Richmond Til We Die: A Ted Lasso Podcast

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Brett visits with Charlie Harding, host of Switched On Pop, as they discuss the incredible Ted Lasso Soundtrack.

Since Charlie has spent a lot of time thinking about pop music, we thought he’d be the perfect guest to help us figure out why the Ted Lasso soundtrack works with the on-screen action so darn well.

Charlie is a songwriter, music producer, author, music journalist, and the host of Switched On Pop. On their podcast Charlie and his co-host, musicologist Nate Sloan, explore the making and meaning of popular music.

In this episode, Brett and Charlie take some time to appreciate the incredible work done by the music supervision team in the series by examining several songs and their placement in the show.

Charlie also shares how he nearly (literally) bumped into Jason Sudeikis, pitches a song for next season's soundtrack, and speculates as to which American pop star could make a cameo in Ted Lasso's third season.

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with Rebecca Lowe from NBC Sports!

Okay, so we're not ACTUALLY live, but y'all know we can never resist a good callback! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with Rebecca Lowe from NBC Sports. She helms the studio broadcast for NBC’s English Premier League coverage, and is also called into action as the daytime host for both Summer and Winter Olympic broadcasts.

Lowe grew up in London and is a lifelong supporter of Crystal Palace Football Club, which is the team AFC Richmond are stylized after. She appeared in the second NBC Sports Ted Lasso short film, and continues to be a fan of the show.

We chatted with Lowe about the growth of the EPL in the United States, what it was like filming with Jason Sudeikis, and what her experience as a Crystal Palace supporter has taught her about life and sport.

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with Ted Lasso's emmy-winning editor, AJ Catoline.

AJ and his counterpart Melissa McCoy are responsible for compiling the final edits of each Ted Lasso episode – AJ edits the even-numbered episodes while Melissa edits the odd-numbered ones. AJ's work on Season 1 Episode 10: The Hope That Kills You was recognized with an Emmy win in 2021 for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series. And AJ has also worked on a lot of shows we personally enjoy, such as Brockmire, Black Jesus, Flavor of Love and The Standups.

In our conversation with AJ, he walks us through the editing process - also sometimes known as the "final re-write." We get into the editing choices for Ted's panic attack sequences, the jaw-dropping amount of visual effects that are seamlessly woven into the show, and ask AJ the most important question of all: When will we get a Ted Lasso blooper/outtakes reel?!

For those of you who aren’t through Season 2 yet - this is your official spoiler alert.

Welcome back to the Dogtrack, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation about Season 2, Episode 7: Headspace.

We talk about the stress of Ted's professional therapeutic relationship with Dr. Sharon, the miscommunication between Keeley and Roy as they navigate their romantic relationship, and the unhealthy relationship Nate has with his father, his players, and social media.

But it's not all bad! We also appreciate the wisdom of Higgins (and his pipe!), stake our claim on the origins of couples' jazz scatting, marvel at Beard's mastery of disapparition, and applaud Roy's skills in the department of playlist curation. Plus, Christian helps us understand both the significance of that Sex and the City scene and the cultural event of being "dunked on."
