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: The Sweater Song
Despite D.J. having the busiest 48 hours ever, the guys still managed to squeeze into the booth last night to deliver your normal weekly dose of #Pondcast. Of course the “WSOTP Podcast Derby” between Chelsea and Spurs needed covering, especially with the guys watching it together on Saturdray for the first time ever. Too, there […]
#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: you’ll never believe the three at the top
Despite nearly 30 hours of driving over the course of three days, D.J. made it back in time from another soccer excursion to record this week’s episode of the WSOTP Podcast — likely due to unhealthy amount of Red Bull. So what did the guys cover once he finally pulled back into Ohio? The guys […]
#Pondcast summer special 3: cincinnati soccer media roundtable
We’ve been talking about recording a podcast live at our favorite neighborhood soccer pub — friends and soccer evangelists, Rhinehaus, in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district — for just about as long as the #Pondcast has been around. And just as the stars finally aligned to make it a reality with a really cool cast of guests too… we […]
how much weight can you hold on your shoulders?
When I think back to when I was a junior in college — sadly, over a decade ago at this point — and try to remember what responsibilities weighed heavily on me, my “burdens” were pretty typical of your average college aged guy. There were of course my studies, which probably deserved higher priority than they received. There […]
WSOTP pod: post-mexico meltdown mode
Though we considered abstaining from joining the cacophony of voices out there screaming about the need to burn down the US Men’s National Team’s house and condemn the players and coaches… the allure of joining the chorus was ultimately too strong to resist. As such, D.J. and Jeremy offer up their reactions to the CONCACAF Cup […]
WSOTP x AO: just for tonight, let’s be lovers
This is a short excerpt from my first featured post for the American Outlaws — the largest and most well-known US soccer supporters group — and their newly launched blog, ‘Voice of the American Outlaws’. After applying in December of last year, I found out in May that I was one of nine lucky entrants to be […]
WSOTP pod: this is not a dos a cero
This past weekend had it all: an Arsenal-United smackdown, a five-goal masterclass from Sergio Agüero, yet another Chelsea trip up, one manager quitting despite a positive result, and another manager losing his job after a somewhat positive result. Oh yeah, and there was USA-Mexico roster release that’s inspiring loads of questions of yet another manager, and […]
