Southside Trap Podcast

Soccer. Game. Blouses. We made it. The Red Stars dropped their Challenge Cup roster, and their first game is in mere days. Southside Trap sat down with Hayley Snider of Actually, the Dash to break down Chicago's first opponent, their 2020 Challenge Cup Final foe the Houston Dash. Get excited folks, the games are here.

It's a podcast, about soccer! This week Southside Trap discusses, one very special Chicago Red Stars alumnus, allyship (again), USWNT call-ups, and what exactly went down at the White House this week

It's feels like the story of the preseason is starting to take shape, and we've got Scott Parkinson on the pod to talk about it! We chat drafts, new acquisitions, what Chicago's formation might look like, a healthy amount of competition, depth, taking home some silverware and what the the perfect Summertime Chi day looks like.

The NWSL announced the Challenge Cup schedule, new MKOT ownership reactions, Chicago is the west? press box sandwiches, one very special game date, and more on this week's Southside Trap. Spring is here bb's, and with it comes soccer.

What's that? It's time to talk about the 2021 Chicago Red Stars? We agree! This week, Southside Trap sat down with Chicago head coach Rory Dames to discuss the draft, preseason, roster decisions, Challenge Cup philosophy and much more.

Colleen Mares joins SST to chat about all things Red Stars! Music Mogul, Chance The Rapper Manager, and now a Chicago Red Stars owner -- Sandra and Claire chat with Colleen about her journey to ownership and of course, Chicago Things.

Valentine's, Galentine's, Shmalentine's, call it whatever you want. Something of a tenuous holiday weekend, but in a dark month we're going to grab onto it anyway! This week, Southside Trap talks NWSL testing protocol, grabbing joy where we can find it, one very good USWNT call-up, and then fully pivot into which Chicago Red Star captures the essential central quality of the timeless classic The Princess Diaries. The weekend demands talk of romantic comedies and candy best XI's, and we did our best to oblige

The planet Earth has made one full rotation around the sun, and we find ourselves back in NWSL preseason. We feel ok about it! This week, Southside Trap talks homecomings (we had to talk Candace briefly, c'mon), rosters, the hint of new Chicago investment, and how it feels to be back where we started a fateful year ago.

It's like she never left. This week, Southside Trap sat down with Nikki Stanton to remember 2019, process 2020 both on and off the field, recap the journey that brought her back to the Red Stars, and look forward to what 2021 is going to bring. Enya also comes up again. Then we hit you with international news, including a very exciting MKOT call up!

Many things happened in the NWSL universe this week, and we responded in kind. This week, Southside Trap did a quick Draft recap, talking deals, picks, due diligence, and responsibility. We then had a great conversation with new Red Stars midfielder Sarah Woldmoe, discussing many of those same things, talking the Sky Blue to Chicago pipeline, healthy competition, growing up in the Midwest, leadership roles, and things to look forward to.
