ASA Podcast XLIX: There's no Sound in the Galaxy, Nguyening, Meniscus, and Proactivity

/

This week the pod is broken into two segments; one with Drew and Harrison, the other with Drew and Matthias. Drew and Harry talk Sounders vs Galaxy, and look at how badly the Galaxy would need to eff up to blow MLS Cup 2014. Then Drew and Matthias talk Red Bulls v Revolution, and what it would take for New England to pull the upset.

ASA Podcast XLIII: The one where Matty Makes the Call

/

Hey everyone, here is our latest exhilarating podcast for your listening pleasure. The delay this week in posting was largely due to us switching to ‘Mixcloud’ for the conceivable hosting future as we move way from our current site and into a domain of our own. Admittedly, we ate up a good 15 minutes in the start of the podcast talking about the Seattle-Portland match, but you saw that coming…right? The rest of the podcast is also solid, and perhaps more importantly, less Cascadia-specific, so don’t give up on it just because of that segment!

Podcast XXXVII: The One Where We Talk ExpG

/

Don’t get too excited about the title. We really don’t go into this nearly as much as we probably should have. We draw a lot of our thoughts from the 11tegen11 article that sets the table nicely for the discussion, and we just kind of build around that.

The audio for the first portion is a little maddening. We had a few problems, but everything was cleared up after about the first 20 minutes, so don’t be deterred from finishing this one. There are some good points made by Drew and me, if I may say so, which make it well worth a listen.
