  • Loving this so far!

    Regular Dear Hank and John listener here, so when I heard about this new soccer podcast I knew I had to come listen.

Women’s World Cups are also every four years and the US team is spectacular! Hope for a world title isn’t so easily crus... more

  • I’m so in

    I’ve been a fan of John and Hank Green for 17 years, since the early era of Harry Potter conventions and Vlogbrothers. Then 6 years ago, I married an Arsenal fan and have since become a fan myself. Am I suggesting this podcast was made specifically for me? Yes. Yes I am. But I will also recommend it to others who haven’t been as squarely targeted as I have been.
