United Statesa year ago - Simply the best
Bar none this is simply the best and most in-depth pod. Absolutely independent and not afraid to cover any topic, while making a concerted effort to speak to both sides of a topic.
Apple Podcasts5MesharkUnited States2 years ago - Solid SKC pod
Pretty good SKC pod. They are a bit overly positive about the direction of the club but they offer good analysis of what the team is trying to do. It can be a little hard to listen to them sometimes since they can’t bother to pronounce some of the players’ names right.
Apple Podcasts4Kyle63947United States3 years ago - Great Skc pod
In-depth tactical review and speaks to real issues with the club while being loyal supporters. Keep it up!
Apple Podcasts5Eric.Schneider.mdUnited States3 years ago - Best SKC Podcast
As a long time listener of Talkin’ Touches, I was disappointed when it went the way of the dodo. But Home and Away has stepped up and filled the void TT left behind. Quality analysis, rooted in realism unlike other SKC pods out there.
Matt and Cody provide some of the best analysis of the games. It is thoughtful and reflective of minds who really know the team (unlike a certain national podcast out there) and who know the game.
