The World Cup ended in New Jersey, and co-host Mark Radigan was there to see it with his own eyes, which is what kicks off this episode, a discussion with his co-host John Baney and producer Andrew Leigh about that 2026 final won by Spain.

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. Other NYCFC podcasts do a great job of speaking as fans to the fans. 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.

This show centers on New York City FC, MLS, and broader U.S. and global soccer topics through in-depth team analysis, transfer chatter, and strategic context. Episodes consistently cover NYCFC form, injuries, Open Cup runs, and tactical evolutions, often weaving in World Cup news and league calendar changes. A notable strength is how hosts blend match-day banter with insider-style reporting, roster-building discussions, and rumors, offering listeners a practical perspective for understanding team decisions and the evolving soccer landscape in New York and beyond.
