Are you prepared for a festive nostalgic treat? Join Rhys , Ed , Jack , Ian and Jamie for a trip down memory lane... The full panel come together over a mulled wine and a mince pie to discuss their favourite Newport County players over the years. These are not necessarily the greatest XIs of all time, nor are they based on goal records and winners' medals. But the players who have meant the most to us over the years. We pick up from the last episode, this time selecting our most loved midfielder...

No expense spared - we've cracked open the sleigh bells sound effects and can proudly bring you the first of our 2022 Christmas Special shows! In this one, Ed is on host duties. In the first part of the show, he speaks to AFC Wimbledon fan Rob to preview the sides' match on Boxing Day at the new Plough Lane. And then in the second half, he has a deep dive with Chris Kirwan (of the South Wales Argus ) and Martyn Phillips (of the Exiles Analysis account ) about what the first half of the season, a...

Ian sat down with Rhys and Ed to dissect the home win against Gillingham. They talk Omar Bogle, Yma O Hyd , praise James Waite and Joe Day, and continue the Priestly Farquaharson love-in.

A full-on panel discussion, expertly chaired by Ian - with Ed , Rhys and Esme offering their insights. We cover the recent cup games, discuss the Stockport defeat in depth, take some listener questions, and preview the Gillingham game (with help from the Gills In The Blood team).

Three games into the new era: five points, two clean sheets and unbeaten. We'd all have settled for that, wouldn't we? Ed catches up with a County legend - "Phil in Northampton", who tells us about adopting Newport as his team, following from afar, and how we looked during the draw at Sixfields. If, like Phil, you're at an away game and want to tell us about it then drop us a line via Twitter , Facebook or LinkedIn and we'd love to speak to you. We'll possibly be back later in the week to previe...

New manager, new era - but the same consistently brilliant podcast experience courtesy of the 1912 Exiles. Ed and Jack were at the back of the Hazells to watch the first match of Graham Coughlan's tenure as County manager, and found a lot of positives in the team's industry and pragmatism. We also hear from Caz at the GasCast pod on what we can expect from the new gaffer. We love hearing from our wonderful listeners, so do drop us a line (via Twitter , Facebook or LinkedIn ) with any feedback. A...

After news broke on Monday that James Rowberry had been relieved of his duties, our panel swung into action to determine whether the Board acted too swiftly or not swiftly enough, and what needs to happen next - who should we appoint, do we need to change the club's wider philosophy, and how much responsibility should the players shoulder? Rhys wrangles our panel of Jamie , Ed and Jack as they look through some of the runners and riders to be County's next manager - including some names very clo...

Jamie makes the trip to Swindon (bumping into Martyn Phillips ) for the latest Tuesday night awayday adventure. What do we make of the more pragmatic version of Rowberryball? Is Will Evans still chasing down defenders, long into the night? What are we giving the boys at half time which once again undid some very solid work in the first 45? It’s our 100th episode of the 1912 Exiles podcast - while this wasn’t quite the way we intended on celebrating, we still want to thank every single one of you...

We were going to do a big "10 league games in" analysis, but due to factors this episode is just Ian and Ed talking through County's home draw against Carlisle and pondering how much time the result will buy for James Rowberry to get this side up and running. We do so with a huge debt to the Newport County hive-mind who helped to flag some talking points, so a huge thanks to those of you who tweeted us with your thoughts on the game. THE NEXT EPISODE WILL BE OUR CENTENARY! We haven't quite worke...

Even the most positive podcast in Newport struggles to find much cheer in this one... After a dismal home defeat to Barrow, Rhys caught up with Ed and Ollie to sift through what went wrong and what needs to happen for things to improve. They address head-on the 'Rowberry Out' calls, consider whether experience is what's needed to steady the ship, and ponder whether Ed is changing his underpants regularly enough. We refer a few times during the discussion to this graphic from Martyn , showing whe...

A short episode to keep you going - not sure yet whether we'll be able to muster a full panel next weekend, so instead we bring you midweek match reaction and a preview for Saturday. First up, a big thank-you to debutant Esme for stepping up and providing a review of the Spotafan Trophy game at Exeter City - enjoy listening to her thoughts on the match and what selection headaches the win might cause James Rowberry going into the weekend. We then have an excerpt from a longer chat we had with th...

Anyone heard from the "Rowberry Out" lads, lately? They seem to have gone a bit quiet... What a pleasure to bring you reports on two victories - each magnificent in their own way. First up, we handed a 1912 Exiles debut to young Ollie Allen to talk us through the 3-2 victory against Portsmouth in the Second Round of the League Cup - and he doesn't disappoint. Then it's over to our old faithful Ian Street to tell us about the 4-0 thumping of Harrogate, and seemingly to try and get the word "charc...

WE WON A HOME GAME! Following the joy and relief of three points at Rodney Parade against Tranmere, Rhys sat down with Ed , Ian and Martyn to unpack what we can deduce from our opening five games. We also take advantage of Martyn's massive football brain by having a 'deep dive' into the tactical approach taken by Rowberry this season and examine what's worked and what hasn't. Elsewhere, Ian grumbles about his four-decade-long dislike of Portsmouth, Ed eats humble pie, and Martyn explains "4-box-...

In what we fear may become a regular feature this season, Ian managed to find some positives from a Newport County defeat. On a day Ian described as being "hot as Hades", the Exiles failed to come to the boil, so Ian's daughter's first County game was something of a disappointment. We have two home games coming up next week, against Salford on Tuesday and Tranmere on Saturday, so we'll have a full panel discussion next weekend to explore what we've learned from County's first six matches. Stay t...

Pfft, well that was a bit rubbish, wasn't it? In an exclusive* audio diary, Ed reports on Flynn's return, with input as well from special guest Simon . Like James Rowberry, they muse on how Walsall managed to escape Rodney Parade with all three points despite not mustering a single chance on goal. And in the second half of the pod, we hear from the Oak Road Hatter about how strong a side they might field in Tuesday's game in the Type 2 Diabetes Cup. (* no-one else wanted it) As always, get in to...

Big match on Saturday, innit? First home game of the season, Flynn's return, and against one of Div 4's big summer spenders. To get you in the mood and to give you some intel on the opposition, Ed caught up with the super-talented Tom Lines of One Pod Beyond to find out how Walsall have fared since Flynn took over in January and what we can expect this weekend. We'll be back soon with match reaction and possible a look ahead to Tuesday's game against Luton in the Type 2 Diabetes Cup. As always, ...

County got their first point and first goal of 2022/23 with an opening day draw at Sutton. We bring you a live audio diary of the day courtesy of Ian and Jamie , who get a bit philosophical at times, segueing seamlessly between the meaning of life and Will Evans vs Adam Lewis at left-back. Only on the 1912 Exiles pod, eh? Enjoy the episode and we'll be back during the week with a preview of the big game against Mike Flynn's Walsall. As always, you can find us on Twitter , Facebook or LinkedIn if...

The 2022/23 football season is very nearly upon us (no, really). Rhys , Ed , Ian and Jamie get together to discuss the opening day trip to Sutton, to figure out whether James Rowberry wants to play Total Football, and to take their best guess at where a final loan signing might fit in. As is tradition, Ian also leads the way with bold predictions and Ed makes the case for killing off a beloved character... We also hear from Mike at Sutton United Talk Time to get the opposition view ahead of Satu...

It may not have had anything riding on it, but that didn't stop Ian making the long trip down from Leeds and Rhys making the not-quite-so-long-but-still-a-bit-long trip from the West Country for Newport County vs Rochdale on Saturday. The team may have ended the season with a whimper rather than a bang, but your 1912 Exiles have been with you every step of the way and we're not giving up now. We'll be back soon for an EXTENDED end-of-season special with the full panel. Watch this space. Ahead of...
