Two weeks in a row with a Thursday episode of the #Pondcast? We promise we’re not trying to make this a habit, but between figuring out how to shoehorn the show into newly adjusted work schedule and some serious technical problems… well, it’s proven difficult. That said, you’ll be delighted to learn that this week’s effort clocks in […]

#Pondcast: The Show Recorded Entirely in DJ’s Pants
A wild and chaotic weekend in the Premier League gave the guys ample room to debate on this week’s WSOTP Pondcast a number of intriguing questions. Was Palace’s upset of Chelsea enough to open the door for Spurs? Can City or Liverpool actually make up the points gap and make it more than a two horse […]
#Pondcast: We Didn’t Win Best Picture Either
With a Sunday night recording nixing our ability to talk about a Ranieri-less Leicester resurrect themselves in glorious fashion against a deflated Liverpool side, we’re presuming that’s how the Academy botched our chances of ending the evening with silverware just like La La Land. Presuming a podcast could even be nominated for a film award. Instead, we talked […]
#Pondcast: The one with Taylor Twellman
Wondering what’s in store for this latest episode of the #Pondcast? MLS Cup Final talk? Yeah, we’ve got that. A look back at the weekend Premier League action, including hot takes on City-Chelsea and North London? Double check. What about a further update and recapping of the Cosmos and NASL drama? Like we were going to […]
WSOTP pod: super soaker sunday
Not only did the 2016 MLS season kick off on over the weekend — on the so-called “Super Soaker Sunday” — but it kicked off with a 10-game bang. Not that there was room for domestic soccer’s return in the calendar, considering there were two full rounds of Premier League action, one of which included a highly […]
WSOTP pod: mls preview and a whole lot more
With weather now turning occasionally, slightly warmer, it’s about that time of year for the #Pondcast team to look ahead to the rapidly approaching Major League Soccer season. As such, Season 3 Episode 30 will serve as this year’s official ‘MLS Preview’ show. But we had to really squeeze it in there, since the rest of the […]
WSOTP pod: joy and sadness in ohio
It’s been a busy week for professional soccer in Ohio. Most of it was great, but some of it was not so much. In Dayton, a new team revealed their identity. In Cincinnati, another team announced their first class of players. And in Columbus, the biggest game on the domestic soccer calendar was staged — unfortunately, the […]
jaded
When you’re forced to wait twenty years for something — say an MLS Cup in your home stadium featuring your home team — it’s understandable that the anticipation could build wild expectations. And if you fail to seize the moment after that long wait is ended, the collapse of those expectations can be absolutely soul crushing. […]
WSOTP pod: columbus is the center of the soccer universe
OMG! OMG!! OM f’ing G!!! I’m not sure if you can tell, but the fact that MLS Cup will be hosted less than 60 miles away from WSOTP World Headquarters has me just a tad excited. That my favorite MLS team is the one doing the hosting? Yeah, that has me even more excited. So as you might […]
WSOTP pod: celebrating a century with chris rolfe
Two and a half years ago — despite nothing more to go than an occasional Twitter interaction and a fleeting encounter watching Wigan play at a podunk little high school — two guys that barely knew each other started a soccer podcast. Now into their third season and 100 episodes later, they’re somehow still making it happen. To celebrate our 100th […]
