Europe in August.

An instantly forgettable final day invoked memories of some dark times earlier in the season and we review it all in this end-of-the-campaign podcast, along with assessing who will be here next season, and which areas of the side require the most major work.

Looking back on one of those nights that make all the other games that you suffer through worth it, as Aberdeen, yes this Aberdeen side, seal a third place finish at Pittodrie.

You can hear the nerves jangling on this week's podcast as we head into a do or die (or maybe it won't be either of those things) match on Wednesday night.

Conference League shot down, Gothenburg heroes celebrated, a point smuggled away from Pittodrie, and all roads lead to Tynecastle. It's the definitive round-up of your week in red.

Join us for our first stand-alone podcast dedicated to the AFC Women's team. Host Martin Ingram is joined by former performance analyst for the SWNT, and Sophie Goodwin, journalist for the Press and Journal/Evening Express whoo's followed the side all season. There's also an interview with team captain Loren Campbell, the Dons captain, who looks back on the journey for her team so far, and what's been a difficult second season in the top flight.

Still smarting from another remarkable bit of Scottish officiating at Ibrox, the two Martin's/Martyn's are back to cast their over a week ahead that will resonate with the triumphs of the past, but could go a long way to securing a big reward for the future.

A look back on a beautiful Pittodrie Sunday afternoon.

Recording of the show that went out live on Twitter on Wednesday when Martin joined up with Richard to react to the outcome of the Graeme Shinnie appeal.

Improbably, the Dons are in third and have something to lose now. We ask whether that changes anything for Barry Robson's footballing juggernaut.

As the gap narrows and Aberdeen take the race (stumble?) for third into their own hands, it's nice to know that some things remain constant - a terrible St Johnstone versus Aberdeen game to review.

An acceptable fudge? Thoughts on the sort of, almost, nearly appointment of the next Aberdeen manager. And welcoming new series regular Martin Ingram who brings us his Northern Light moment.

Anthony Evans and Martin Ingram are the guests on this season's post-sacking show after an utterly desperate week down Pittodrie Street.

It's a podcast on a club statement that says nothing. A new low, even for us.

We live in a hyperbole-rich age, but even so I think it's fair to describe Monday night in Darvel as our single worst ever result. Lewis Walker joins us to break down the match and its inevitable, although weirdly delayed, implications.

Wounded, but defiant; Understanding, but filled with regret. This week's podcast is full of emotion as we look back on the League Cup Semi Final. Emoting along with us are Simon Catto and John Callan.

Thoughts on a busy evening of incoming and potential outgoing at Pittodrie tonight, and specifically on the return of former Captain Shinnie.

The annual Here We Go quiz is back, with six punters aiming to make their Christmas just that little bit more special.

Guaranteed Christmas-ruiner inside. Open this present with caution.   A look back at St Mirren 3 Aberdeen 1.

A season in microcosm this week; one confident home win, one dodgy/stodgy away performance. Northern Light number 3 comes from Martyn, while David MacGregor is with us, and he's Nothing But Heart.

Saturday's bravado game plan dissected in the company of Michael Grant, who also gives us the second of our Northern Light moments.

Phil McDonald is with us to talk away wins, stadium fantasies and looking upwards.   Also, the first entry onto our list of Northern Lights.

What a difference a win makes, and what a difference a Duk makes as we look back on the 2-0 win over Hearts at Pittodrie in the company of Mark Elrick.
