The only original GWS Giants podcast by Giants fans
Every week, after every Giants match, The Squinters biasedly review the game, preview the next one, speculate on the giant issues of the week and impartially discuss anything else that biasedly occurs to them.
Since 2019 · New episodes after Giants matches · By Giants fans, for Giants fans
Fresh from the Studio
The latest episode of Never Surrender by The Squinters. The Big Big Sound delivered right here for your orange-flavoured listening pleasure.
Season 2026 is done. Rags, Sparrow, Orca and Needles unpack the Adelaide loss, the injury carnage, Toby's future, the farewells to Briggsy, Hoges and The Package, and somehow find a little hope for 2027.
By Giants fans, for Giants fans.
Never Surrender exists because Giants supporters deserve quality and unashamedly biased content, delivered regularly and focused squarely on matters facing the Greater Western Sydney Giants.
Produced by the fans themselves.
Since 2019, The Squinters have gathered after the siren to celebrate, commiserate, speculate and occasionally string together genuine orange pearls of wisdom and wonder.

Why listen?
But we're just as mad, passionate and emotionally invested as supporters of clubs whose colours have been handed down through families for generations. We’re building an Orange Tsunami across Greater Western Sydney and beyond — from Concord to Canberra, Ashfield to Albury, Parramatta to Parkes, and Toongabbie to Tamworth.
We are one-eyed Giants. No neutral takes. No fence-sitting. The Squinters see Orange. We bleed Charcoal.
Reviews, previews, selection analysis, injury-crisis management, media-myth debunking and all the giant issues of the week, dutifully unpacked. Unauthorised. Unfiltered. Uninformed.
Rag’s Bakes, dubious maths, Stoic Advice with Sparrow, Hairloss Journeys with Orca, plaques to hunt down across Western Sydney, quizzes with Needles, and some of the greatest footy tribute songs since Mike Brady’s ’79 masterpiece — delivered by resident musician Ragnar Lothbrok and Western Sydney RSL circuit legends, Jimmy and the Boys.
Current operators
Needles, Sparrow, Ragnar Lothbrok and Orca.
Founder · The Renaissance Man
Founder of The Squinters and visionary who pulled together a bunch of Sydney Uni footy mates to talk all things Giants in 2019. Golden Egg offical, occasional quizmaster and permanent President of the pod.
Co-founder · The Stoic
A former rugby man turned committed AFL tragic who helped build Giants Stadium and then decided supporting the club was not emotionally demanding enough. Keeps the pod moving and the Orange Army philosophically upright.
Viking · Musician · Mathematician
Joined after a sustained essay campaign on Adam Tomlinson in 2023 and became pivotal to the pod’s revival. Has actually played the game, watches every match, is musically gifted, and enjoys the occasional reckless multi on the Giants. Gamble Responsibly.
Born-again AFL nuffie
An evangelical Giants convert whose blood runs orange. Has a spreadsheet on superstitions to fill his weekends, and brings unflinching support, commitment and positivity to the pod — often including Orca Number 3 when the adults require correcting.
