Whaaaaaatup and welcome back for Episode 102. This week, we're joined by Max Neve of Studio 14. We walk through Studio 14's efforts to explore the intersection of sport, society, culture, and fashion through individual case studies, and connect that to a larger conversation surrounding American soccer culture in this "wild west" landscape.

Then, we blast you with MLS updates from everything that's happened so far this season in our nation's top flight, and walk through how USL's proposed Promotion/Relegation structure could shake up the norms going forward.

Listen, enjoy, and tell a friend!

Whaaaatup and welcome back for Episode 101!

This week, we're talking all things USMNT after their Nations League exit last week. We break down some issues from a squad point of view, a federation point of view, and a geo-political (?) point of view as the US is set to host World Cup 2026 under ... difficult circumstances.

Listen and tell a friend!

Whaaaaaatup and welcome back for Episode 100 of Footy Banter. To celebrate the century mark, we broke out the thinking caps with special guest Trey Fillmore.

This week, we're talking all things soccer data and advanced metrics. How important are they as an evaluation tool? Which metrics should be used? Which should be avoided? And above all, how much do they actually matter?

Whaaaaaatup and welcome back for Episode 99 of Footy Banter. This week, we're bringing you a first (we think): a Champions League bracket challenge.

With this year's new format, the random draws are gone, and there are brackets to be made from the Round of 16 on, so you best believe we're building this one out democracy style.

The three of us will vote on each fixture, with the favored side moving on in a rapid, somewhat well-thought-out melee of prognostication.

The result? A bracket none of us really wanted or believed in, but the bracket we made with our hearts and minds nonetheless.

Enjoy and tell a friend!

Whaaaaaaaatup and welcome back for episode 98

This week, we bring on a friend of the program, Will Flannery. He's a former D3 teammate turned coach, who walks us through the managerial world of American soccer through the lens of a former player.

We talk through his coaching journey before diving into a chat about Arsenal, his favorite club. We talk through their title aspirations, Mikel Arteta's standing amongst the fans, and what the Gunners need to make it to that next level.

Enjoy and tell a friend!

Whaaaaatup and welcome back for Episode 97.

This week, we're talking all things January transfer window and building a starting XI of players who found a new club this winter. We bring some big name big money moves, and also some smaller niche transfers that we found generally interesting. But most of all, we had fun :)

Listen along and tell a friend!

Whaaaaatup and welcome back for Episode 96. This week, we're back after a our multi-week pause to bring you a special episode with special guest, Chris Bowerbank. He's representing Guerrilla FC, the club famously home to our very own Will Brock.

Chris walks us through the history and mission of the DC-based club, and walks us through what a footballing "Utopia" is all about. Flare, expression and culture are all in, while corporations and cookie-cutter styles are very much out.

Whaaaaatup, welcome back, and happy New Year! We're back with episode 95 to bring you a New Year's resolution for all 20 Premier League clubs. Is it a new signing? A new manager? Or a new stadium altogether? Listen along to find out, and tell all of your friends and/or family about it once you do. Enjoy!
