The regular season domestic calendar opened up this past weekend here in the United States. And while the new MLS season always inspires excitement, this year, it seemed like a bigger deal than normal. That might have had something to do with two expansion teams kicking their first ball in the American/Canadian top flight, […]

#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: 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 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 […]
#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: 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 […]
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 […]
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: pop goes the microphone
You’ll hear about it when you listen in, but I may as well give you a heads up here, too: we unknowingly experienced some technical difficulties on this week’s #Pondcast that will have an impact on the audio quality. About 5 minutes into recording, the guys heard a loud pop but couldn’t ascertain what it was and recorded […]
