The latest episode of the World Soccer Talk Podcast is presented by Sling. Hosted by Christopher Harris and Kartik Krishnaiyer, this episode is focused on the big debate of promotion and relegation in the USA. It's a bigger topic now more than ever, and we dissect the pros and cons of the system.

Some of the questions we answer are: Can pro/rel be successful in the United States for leagues such as USL, NISA, etc even if it doesn’t include MLS? What benefits are there to having a closed league? What would happen if leagues didn't have promotion and relegation? Does a closed league improve player development compared to open leagues? Plus, how can promotion and relegation improve the US Men's National Team?
