New season, new Sound. Starting with a bang! Great pick with Zarek at the helm. Excited to hear what qualities he brings to the podcast. Will miss Kyndra, she is a soccer treasure!
Great content and just want more!
Steve lacks the professionalism and tact for a podcast that represents a professional football club, he may be able to write and have a solid resume however podcast was 100 fold more entertaining and opinions legitimate commentators and analyst with likes of Kyndra and Callum. Steve makes the podcast sound like a beercast.
Cal and Kyndra are a good pair, they are smart and know the game well and their passion for MNUFC shines through. Steve adds his flair but consistently takes too much time bothering Cal with things that have nothing to do with soccer. Save that stuff for the end of the podcast!

Cal is so good. Kyndra too. But the episodes with Steve McPherson are literally unlistenable. He somehow makes every attempt to make a show about the Loons to be literally about anything else. It is maddening and infuriating and beyond frustrating. He makes a great podcast truly unlistenable.
