#Pondcast: Yet another World Cup preview

11.12.2022
#Pondcast: Going back to Cali

09.01.2022
#Pondcast: VAR, kits, and transfers… oh my!
Even though child-born illness kept D.J. and Jeremy physically apart this week, the guys gathered together digitally to bring you this week’s show. To make up for that, they stuffed in not only a small review of the last two...
08.25.2022
#Pondcast: Topsy turvy
This Premier League season we’re currently all experiencing is certainly giving us some sort of ride. Just last week, we were discussing Manchester United hitting their lowest point in decades. This week? They’ve bowled over a flagging Liverpool. Meanwhile, Leeds...

05.05.2022
#Pondcast: The fourth is strong with this one
Recorded on what is arguably Jeremy’s least favorite fake holiday — May the 4th — and after he took in a similarly-themed match (and win!) at our local MLS venue, this force was definitely working through us on this episode....
04.28.2022
#Pondcast: Constantly shifting landscapes
The business end of the English campaign has arrived, and as usual, it’s tough to make out where things stand each week in certain parts of the table. On this week’s show, we discuss how the neat and tidy placements...

03.09.2022
#Pondcast: What’s a Chelsea worth?
Have a few spare billions burning a hole in your pocket? Then you could be the cool new owner of London’s Chelsea Football Club… presuming Roman is cool with you taking it off his hands. And on this week’s episode...
03.03.2022
#Pondcast: We’re talking about Putin, too
Like the rest of the world, we’ve been watching the events unfold in Ukraine over the last week. And though we’re privileged to not be active participants in the acts of war, it’s natural to speculate how that might impact...
02.23.2022
#Pondcast: The domestic preview, 9th Edition
It might just be February, but with matchday one of the 2022 season looming this weekend, it’s time for the Pondcast’s annual Major League Soccer preview. The boys share their normal picks — playoff finishers in each conference, Supporter Shield...

#Pondcast: Don’t blame me, blame the loophole
With Jeremy off on parental duties in the supposed “most magical place on earth”, we roped in longtime friend of the #Pondcast, Fletcher Sharpe (@SaintFDW) of Daily Detroit to fill in. Together with D.J., Fletcher helped rundown some of the...
01.13.2022

#Pondcast: 2020-too
The boys finally reconvened for a return to the booth to record the first #Pondcast of 2022, which is starting to increasingly feel like 2020 all over again. After nearly a month away from the mics, we’ve seen a rash...
12.15.2021
#Pondcast: Did I do that?
On this week’s show, the guys can take comfort in knowing there’s no way they can put in a worse performance than what UEFA put out for this year’s Champions League draw. In addition to that hot-button topic, the guys...
