  • 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 Boogey Man Show
Q: What is the focal point for RFC to beat Loudoun?
Control the midfield and capitalize on wings and space behind Loudoun's back three, while leveraging Holstad and Quisera to create and finish chances.
The Boogey Man Show
Q: Is RFC a top four team in the Eastern Conference?
The consensus is mixed, with RFC showing potential to climb into the upper tier if they string consecutive wins and tighten defensively, though several strong teams like Tampa Bay, Detroit, and Charleston present significant hurdles.
The Hamady Diop Show
Q: Did you know you were going to be the first overall pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft or was there some surprise left in the decision?
He largely expected Orlando to take him given prior discussions, with Charlotte making the crucial move just before the draft, which shifted his path to MLS.
The Leo Afonso Show
Q: How did playing with Messi and Jordi Alba influence your game and mindset?
Watching Messi and Alba up close raised the level of everything I did. I learned to anticipate, be one step ahead, and trust the higher-level decisions they'd make in tight moments.
The Leo Afonso Show
Q: What was going through your mind during the exchange from Inter Miami to Atlanta United?
It was emotional because I'd hoped for more minutes, but I saw it as an opportunity to grow elsewhere. I focused on staying professional, using the move to prove myself and gain valuable experience.
