  • JR is the best!

    This podcast is hands-down one of my all-time favorites—not just in the soccer world, but period. Landon and Tim always bring great insight and keep things interesting, but let’s be real… the episode doesn’t truly peak until JR jumps on at the end. Absolute must-listen every time.
