  • Almost Unlistenable

    Please be more concise and edit these down to 30-45 minutes. You provide some great information and insight but it takes you way too long to get to the point.

  • Episodes are too long

    I’ll start by saying I am so happy there is a venue to learn more about my new beloved team RIFC! That said, it can be really difficult to find 90minutes a week to listen to a podcast. The Pod also drags at times…edit it down to 45-60 minutes and it’ll be perfect. Sorry to say guys but not every word out of your mouths is Podcast gold. Most recent episode you acknowledged that you’ve gotten this feedback multiple times…you might want to listen to your fans and adjust.

  • Great Podcast… Listen to it

    Entertaining and informative podcast for anyone following the USL Championship team Rhode Island FC. Great for total newbs and expect it would be great if you’re a supporter from one of those “other” teams and want to know what’s happening in Rhode Island.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The On to the Next One Show
Q: If we kept JJ Williams, could we have gotten a home playoff spot?
Torin thinks the team would probably still be in a similar position because the attack lacked playmaking and support around Williams. Jason says Williams might have scored more, but that may not have changed the team's standing.
The On to the Next One Show
Q: What is our problem? The past two games, we have dominated in shots and chances. Why can't this team finish?
Jason points to frequent changes in the front line, which make it harder for players to anticipate one another's runs. Torin adds that the young attack lacks experience and that senior players need to step up.
The Don't Clam it Up Show
Q: What does RIFC need to do to take away all three points?
Carey says Rhode Island needs to score first and stay composed, then find its attacking rhythm and finish chances.
The Don't Clam it Up Show
Q: How much of this is still at stake for this, knowing that you're just choosing your opponent?
Carey says both teams should treat the game as a playoff tune-up and focus on building momentum, regardless of their eventual opponent.
The All Shucked Up Show
Q: Realistically, is this a one and done playoff year, or do you see us at least reaching the Eastern Conference final for a third year?
Jason Carey says a deep run is unlikely without a dramatic improvement, though RIFC could beat Charleston if the team plays its best version of itself.
