Podcasters assemble! For only the second time ever, all five of the podcast team managed to attend the same game (albeit we only saw Rhys from across the pitch, as he waved to us from the nice seats in the Bisley Stand). And what a lovely day we had! A few jars, some decent scran in the Indoor Market, bumped into plenty of familiar and very friendly faces, and then watched an easy stress-free 3-0 home win in the sunshine. Can it always be like this, please? Ian is on microphone duty, dutifully logging the day and keeping order - but with input along the way from yer Jamies , yer Mad Jacks and yer Eds - as well as from our youngest fan(?) and burgeoning vlogger Iwan (do give him a follow).

Oh dear, oh dear... Back-to-back away defeats to northern sides around us in the table.

A mini pod, with Ed offering some pre-match and post-match words either side of a fine win against Gillingham - and getting some thoughts too from Ollie .

After a short break from pod action, we're back - Jamie is in the chair, and is joined by County blogger Mark Vickery to garner their insights on defeats to Cheltenham (H) and Doncaster (a). They discuss the need for a bit more anger from this team, Kyle Jameson's many second chances, and a possible lack of leadership. With big games coming up against the likes of Gillingham, Accrington and Harrogate, how can County address their growing list of weaknesses?

#217: Responding to questions 27:41

27:41

Ed and Ollie are the men behind the mic for this one. Under the clunky title of "Responding to questions", we do a cut-and-shunt pod. In Part 1 over a pint in the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of Welsh sports fans) we consider how County responded to the questions posed by Bradford being reduced to ten men early in the first half on Saturday. Then, in Part 2, we give some snap analysis after Tuesday night's Q&A session with the Trust and with County chairman Huw Jenkins... Was a clean sheet, a point and retaining momentum in #FightbackFebrurary worth the lack of entertainment value or attacking ambition on Saturday? And what does the open meeting tell us about the club's relationship with the Dragons, the long-term plan for our academy youth, or the future of Nelson Jardim? We consider all these points and more! We'll be back in ten days' time to review the Cheltenham and Doncaster games, hopefully with a full panel. In the meantime, make sure you join the Supporters' Trust if you're not already a member. We remain grateful to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune.

The boss is back - Rhys brings you some on-the-whistle analysis of the (lucky?) win against Carlisle. It sees County rise to the dizzy heights of 14th, having taken 13pts from their last five games. We also hear from Amber Arnie about Saturday's unexpected 3-0 away thumping of Crewe Alexandra, on what surely will be the best away day of the season. We'll be back next week with a longer-form episode taking in the Bradford game, a few other views on where County find ourselves, and also next Tuesday night's Trust Q&A.

Isn't it nice to get back to winning ways and have a bit of daylight between County and the drop zone? Ed was on duty for the visit to Rodney Parade of Morecambe in a crucial Fourth Division six-pointer. Before, during and after the game he caught up with various friends of the pod to reflect on current issues and on last weekend's win against Barrow.

No normal episode from us this weekend as we'll save ourselves up for a combined look at the Barrow and Morecambe games in the latter part of next week. Instead, we have a bonus episode in which Ian interviews the journalist Daniel Storey about his recent article in the i newspaper about visiting Rodney Parade . It's part of a series Daniel's writing as he "does the 92" during the course of the season, and it gives us a rare insight into how our club is seen by those outside. It's a great listen, and something to entertain you en-route to a pair of crucial upcoming home fixtures. In the outro, Ed plugs our ko-fi page where you can contribute as little as £2 towards the podcast's running costs. If you can't contribute, you can still help us by recommending us to a friend or writing us a nice review wherever you get your podcasts.

Our man on the northern beat, Ian Street , made the trip to Salford so you didn't have to... As well as reporting on a point gained (or two lost?) at the Peninsula Stadium, he also took in a community-run pub, bumped into a few friends of the pod (yer Diesels , yer Ollies ) and chatted with some Carl Zeiss Jena fans.

It's Ed and Simon / Hwyligan on duty, discussing Friday's defeat to Swindon (and last weekend's at Vale). We also seamlessly weave in a slew of listener thoughts on what's going wrong, how to fix it, and how best to salvage the season as County get sucked into a relegation battle. We also have some brief updates from the NCAFC Supporters' Trust about their AGM last week, and from the Newport United futsal team about their season's progress.

A big episode of the podcast, as Ian & Jamie sit down to speak with County chairman, Huw Jenkins. In the interview (recorded on Thursday evening, prior to the Tom Davies signing and the Vale game), Huw tells us about his love of football, his vision for the club, and gives an honest assessment of progress so far this season. It's a really engaging, long-form discussion, and one that County fans won't want to miss. We'll be back next weekend with a detailed look back at that away defeat to Port Vale and diseecting next Friday night's critical home clash against Sw*ndon.

With postponements and FA Cup action, Newport County has found themselves in the middle of a winter break of sorts. So with time to kill, and it being far too cold outside to do anything else, Jamie, Rhys and Ian gathered together to take stock at the half-way point of the season. Should we be in panic mode just yet? How big a loss is Bryn Morris? Why are our next four home games all nail-biting six pointers? Also discussed: a potential January transfer strategy; a dissection of Huw Jenkins’ update on the training ground, Rodney Parade, and more; and how we were royally messed around over Christmas by the fixture computer and our friends at Sky Sports. We also have mid-season updates from our clubs in focus - Chepstow Town FC and Undy Women. Also mentioned in the show was this fantastic article in The i from Daniel Storey on the club’s long-term vision. We'll be back in due course. Drop us a line via your social media platform of choice if you have any thoughts you want to share. Thanks as always to the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of Welsh sports fans) for their valued support for the pod, and to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune.

If, like us, your Sunday afternoon was thrown into chaos by the postponement of County's game against Morecambe, then here's something to fill the void. A few months back, during a lads' holiday to Cyprus to watch a Nations League match, various podcast alumni had a pub chat about "things from football past we'd bring back" and "things from football present which have made football better". We've sat on the recording because we knew a situation like this weekend's postponement would arise - so here it is, enjoy! We'll be back in due course.
