Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are joined by Queen City Press's Laurel Pfahler after she published her excellent column on media availability and access when covering MLS. Comparing her time with the Cincinnati Bengals and FC Cincinnati offers unique insight to how the league works, and what could be improved. We also talk about FC Cincinnati, the battle at goalkeeper(??), and Decision Day. Then in Part Two it's a fantastic listener question and a Montreal preview.

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief found plenty to talk about as we enter the final week of the season. Finally, everyone in the league has played the same number of games which makes it easier to game out seeding scenarios. Sadly, there's still a ton of wiggle room.

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are joined by one-time co-host of the PostCast Carter Chapley to talk about all things FC Cincinnati. A great conversation that covers the season so far and looking ahead to the playoff run that is upon us (just as soon as we're done scrounging up shady streaming sites to watch all the international matches Orange and Blue players are in).

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief were happy to see FC Cincinnati take home a win from New Jersey despite Philly taking care of business and winning the shield. Regardless, another 60+ point season, with the potential to end with 65 points, is an incredible achievement. Celebrating the man, the legend, Alvas Elvis Powell, praying Denkey, and looking ahead to the rest of 2025 with this roster.

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief take the time to sort out why this team seems to fail the eye test while also being successful. What might need to change if FC Cincinnati is going to be successful in the playoffs? And if you had to point a finger at why this team seems to stumble in big moments, are you pointing it at the coach or the general manager? Then in Part Two it's a look ahead to this weekends titanic struggle between The FC and the New York Red Bulls

It was a brutal night for the Orange and Blue faithful as FC Cincinnati looked like they were going to be keeping pace with the Supporter Shield leaders, right up until they didn't. The match featured highs and lows all over the pitch, with plenty of performances to break down. But more importantly in Part Two: where do we go from here? How to look at this team, what to expect in the playoffs, and trying to sort out FC Cincinnati's position in the league.

Kevin and Grayson are left behind as The Chief study abroad in Germany to learn proper footy culture. What makes a Euro Snob really and when you think about it, are you the listener actually at fault for all of the errors you hear in a podcast? FC Cincinnati's academy is once again recruiting the best and brightest from around the world, but when are you allowed to get excited about this? Then in Part Two it's a look ahead to the Sunday Night Soccer matchup between FC Cincinnati and Orlando City with Cincy's place in the Supporter Shield race on the line.

Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are happy to once again be talking about a win streak after FC Cincinnati when to Carson and picked up another 3 points. On a day when San Diego and Minnesota slipped up, it's a crucial step closer to a Supporter Shield. The offense looked good but is the lack of Denkey goals something to worry about? PLUS looking around the league to see where exactly the shield race stands, and what needs to happen for The FC to win it.
