After years of him asking us to call him on a Saturday evening, he decided to call us! An absolute delight to have Rob Phillips, one of the premier voices of Welsh football on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Wales Sport - and a 1912 Exiles listener at that - join Jamie Harris for a chat.
A Newport-born boy, he shares stories about his time reporting on the club in the 80s; his interactions with the likes of Justin Edinburgh, Dave Boddy and Graham Westley; and in more recent years in the Flynn, Rowberry, and Coughlan tenures.
He also shares stories from covering some of our biggest games in recent years, including having to stand on a box to commentate on the Great Escape finale, and a run-in with Justin Edinburgh's crystal ball.
An enlightening, honest, and entertaining presenter, who leaves you feeling buoyed and optimistic, but mostly reminds you that it's just fun to watch football. (Rob, not Jamie.)
We'll be back with some of our panel after next weekend's match against Sutton. Do send any feedback to us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn in the meantime.
We also, as you may notice, have a new theme tune - a big thank you to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for giving us permission to feature their single Discoland. Please support them by buying their music, catching them live or making a donation to Kidscape who are their chosen charity.
Additional music: Virgo by Sean T.
