Current: A Rapids-Centric Podcast

So, the Rapids choked on Sunday night. 

Not to be outdone by the team, your Rapids-centric podcast choked equally bad. The first half of the show (recapping RSL) has been lost to the sands of time.

We now join our podcast already in progress. Enjoy the preview of SKC.

We meet in studio ahead of the #MLSISBACK tournament to talk some sense into the MLS. Does this tournament need to happen? Does anyone else get the feeling that money is trumping human well being? We don't know, but people on twitter claim to. People on twitter know everything.

Brian had the chance to interview Acosta and Moor before they left the Centennial State. They give us some insight into isolation fitness and reclaiming the dominance they started the 2020 season with. 

Thanks, as always for joining us

MLS is racing to be the first major sport to resume play...but as a tournament contained entirely within the city of Orlando. The details are still forthcoming but it sounds like it'll be a two week knockout competition in the sweatiest part of summer. The players and staff will have to be quarantined and there won't likely be any fans allowed inside. Is this something that we should be excited about? Or is it just a tourniquet applied to try to stem the loss of passion? We all bleed Burgundy, but are we bleeding out?

Another footy free week like every other footy free week. We migrate to various areas of our houses to complain again about the absence of soccer in the world. Well, to be fair there's some Budesliga and something about Sex Dolls in South Korea? Brendan is up on all the erotic news around the globe, so lets leave that stuff to him.

Big question of the week is: If soccer came back in some kind of mini-remote-meaningless competition of third string player 2000 miles away and we can't even watch it on tv---would you care? 

Hang in there everyone. Maybe this will all end someday.

Another week of an indefinite number of weeks in quarantine and we're relegated once again to technology that vastly flies over our heads.

Brian interviewed Cole Bassett about his life in sequestration and tries desperately to tell us about it...it takes him awhile. He's so easily distracted. We spend the rest of the time chatting about other things, like how Altitude will probably screw us fans over anyway, and what's the interest level in some sort of Mutant Super League of all CONCACAF nations playing in one giant Pro/Rel league...It's just exhausting to think about.

Thanks for listening and say safe Rapids96

We take a modest step forward with technology this week and chat via Zoom, cuz that's what all the cool kids are doing. 

Without #Rapids96 news we talk future of the season and that of other sports either ongoing or coming up. It's all speculation, of course, but we ponder a life without soccer, a life without live soccer, and a life without soccer reporting.

We hope you're all safe and healthy in Rapids country. We can't wait to get back to the park.

This week the least technically savvy group of podcasters, dare I say, In the world, try to cast from our own individual homes.

We catch up with each other on our isolation activities and talk about our picks for the #Rapids96 All Time XI.

Thank you for bearing with us through the doubly rough period of fighting Coronavirus and our own technical shortcomings. We are working to increase quality for the next episode.

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay Rapids.

The MLS is 25. The Rapids are 25. It's about time for that quarter life crisis. With the league being suspended along with the rest of life in America, and likely the world, maybe--I haven't really checked--the John Mayer prophecy has been fulfilled. 

As always us victory in the home opener last Saturday against Orlando City and all looked well for the season. We at least have that to talk about before it spins off into whether or not this pandemic is Generation Z's 9/11. That somehow transitions into a talk about who made the MLS' top 50 all time players and the suspicious lack of Rapids names on that list.

As always thank you for sticking with us. We now look into the soccerless void of the early spring and try to figure out what the heck we're gonna do to fill this time each week. Any suggestions? Send them our way @Currentpod on twitter or email [email protected]

The Rapids came out of DC with three huge points to start the decade and are well on their way to living up to the hype of this new regime. We talk that fantabulous stoppage-time win and look ahead to an even more promising home opener. 

This team might just have found that elusive chemistry they've been promising us lo' these last several years. Will this be the year that 2016 was meant to be? But with flare and skill to replace luck and grit?

We have a Kortne Ford update and some roster news ahead of our prognostications on Orlando at the Dick

Thanks for checking us out and #COYP!!
