  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Episode 135 - Sporting KC After Dark is Fun
Q: What did you take away from the game at large and especially how that first portion of the game went?
My takeaway is that it's more entertaining to watch soccer when goals are being scored. This game was really fun to watch and seemed to boost the team's confidence as they focused on scoring.
