Episodes

No.59 - R9: Orange Crush, meet Ragnar Lodbrok (and a bit about Collingwood being good @ the MCG) 14.05.2023

Never Surrender by the Squinters is the best (and only) fan-produced GWS Giants AFL podcast on the whole interweb. Proudly unauthorised (and - so far - unsponsored but if any Giants fan owns a company and wants amazing publicity for a nominal sponsorship landing all the Squinters in clover then come running at NEVERSURRENDERPOD@GMAIL.COM), always unfiltered and utterly uninformed. Until now. Yes,...

NO.58 - R7: THE SWANNIES WEREN'T GREAT @ THE SCG BUT THAT'S THERE PROBLEM 30.04.2023

Bubs was there! He saw Toby Greene do the things! for real! and he has opinions about who was good (we like snooze) and who was less good (also about Lawso's Copenhagen cold take on Lachie Ash) and he shares them with Needles on the only GWS Giants AFL podcast, Never Surrender by the Squinters!

NO.57 - R4: Essendon @ who cares where (down in the dumps and grumpy as hell) 11.04.2023

There's a lot to be angry out, and the Squinters - your hosts of your favourite GWS Giants fan-made AFL podcast (because its still the only one), Never Surrender by the Squinters, are angry with you. Not only are we the first podcast ever to use ChatGPT for their content in an attempt to get a runningstart at bowing down to our AI overlords, but, we ask, is this all there is to look forward to, th...

NO. 56 - R1: ADELAIDE CROWS (again) @ The Beanstalk #isitweird(butgreat)whenwewinorisitjustus? 19.03.2023

It's 'Never Surrender by the Squinters' (again) - the self-styled greatest (only) GWS Giants AFL podcast done by fans, for...mostly themselves (ie; fans) talking about an Adelaide game (again) that we won (again). You'd think there'd be less to talk about - everyone was GREAT! - but in fact there was, Bartman was in surgery, Needles was on the road and the Sparrow was at the game in the shade with...

NO.55 - Sparrow made me upload '2023, by the Squinters, for the Sporting News' 16.03.2023

So Mainstream AFL Media has again been lured into some very Squinters-shaped rox by our siren song. Here is a little orange amuse bouche from Sparrow and Needles about how the GWS Giants are going to have a rebuilding year by winning the flag in a scrappy fashion (thank-you Lawso and Coco) that we recorded it for the Sporting News, which may or may not be a thing, but the guy, Aiden, who asked us...

No.54 - The Emergency Pod We to Have #Leon's Out 12.05.2022

Well. That really escalated, didn't it? Growler, calling for #LeonOut since 2010, got his man yesterday morning when Coach Cameron pulled the pin. This pod is for Lawso who immediately joined Coco on the ledge and started regretting what he had wished for, called for an emergency pod and then promptly made himself unavailable. The Squinters were the first in Australia to know about it because, eve...

NO.53 - R822: Pussycats at the Golden Egg 08.05.2022

THIS is the Never Surrender by the Squinters Alex Williams tribute pod. A GWS Giants AFL podcast inspired by Alex Williams, demanded by Alex Williams and dedicated to Alex Williams. Like they say Alex Williams, be careful what you wish for. He asked Sparrow why we hadn't dropped a post-Adelaide smashing revel in the glory. Sparrow said it was in the can. Sparrow was lying. Feeling guilty about his...

NO.52 - R522: Demons at the MCG (just, urrgghh...arewerite?) 19.04.2022

This is Never Surrender by the Squinters, the AFL's only fan-done AFL podcast, unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed. Dr Nangs and Needles have a lot, and I mean A LOT, to say about that Zeppelin-fire of a football match on Saturday night. But it's too good to summarise here. Go Giants... Find us at www.thesquinters.com, speculate with us or against us at neversurrenderpod@gmail.com and on the T...

NO. 51 - R222: F****** Richmond Tigers @ the MC-F******-G where we failed to fire a f***- ... a shot, again. 28.03.2022

Ya know, if every man jack of the Squinters - particularly the ones who come on the podcast - weren't such downright outstanders, than recording the only AFL podcast about the GWS Giants made by Giants fans, to wit: 'Never Surrender by the Squinters', with the Squinters might be a bit of chore. ESPECIALLY after the shit we dished up against Richmond's magoos. As it was, Bubs, (still in the country...

NO.50 - R1(22!): Bloodies at Stadium Australia (always was, always will be) 21.03.2022

It's Episode 50! Half-a-century. The big five zero. Cinquenta (I think...Spanish listener let us know at neversurrenderpod@gmail.com). It's good to know we got there in the end at the start of the Giants' first premiership season. It didn't begin with the win Bubs, Coco and Needles thought we'd get as we discussed seasonal prospects and predictions over cakes and gallons of French Press coffee at...

N0.49 - Elimination Final v the Schwannies @ University of the Apple Isle Oval, Launceston ('Cause the 'Rona, OK) 31.08.2021

Yes, we have an opinion on Toby (everyone has an opinion on Toby, arewerite?) but the real reason to listen to this outstanding iteration of the AFL nation's favourite Orange-flavoured GWS Giants' fan podcast is the dulcet, sorely-missed tones of Never Surrender by the Squinters' hirsuite hero - ROMAC! The Swans were great and bode well for the future, the Giants were better and are ready for toda...

NO.48 - R.20: CATS AT THE CATTERY (take 2) 10.08.2021

[Don't really know what happened there. Once more with feeling.] All it took to get a bit of the band back together was at least our 3rd greatest, bravest, defining wins in the club's history this season. We have developed high standards. It's probably going to be now and then from now on. It's Never Surrender by the Squinters - the only GWS Giants fan podcast and we (Needles, Sparrow and the good...

NO.48 - R.20: CATS AT THE CATTERY 09.08.2021

All it took to get a bit of the band back together was at least our 3rd greatest, bravest, defining wins in the club's history this season. We have developed high standards. It's probably going to be now and then from now on. It's Never Surrender by the Squinters - the only GWS Giants fan podcast and we (Needles, Sparrow and the good Dr Nangs in his podcasting hat) got around some whisky, schhhhhh...

NO.47 - R.14: Carlton at the Beanstalk 21.06.2021

Alright Giants, let's get to work. So many questions! How about Jeremy Finlayson jagging 5 snags? How about beating up Carlton by the biggest margin they've suffered all year? How about Briggsy's first win? How about Iassc Cummings kickin' his first ever with bomb monster? How bad is Josh Kelly's ankle? None of these were answered on Saturday by Bubs, Dr Nangs and Needles as they pulled together s...

NO.46 - R12: NORTH MELBOURNE AT BELLERIVE OVAL 14.06.2021

Alright boys, let's get to work. Squinters, Orange Crush, AFL pundits and wider community all rightly riveted to Never Surrender by the Squinters - the GWS GIANTS on Sunday, June 14 2021 is a game that will live in infamy. It is the game that started the swell that became a wave - LEON OUT. Find out why ("It's just not good enough - they're LAST!") in this pod as Needles interrogates Bubs and his...

NO.45 - R10 & R11: WEST COAST AT THE BEANSTALK (yeah!) AND THE LIONS AT THE GABBA (nah) 02.06.2021

Alright boys, let's get to work. Never was it's better late than never better suited than for this episode of Never Surrender by the Squinters - the AFL's only GWS Giants fancast. Holidays up the coast, computer deaths, two games to talk about with whiskey, NeedlesJN, Dr Nangs and special guest (the surprisingly reactionary) Gibbo. We ride the West Coast win wave - a couple of moments for extra-st...

NO.44 - R8 & R9: BOMBERS AT THE BEANSTALK AND THE TIGERS AT THE MC- MARVEL. WAIT, WHAT? 17.05.2021

Alright boys, let's get to work. Massive games, massive amounts of content. So much stuff to yarn about that on this week's episode of Never Surrender by the Squinters - the only GWS Giants AFL fan podcast - Cheese, Mal Michael, Dr Nangs and NeedlesJN (from the bottom of fucking well it would appear) don't manage to talk about Toby Green's shoulder fuckture (we didn't know), Tom Green's rising sta...

NO.43 - R6 & R7: Doggies at the Golden Egg and Adelaide at their Oval 03.05.2021

[Today we play our exclusive, contraband recording of the $20,000 rocket Jase McCartney's gave the umpires. Hear it here first before the mainstream media get their hands on it.] Find us at www.thesquinters.com, repeat www. THEsquinters.com, like we always said, speculate with us or against us at neversurrenderpod@gmail.com and on the Twitter... Unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed, Never Surre...

NO.42 - R5: DERBY DAY! Swannies at the SCG (with our lads in those smokin' dark charcoal numbers) 19.04.2021

www.squinters.com, neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. and on the Twitter... If a week is a long time in footy then a win is the best time in footy - and if that win is a drag 'em down, knock 'em out, come from behind, jag a goal and winnit in the last minute against the Swans kids withour kids who were younger than the Swans kids, while Buddy - the nearly Giant and ornament to the game - kicks 5, then f...

NO.41 - R3 & R4: Demons at the Golden Egg and Collingwood at the EmmaCeeGee 15.04.2021

www.squinters.com, neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. and on the Twitter...where Scotty 2 Hotty sent us a very funny Judge Judy "What the Fuck is Going On with the Waiting" meme. Bravo. And Sorry. 'Never Surrender by the Squinters' is the only GWS Giants AFL podcast by the Orange Crush for the Orange Crush. And this one is a lovely little early Thursday morning in Canberra/late Wednesday evening in Lond...

No.40 - R2: Fremantle @ Optus Stadium 29.03.2021

www.squinters.com, neversurrenderpod@gmail.com. and on the Twitter. Never Surrender by the Squinters is the ONLY GWS Giants AFL podcast by the Orange Crush for the Orange Crush. And this pod has a fanrant for the ages - that's all I'm going to say. Like Mal Michael, Sparrow and Needles, get the popcorn, find a comfy seat, put some earphones in, turn the volume up to the max and buckle yourself in...

NO.39 - R1: St Kilda @ The Beanstalk 21.03.2021

Unauthorised, unfiltered and uninformed. And the Giants lost. Oh...well, that's a bit of a piss on the icing in the cake isn't it? At home.

www.thesquinters.com. Also on twitter. **Speculate with us or against us via neversurrenderpod@gmail.com, via the website through our sweet contact form or on twitter and instagram. No bedtime story in this one, just a songs, and some more serious comments from the once funny Penny Wong.

NO.38(i) - Season 2021 Preview: Time to find out what we're really made of 14.03.2021

www.thesquinters.com. Also on twitter. Once more with feeling, friends, with lots and lots of feelzings. 2021 is coming on strong so we don't have much time to talk about what happened since 2020 thankfuckfully buggered off. In fact, so MUCH happened over the summer that we didn't really get time to talk about Jezza or Zaccy leaving, but who cares? They left, good for รฉm, we've got Tanner to talk...

No.37 - GF2020: Tigers v Cats @ the Gabba 24.10.2020

www.thesquinters. You didn't ask for it, but you should have, so here it is! Never Surrender by the Squinters, the only GWS Fan podcast, doing a pre-2020 (mickey mouse year amirite?) Grand Final pod (you BEAUTY!!!!) where we hardly talk about the GF but instead try and work out what in the name of all that's holy is going the hell on at Giants HQ. Rest assured, after 40 mins of considered opinion-...
