We continue our run of close-season special episodes, with Ian in the chair this week.

In the first half, he catches up with Newport County royalty and all-round good egg Nic Johns to hear about life as a lower-league football photographer. Nic gives great advice for any budding toggers wanting to get started, reflects on her favourite (and least favourite) grounds to visit, and also talks about her passion for wildlife photography.

Then, in Part 2, we have one of Ian's famous audio match diaries from a northern town as he reports on County's pre-season friendly at Sheffield FC. A day to remember for the Triallist family, but a head-scratcher for anyone trying to keep track of the substitutions...

Be sure to check out our other summer specials - they cover the supporters' meeting in June (Ep129), a canter through what makes a great football shirt (Ep130), an analysis of recent trust goings-on and transfers (Ep131), and a chat with County in the Community (Ep132).

As always, drop us any feedback via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.
