If you’re reading this intro or listening to this podcast, congratulations… you survived 2016. Many of you likely made it through the chaotic final few weeks of the year by bunkering down and gorging on a seemingly endless run of Premier League fixtures. And a good thing too, seeing how the Premier League normally delivers […]

#Pondcast: 2016’s Fireside Chats with WSOTP
Ahhhh… the Holidays. It’s the time of the year when families gather together, presents are exchanged, stress levels go through the roof, English soccer overindulges, and D.J. and Jeremy take a break from the #Pondcast. And normally, we make you suffer through the end of the calendar year without a new episode to help distract […]
#Pondcast: Not quite a Christmas special
The final #Pondcast episode of 2017 has finally landed on your device, and I’m sure you can hardly stand the anticipation ahead of listening to the “not quite Christmas special” the guys put together for you. A double dose of Premier League action since last week’s show is in store before we welcome on the last guest […]
#Pondcast: A time machine to 2015
With no guest joining the guys for the first time in several weeks, that left ample room in this week’s #Pondcast for the D.J. and Jeremy to really get into the meat of the weekend Premier League action. And with storylines a plenty from the likes of Leicester-City, United-Spurs and the rest of the English action, […]
#Pondcast: The Breakup
Perhaps for the first time in the history of the #Pondcast, big soccer news actually broke yesterday before we recorded the episode. So we shuffled our plans to make plenty of room to talk about Jurgen Klinsmann being relieved of his duties as US Men’s National Team Manager and Technical Director, as well as who […]
#Pondcast: Dos a Uno
International break be damned, there was still plenty that transpired over the last week to warrant a new episode of the #Pondcast this week. As such, Jeremy and D.J. tackled a smaller set of subjects this week with a heavy focus on last Friday’s USA-Mexico match in nearby Columbus. How was the post-election atmosphere? What was up […]
#Pondcast: A Red and Blue Battleground State
The North London Derby may have been given top billing in England last weekend, but two standout performances from Chelsea and Liverpool might have stolen the spotlight — and the guys were inclined to delve into all three matches on this week’s show. Moving stateside, there was plenty of MLS Playoff discussion in the cards too. Not […]
#Pondcast: Two guys from the D
For those downloading this week’s show, we wanted you to know going in it’s going to be a lengthy one — but one well worth the listen. In addition to the normal rundown of the Premier League, MLS Playoffs and the other usual weekly segments, we also welcome on our friends from Detroit-based podcast The Outer […]
#Pondcast: Another Big Match Letdown
Delayed a day because I fell asleep while the file was uploadin — hashtag dadlife — your latest episode of the #Pondcast is now finally ready for audio consumption. This week, we (mostly) skip over the dud that was Liverpool-United before digging into City-Everton, Bob Bradley’s first game in charge at Swansea and West Brom-Spurs before rounding […]
#Pondcast: Cuban pitch crisis
This past Friday, the US Men’s National Team played a historic match on Cuban soil. It was the first friendly we’ve played in Cuba since the Cold War, and WSOTP had a “spy” in the stands. WVXU/WMUB’s Tana Weingartner (@TanaWeingartner) makes her latest appearance on this week’s #Pondcast to provide her first hand account of her […]
