  • Must Listen for CDN soccer fans

    After attending my first CPL match in 2021, and enjoying it thoroughly, I wanted a way to dive deeper into this league. This podcast is exactly what I was looking for, and also does the same with the CANMNT. KJ and the team love the sport, but they also care about the participants beyond the sport. The recent excellent Black History Month episode is a prime example. Keep up the great work!
