Love the pod. Just ponied up for the ‘extras’. How do I access those? Thanks. Go Caps Go.
AFTN Soccer Show (Away From The Numbers) is widely considered the top dedicated podcast covering the Vancouver Whitecaps. Hosted by Michael McColl and a rotation of local footy journalists, it provides deep tactical analysis, post-match breakdowns, player/executive interviews, and a healthy dose of fan culture humor.
Far and away the best whitecaps and probably the best local sports podcast in Vancouver. Thorough detail and immense passion in every episode. Very long podcast episodes which I love. Songs add a humorous touch to an already humorous person. Would not change a thing about this podcast & highly recommend subscribing to Michael’s extra podcasts that you can find on the AFTN website
Other footy podcasts that claim to cover the Caps don’t have the passion and thoroughness of AFTN. Sure, it runs a touch long, but most of the content is worth staying for.
I really enjoy the tone of this show. You can hear the affection for the game and culture - and among the hosts as well. It’s quirky, not too serious, not a nerd fest but still professional and informative. McColl is a great interviewer in a light hearted way. Following a Whitecaps team that has been very hard to like over the years, this show is required listening for mental health.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

A talk-focused soccer show centered on the Vancouver Whitecaps and broader North American soccer ecosystems, blending match reactions, roster and ownership discussions, and in-depth interviews with players, coaches, and executives. Episodes frequently weave tactical analysis, stadium and governance topics, and cross-border league perspectives with light banter, cultural segments, and behind-the-scenes context. Notable strengths include long-form interviews, a strong sense of community, and a willingness to tackle ownership, venue, and league-wide developments alongside on-pitch coverage, making it a go-to for fans who want both local depth and broader North American soccer discourse.
