  • Best Whitecaps podcast out there

    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.

  • Easy to like, informed, west coast soccer discussion

    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.

  • Top notch

    Excellent coverage of Canadian soccer and specifically the Whitecaps. If you are not into the CPL you can skip over that section but I personally admire their passion for including these new and emerging players and coaches in a serious journalistic way. On the Caps!

  • Real supporters of local Canadian soccer

    These guys know the game, all the ins and outs of the local soccer community and true fans of the Canadian game. I look forward to every pod and feel disappointed when I forget to listen each week.
