- Return of the G.O.A.T. + The Start of Pre-Season
We’re back to talk Charlotte Independence pre-season!!
This feels like the longest off-season in the history of sports, but we’re back talking new signings and breaking down the first pre-season game under new head coach Jim McGuinness!!
First we talk about the GOAT, Jorge Herrera and if this is the year that we finally see him move more into a substitute role off the bench. Next we talk about the addition of Abdoulie Mansally and what his many years in MLS may bring to the squad. After that we talked about the un-official but totally official loan signing of Andrew Gutman and why he’s one of the more intriguing player signings so far. Last, we discuss the addition of the pizza man, Dominic Oduro!
Finally, we end the episode talking about the pre-season game, a 3-2 victory against the Blue Devils of Duke University.
We hope to see as many of you as possible at the next two pre-season games this week!
Thank you for listening!

- 70 - What Could Have Been?Alex and Ben are back to talk about the Tampa Bay Rowdies v Charlotte Independence game!!

- 69 - Hope Killed the GooseMuch like PENvCLT, this episode rocks back and forth between fun and sad, miserable and entertaining. Alex and Ben discuss the good, Zayed’s two goals, the bad, giving up two goals in ten minutes, and the ugly, Bilal Duckett’s poor shoulder.We also argue about the definition of mediocre and whether or not the Independence fit the description this season.It was a tough way to draw a must-win game, but there is always some fun to be had on Talkin’ Jacks. We hope you enjoy the show.Thank you for listening!Come on you Jacks!Instagram: @talkinjacksTwitter: @talkinjacksFacebook.com/talkinjacksMusic: "Good to Be Alone" by The Bomb Busters, used under Creative Commons35 min
