  • 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 Stas Korzeniowski Show
Q: What was the biggest 'aha moment' in your early matches with Rhode Island FC and how did it shape your approach?
It was recognizing that success would require adapting to a more physical men's game, learning to be clever with movement, and understanding that momentum can swing quickly, so focusing on consistency and fit within the team's system became key.
The Runners Up Cup Show
Q: What is the likelihood of a loan recall or sale affecting RIFC's roster later in the season?
The discussion leans that recalls would require a catastrophe or constraints at Union; the hosts think RIFC can benefit from keeping Stas without triggering recalls and may look to purchase later.
The Runners Up Cup Show
Q: How does Stas Korsanowski compare to JJ Williams, and where might he fit tactically?
Jose suggests Stas brings a physical, back-to-goal presence similar to JJ Williams and could pair with Foyó in a front two or be a target in a two-striker system, depending on tactical setup.
The Runners Up Cup Show
Q: What is the connection between RIFC and the Philadelphia Union that helped this deal come together?
The hosts and Jose discuss shared staff ties and a broader academy-network relationship that facilitated the loan, including former Union staffers working with RIFC and familiarity with players like Stas Korsanowski.
The Karifa Yao Show
Q: What stood out about the Rhode Island FC project when you joined?
The first-season plan in Bryant and the overall stadium project plus the league ambition stood out; I felt it was a good fit and a real chance to grow.
