This week on the Pod, Keith, Dan, and Neil discuss the '86 Mets, William Shakespeare, Brooks Brothers, and Forward Madison with the Official Fashion Correspondent of the Pod, Mike Quieto, who answers the question, "How fashion forward is Forward Madison?"

Dan has irrupted and so we this week Keith tries to get him back in his packaging and re-acclimated to life off the bus. Then, the boys discuss the Henny Derby before talking about Wisconsin Warriors Power Soccer and accessibility in and out of the Flock End with Tyler Engel and William Schulz. Stats by OptaLee.

On this episode, the Forward's Backwards pod receives an unexpected voicemail from Gdansk, reviews the Battle of the Birds, and discusses road trips with Neil Hlavaty. Elizabeth Ann Riley of the wonderful Offsides blog (offsides.blog.home) stops by to compare game notes and discuss this day in Forward Madison History. OptaLee is off this week as he irons out his contract with the legal stylist (or he forgot).

This week on the pod, after some epistolary podcasting, Dan and Keith are joined by Neil Hlavaty to dive into Madison(or life in the Ekstraklasa). Unfortunately, we had to learn how to pronounce "appendectomy" as Chris Fox of the Flock had emergency surgery: instead, Dan provides a self-serving recap of the first annual Flock End pick-up match. Statistics supplied by OptaLee.

In the inaugural episode of Forward's Backwards Podcast, hosts Keith Poniewaz and Dan Fallon welcome guests Neil Hlavaty from Forward Madison F.C. and Andrew Schmidt of the Flock. The pod reviews last week's match against Richmond, discusses the preparations for Greenville, and reviews some of the issues in USL officiating. Andrew discusses this day in Forward Madison history, Dan discusses his football book of the week, and much merriment is had. Statistics by OptaLee.
