I enjoyed it.

Thanks.

I find the Washbag a bit annoying,it lacks imagination and just does Adver stuff. I don't see the point.That said I quite liked the last Podcast (It was before Wembley right?) bit sneery and earnest but worth a listen none the less.

Great to hear Jan Aage...and I have enjoyed Fraser Digby's insights into Lou, Ossie and Glen (as well as John Gorman and McMuck).  Radio piece however a little long for me at an hour though if I was more techy it would be good to download for a prematch drive.  Looking forward to future interviews and, as ever, your faetures

An hours to long? You've either got ADHD or watched to much Network 7 in the 80s..

Fantastic.  That's tomorrow's commutes in & out of London sorted.

Latest Episode - Episode 4 published 26th August 2012 - Unbeaten start without Caddis, plus an interview with Nicky Summerbee

Host Christopher Panks discusses recent events at the County Ground with BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan and Alex Cooke.
After reviewing the implications of Caddis’ likely departure and Town’s unbeaten start to the season with games against Brighton, Hartlepool, Crawley and Franchise, Christopher has an exclusive chat with former STFC wideman Nicky Summerbee. The interview covers Summerbee’s time at Swindon, his appearance on record Breakers, his move to Manchester City and more. The second part discusses a return to form for Raffa de Vita, Simon Ferry’s contribution to the team, the reasons for a goal shy strikeforce and that Crawley drum.

Good listen :clap:

Each to their own, but personally I think the washbag is ace. Add to that Swindon-town-fc.com (best stats site I've ever come across, anywhere) and I think we are pretty lucky.

As a Washbag writer, and since this time on the podcast, I was just wondering what bits you think are too like the Adver? Is it the match reports and previews etc? Or the indepth features? And, what would you like to see? Just interested for myself.

Really like the Washbag, good articles and always an easy read. The content of the podcast is, in my opinion, very good too. The only thing that bothers me is the audio levels in the podcast are all over the place.

In this last edition I had to turn the stereo up really high to make out the phone conversation with Nicky Summerbee, and then the folky music kicks in right after the conversation ended and nearly blew my speakers/eardrums. Also, quite often different presenters of the podcast either have their mics at different levels or are sitting at different distances from the mics, making some loud and some faint, which can make conversations hard to follow.

It's still a really good listen, but if this could be sorted it would be awesome  :)

There is a new Washbag podcast today, and since no one has done the official post yet, I'll leave this here: http://wp.me/pLVeZ-3ul.

Latest Episode - Episode 5 published 16th Sept 2012 - Defeat, defeat, defeat, crisis?

Latest Episode - Episode 7 published 14th Oct 2012 - Sky Blue thinking needed to get around transfer embargo

Host Vic Morgan discusses recent events at the County Ground with Ron Smith of TheWashbag.com and Sam Morshead Chief Sports Writer at the Swindon Advertiser.

After reviewing Swindon’s comeback to draw from two goals down against Coventry City, the three discuss the impact of injuries on Di Canio’s squad. Chris Panks then presents an interview with Swindon Town Physio Paul Godfrey on heart defects in footballers and a report from the recent charity match at Fairford Town. Then we turn to the big issues of the past week, the impact of the transfer embargo and is there any substance in Di Canio’s threats of departing if he cannot strengthen.

Unfortunately this was recorded before news broke of Wray's departure, typical...
