  • Nashville SC fan from out of town

    Pharmaceutical Soccer podcast keeps me connected as an out of town fan. I started supporting Nashville SC a few seasons ago. I am from Milwaukee WI and the only local connection to MLS was because Milwaukee Bucks player Giannis Antetokounmpo became part of the Nashville ownership group. This weekend, I had the chance to see Nashville play for the first time in nearby Chicago against the Fire and now plan to make this an annual trip with my son. Big fan of the team and big fan of the podcast!

    5-star dudes covering a 5-star team on a 5-star podcast. Still missing Stephen as a Capo but that’s irrelevant to the podcast so I won’t take away any stars. Stephen, quit your job and return to us full-time! Go NSC!

  • Geodis Energy in a Podcast Form

    Pharmaceutical Soccer isn't just a podcast. It's a Masterclass in banter, tactics and NSC therapy, with zero wasted touches.

    Listening is like watching The Boys in Gold score in stoppage time. It is pure joy with a little bit of yelling at strangers.

    If this was a player they would already have a statue outside of Geodis. Stephen, Clay & Valair never park the bus. They press high and deliver bangers in every episode.

    According to advanced analytics, this podcast is living proof that chemistry ... more
