  • PARK LIFE POD S01 EP21 - WE'VE GOT SUPER GARY CALDWELL!
    Apr 26 2024

    The 2023/24 League One season is coming to an end, which means it's also the final episode of Park Life too!

    We think we've saved the very best until last with our guest too. We've got super Gary Caldwell! No, literally, we do, as the manager joins Tom to dissect the season that was - from the highs, the lows, and all in between from an absolute rollercoaster of a campaign.

    We've also recruited two members of the Grecians' faithful to give their perspective on the season, ahead of the curtain closing at home to Oxford United on Saturday - with our opponents knowing they need a positive result in order to make the play-offs.

    To everyone who has listened to Park Life this season, THANK YOU for joining us and we wish you all a fantastic summer.

    On the subject of five, that's also the number of games City have gone unbeaten after a positive Easter period, and the discuss that and much is Jack Aitchison, who has played a crucial role in City's good form.

    Regular pundit Sam Parks is back to discuss the fantastic win away at Cheltenham on Easter Monday, where he was in attendance, while Nate from the Boro Pod dials in the chat about Stevenage's race for the play-offs.

  • PARK LIFE POD S01 EP17 - IT'S HER GAME TOO!
    Mar 8 2024

    This week’s Park Life is a bumper double-header episode! It’s #HerGameToo weekend which means which both City men and women are playing at SJP, with the Gary Caldwell’s side facing Bolton before the table-topping Grecians face Maidenhead United on Sunday.

    With that, it was only right to speak to City’s HerGameToo player ambassador Pierce Sweeney who talks about why he has thrown his weight behind the campaign to tackle sexism in football and encourage more women and girls into the sport.

    One of the campaign’s founders, Lucy Ford, chats more to Tom about why it was started and the incredible progress they have made since they launched.

    Amber Pollock from City Women is also on the show, as she talks about a big weekend ahead for the side, what it means to be playing at St James Park in front of a big crowd, and an overall look at the season so far.

    Finally, one of Park Life’s regular pundits, Mikhail Shklover gives his lowdown on both matches.
