0030 - A Priest & a Cop Walk Into a Soccer Game
This week your beloved Amateurs went to Lionsbridge, and went really extra with three separate interviews! We figured rather than cram them all into one pod, we'd just release one episode a day starting today through Wednesday. Today's episode is simply a recap of how the atmosphere was at Lionsbridge, along with a very quick update on how things are going in the league.

0029 - Mid-Season Review!
This week the Amateurs do their best at trying to sort out what's going on in the three divisions they follow, as most teams have played half of their games this year. Some are a bit straight forward: NPSL's Southeast division & USL League 2's Deep South. Others are way more complicated & basically anyone could still win it or finish in last place: USL League 2's South Atlantic is crazy y'all. This should be the last hostful pod until they wrap up the season later this summer.
