For City fans this is a must-listen. I’m pumped to add this to my rotation!
Good reporting, straightforward news with good banter between the pundits. The best journalistic outfit covering NYCFC.
As NYCFC, and MLS, gradually become global brands it’s important there are podcasts that cover the team in detail for those of us outside the US.

But this new pod from Hudson River Blue is close enough to the team to be informed but removed enough to fill the gap in Big Apple professional soccer coverage left by the old-school news organisations. Thoroughly recommended.
