  • Great Perspectives

    I appreciate the perspectives this podcast provides. The more in-depth analysis alongside the casual perspective gives excellent insight into how both hosts view the team, match, and optics around the club. I also love there is almost always a SKC podcast for my Monday commute!

  • Fun and easy listening

    I follow multiple SKC and Soccer podcasts. This has to be one of the better podcasts in regards to quality of editing and linguistic skills. There isn’t a bunch of stammering and excessive use of filler words such as “um.”

    I appreciate it keep the quality up!

  • The best SKC podcast!

    I’ve started listening to For the Glory this season and it’s quickly become my favorite SKC podcast. Chad has long been a must-follow on Twitter, and now he’s a must listen. Lots of in depth info from Chad, and Sheena’s casual perspective is refreshing. She’s also hilarious. Keep up the awesome work!
