  • Very well put together

    Really enjoyed the pod series. I’ve followed the club closely for many years and learned things I didn’t know about the early history of the club, and the disastrous DH years. Still can’t figure out how the founding partners lost $72M with a crazy low $7M franchise league entrance fee, early club championship, and nearly sold out seasons for many years. Those details of financial loss were not clear.

    Overall great job KSL! Keep em coming !

  • RSL purebred

    This is a good listen. Love the inside look of things. Wove hearing from Kyle, Jason and Pablo. This is good stuff for a fan to deepen their roots in RSL and culture. Gain an emotional tie to the club. That’s ReAL stuff right there.

  • A new soccer fan

    I wasn’t sure I’d be interested in a story about soccer because I don’t know much about the sport. But this podcast is so interesting and often moving, it’s about more than a team or a sport.
