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: 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: Back on/off the tracks
A smile was permanently plastered to Jeremy’s face as we recorded this week’s #Pondcast, and not just because his Chicago Cubs are in the World Series. With Chelsea’s massive triumph over Mourinho’s United — and a flurry of other top 4 draws — he had plenty to smile about. The guys spend time recapping this past […]
#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: Look what Bob went and did
DJ’s Spurs went and demolished Guardiola’s City at the weekend, and Jeremy’s Chelsea got back to their winning ways. But both of those topics were forced to take second billing in this week’s #Pondcast discussions thanks to what Bob Bradley went and did at Swansea this week. But worry not, we still took time to delve into […]
#Pondcast: Diego Costa’s Placenta Stash
Things are very hot in cold in the #Pondcast studios again this season, and not just because of the Presidential elections. Jeremy’s Chelsea has him enveloped in sadness for the second straight season, while D.J. rides a wave of joy as his Spurs continue to produce uncharacteristic results — both of which are discussed on this week’s […]
#Pondcast: Jose’s Reds Feeling Blue
Liverpool are on a high, Manchester United on a low, and the rest of the Premier League sides are somewhere in between. At least that’s how the guys described things on this week’s episode of the #Pondcast. Also on tap this week is a look back at the first round of Champions League fixtures, a rundown of […]
#Pondcast: have a fourburger
Episode six of season four was a fun one to record, with conversation from nearly all four corners of the globe working their way into this week’s program. There was the standard Premier League dalliances, including Chelsea’s let down, Spurs’ rise and a lovely little Manchester Derby. Over on mainland Europe, there was our yearly […]
#Pondcast: why yes those are steel drums
International breaks are tough, what with the dearth of matches in the Premier League giving way to a smattering of appealing World Cup qualifiers and litany of uninteresting friendlies substituted in their place. But just because the Premier League was on break, that doesn’t mean the #Pondcast team was, too. Jeremy and D.J. used the pause in (European) […]
