Episode 365: Is RSL just going to park the bus?
03/03/2023 Duración: 31minThe Seattle Sounders and Real Salt Lake have a lot of shared history. Right now, RSL seems to be getting the better of things, having won the last four meetings (including the penalty shootout in 2021). Once again, we caught up with friend of the show Matt Montgomery who has recently started a new project called Wasatch Soccer Sentinel (effectively what used to be RSL Soapbox), who gives us the inside scoop.

Episode 364: That is how you start a season right!
02/03/2023 Duración: 57minThe Sounders got off to a pretty awesome start to their 2023 MLS regular season. The 4-0 win over the Colorado Rapids was every bit as convincing as the score suggested and we had a ton of impressive performances, highlighted for me by Jordan Morris brace and general involvement in just about every dangerous chance the sounders had. It's obviously just one game and the Rapids might be bad -- and were at least missing a couple starters -- but this was a very positive performance either way. Suffice it to say, we were pretty excited to talk abou this one. Of course, we also made time to take your questions.

Episode 363: New rules, but mostly the same Sounders
24/02/2023 Duración: 59minAfter an odd preseason that featured the FIFA Club World basically in the middle of it, the Seattle Sounders are finally just days away from their MLS regular season opener. To help preview the season, Aaron and Jeremiah welcomed Sounder at Heart colleagues Susie Rantz and Mark Kastner to the show to help us. We discussed our outlook for the season and explained some of the tactical tweaks the Sounders are implementing that they hope can help get them back to their rightful place atop MLS. In the second segment, we discussed some of the developments in the Apple deal and the rule changes that were implemented just a few days before the start of the season.

Episode 362: An early look at preseason opponent Louisville City
14/02/2023 Duración: 51minThe Seattle Sounders will be playing Louisville City in their final preseason game on Saturday. To help give us a sense of what kind of opponent the Sounders are facing, we reached out to Vince Irvin. Vince is better known as a contributor to the Scuffed Podcast where he opines on the United States national team, but he's also a Louisville season-ticket holder.

Episode 361: Let's hope Sounders shook off rust at Club World Cup
09/02/2023 Duración: 01h13minThe Club World Cup came at a particularly inopportune time for the Seattle Sounders. Despite being about midway through their preseason, however, the Sounders acquitted themselves well and actually looked like the better team for much of their loss to Al Ahly. We discussed this game, expressed some frustration with Brian Schmetzer's substitution patterns and looked ahead to the regular season while also taking a wide range of questions from listeners.

Episode 360: Has Providence sponsorship changed the Sounders' core values?
31/01/2023 Duración: 59minDon't worry, we understand that almost no one really wants to be talking about things like sponsorships right now. But the Seattle Sounders' decision to join forces with Providence on a wide-ranging "partnership" that also happens to include the Catholic healthcare provider's name being prominently displayed on their jerseys has made completely moving on rather difficult. Fans remain upset and the Sounders are still seeking to calm those tensions. In the last week, the Sounders have met with ECS, the Alliance Council and other supporters' groups to at least begin the process of coming to an understanding. Similarly, they asked to talk to us and, more importantly, our audience. Jeremiah met with Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer Taylor Graham as well as COO Maya Mendoza-Exstrom at Longacres on Monday to sort of replicate some of those conversations. This much was clear: the individuals who run the Sounders remain as committed as ever to championing these causes. In fact, they gave the impression that t

Episode 359: Sam Rogers interview
28/01/2023 Duración: 33minWe caught up with Sam Rogers while he was with the United States national team in Los Angeles. It's been quite a couple years for Rogers, who turned disappointment over not making the Sounders first team into a journey that now has him poised to win his first senior national team cap. We talked about that journey and how he's enjoying life in Norway. Note: This is the first of what will become a regular series of interviews. This is available to all subscribers, but we'll likely start releasing extended cuts for paid subscribers through Substack in the next few months.

Episode 358: Goodbye Garth and hello Craig
01/12/2022 Duración: 01h13minGarth Lagerwey is out as the Sounders GM and was very quickly replaced by Craig Waibel, who joined the team about 18 months ago. We feel like this is a solid move, but understand that a lot of fans would like to see some proof.

Episode 357: Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris are going to the World Cup!
10/11/2022 Duración: 01h20minThey clearly aren't the two most popular picks for the United States' World Cup roster, but we are thrilled for Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris making the trip to Qatar. If you're inclined to defend those picks to anyone, we give you plenty of ammunition.

Bear With Us, Episode 8: We're back - Just in time to hibernate!
13/10/2022 Duración: 43minWill Bruin returns from a long time away from us to record what could be his final podcast with us. Will broke the news that his option was declined, but shared some thoughts on the highs and lows of 2022 and how a season with so much promise ultimately went off the rails. It's definitely worth a listen. Thanks to Fast Fashion brewery for hosting our recording session! Musics: "Bumped into Bigfoot" - Bedford; "Cutthroat" - prod. by Syndrome

Episode 356: Is this it?
30/09/2022 Duración: 51minThe Seattle Sounders aren't quite dead, yet, but they are very much on life support after dropping two points at home against FC Cincinnati. We discuss how big of a deal it is that this 13-year of playoff qualification might now end.

Episode 355: Garth Lagerwey looks back on eight years with Sounders ... and maybe more
15/09/2022 Duración: 56minFew would argue that Garth Lagerwey's eight-season tenure as Seattle Sounders GM has been anything short of highly successful. The trophies and finals and playoff appearances are all material accomplishments. But with him up for re-election and possibly other suitors lining up, now is as good of a time as any to reflect. He spent nearly an hour talking with us about the past eight years and why he's bullish on the future.

Episode 354: Pulling us back in
08/09/2022 Duración: 51minIt's probably not healthy, but Jeremiah and Aaron are full back on the Sounders' bandwagon for at least another week. And even if this ends in tears, at least we had a wonderful moment against Houston.

Episode 353: We can do this
24/08/2022 Duración: 55minSure, it was only a half of inspired soccer AND it didn't even get us a win, but it was enough for Aaron and Jeremiah to be bullish on the rest of the regular season.

Episode 352: Mediocrity is hard to talk about
10/08/2022 Duración: 47minThe Seattle Sounders are stuck in a bit of a rut right now, not necessarily playing badly but definitely not playing well. They're losing a lot of one-goal games these days and that's making it a little harder to have a strong opinion. We talked it through.

Episode 351: We'd like to start winning again, thanks
20/07/2022 Duración: 59minSince last we met -- all of two weeks ago -- the Sounders' season has taken a rather frustrating turn. They are now winless and scoreless in three straight and suddenly the playoffs don't seem quite as assured as they once were. We're pretty sure the difference mostly comes down to health but that is not itself a complete answer. We give our thoughts.

Episode 350: Prelude to a bonfire
07/07/2022 Duración: 01h38minIn which Jeremiah plays out an analogy that compares the Timbers winning MLS Cup first driving a "For All Mankind"-esque space race for North American soccer dominance. Richard Farley joined us, too.

Episode 349: Yeah, we're thinking we're back
16/06/2022 Duración: 01h05minThe start to the MLS portion of the season did not quite go how anyone had really hoped but after winning 4 of 5, it now looks like the Sounders' season is back on track.

Episode 348: Gotta get going at some point
25/05/2022 Duración: 01h03minOverall, the Sounders had a pretty good week. But they ended it with a loss in a perfectly winnable road game. That's not a disaster but it does continue a trend of not playing well for sustained periods.
