An exciting milestone for the pod, as Ian & Ed sit down with County's head coach, Nelson Jardim, for an in-depth chat about his roots, his influences, his footballing philosophy... and his wine recommendations! A must-listen episode for all County fans.

As Jamie says at the start of the pod, there's a lot going on behind the scenes at the moment as we switch from one media partner to another and also - very proudly - begin a partnership with the Riverside Sports Bar. We'll have a bit more info for you over the following weeks - but for now please bear with us if our usually regular release schedule is a little inconsistent. It will be worth it, we assure you! We'll bring you our in-depth round-up of recent games soon, hopefully including an Ian match diary from the boys' trip to Notts County on Saturday.

You can contact us via all the social media outlets - including now Bluesky as well - and you can also donate to our ko-fi if you'd like to support what we do. Thanks to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune. Keep It County!

Lots to get through this week... Jamie is at the controls and he seamlessly weaves together:

• Ian's match diary from Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Tranmere Rovers
• Your views on County's current poor run of form
• Ed's mini match report on our local men's team, Chepstow Town
• Some VERY EXCITING news about our next episode... 👀

As always, get in touch via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any thoughts. You can also donate to our ko-fi if you'd like to support what we do.

For now, big thanks to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune, and Keep It County!

What better way to mark our Double Ton of episodes than by bringing you even more voices than usual! First there's a (very brief) live conflab outside the marquee before the Fleetwood game where Rhys, Ed and Jack contemplate how Newport County have changed in the seven years we've been podding. Then we listen back to Ed asking Hwyligan about what he saw at Priestfield on Tuesday night, before Rhys and Jamie ponder the Fleetwood game and what might have been.

Thank you to everyone who listens - whether you've been with us since Pod #1 or whether Pod #200 is your first time hearing us. You're all very welcome to get in touch via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn; you can also donate to our ko-fi if you'd like to support what we do.

After a dozen games of the Fourth Division season, we decided now was the time to have a bit of a deep dive into tactics. Ed, Ian and Jack discuss fulcrums ("fulcra"?), double pivots, and inverted wingers, drawing on what they collectively saw in recent games against Harrogate, Bradford and Chesterfield. We also check in on progress by our featured local teams in focus, Undy Women AFC and Chepstow Town, and Jack starts a beef with Spytty The Dog.

As ever, you can contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. We also say at the start of the pod that if you visit our ko-fi page then you can either give us a few quid a month, or you can buy one of our few remaining sticker packs - all funds support the pod with our costs.

Many thanks for listening - and thanks also to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune.

In a classic “give the public what the public want to hear move”, the 1912 Exiles bring you a double portion of our man on the northern beat, Ian Street. The perfect guide for a bumper week of Yorkshire away days – first at Bradford City on Monday and then at Harrogate Town on the Saturday. Both defeats, of course, but as you’ll hear there are some positives to be found amidst County’s truly woeful away form. On the way he hears from Ollie, Stu, Chris, Nathan and Andrew; if you want to be like them and come on the pod for a chat, our DMs are open.

As always, you can send the pod your thoughts via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn; you can also donate to our ko-fi if you'd like to support what we do. We’re grateful as ever to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune. We’re aiming to be back with an in-depth discussion after the Chesterfield game of what we make of Newport County after a dozen league matches of the season. Until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County

Ed is joined by Chris Kirwan of the South Wales Argus to revel in a deserved but unexpected victory at home to Crewe. They touch on Chris' talking points from the game (which are well worth a read) and consider the result in the wider context of a developing squad under a new manager.

It's Ian in the chair for this one, joined by Ed and Ollie to discuss consecutive heavy defeats to Port Vale and Swindon Town. Our trio strive for a balanced and constructive perspective, identifying the shortcomings and diagnosing possible solutions but without wallowing too much in the gloom. See whether you think their analysis gets it about right - and if you don't, contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn to give your views.

A bonus episode for you, consisting of two halves:

• Part 1 sees us sit down for a chat with Sarah and Paul from Undy AFC Women, who will be our local women's team in focus for the season. They tell us a bit about the team's background, what fans can expect if they come along to The Causeway to watch a game and their aspirations for the season. Give them a follow on Twitter or Facebook, and if you can do come and watch them at home to Wattsville FC Ladies (15 September) or Coed Duon Women FC (13 October).
• Part 2 mainly consists of a match diary by Dave from the Football League Trophy match against Cheltenham on Tuesday night, and then Ed gives a brief mention of our #4QuestionPreview ahead of Port Vale on Saturday.

No episode this weekend - instead, we'll do a bumper edition covering Port Vale (H) and Sw*ndon (a) in detail. Holler if you're at both games and fancy being part of the panel.

As ever , you can contact us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with your views, and buy a sticker pack if you want to support what we do. Thanks to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune, and thank YOU for listening.

Ian Street, man on the northern beat provides an away diary at Morecambe!

Chats with Ollie in the "tactics truck", the lovely eggs, tiny terraces, flood-light watch, third kit bashing, the return of Scouse Lewis + a rushed and breathy post-game review stamping back to the train station. Will Ian make the train home? That and more on today's match day diary.
