We are trying something new this week by moving the results/recap/preview segment of the show out to a Medium article and then converting that into an episode using text to speech. We were finding that reading the results without much to say on air wasn't working for us, so this method hopefully will allow us to continue reporting on all of the matches happening in our region without taking up space in the main episode for those that aren't interested.

We're looking for feedback on how this first attempt goes so drop us a line on Twitter or via email at trisocpod@gmail.com!

We're back after an impromptu week off to discuss all the acronyms. We're talking FFL, UPSL, EPSL, NISA, UWS, USL, WPSL, NCASA, USASA, NESL, and maybe a few we're making up along the way.

WARNING: there are a handful of expletives that are beeped out.

Alternative title: we go on tangents that weren't planned and recorded the longest episode so far!

The back half of the episode we dive into our power rankings for FFL and recap the first weeks of match.

No interview this week! We're discussing the news, which includes telling people to cyber bully the new NCASA president, and then we get into a major topic of discussion recently: regional leagues. We get in to what one could look like for the Carolinas and some positives and negatives from the EPSL model. A lot of what we use in this proposal is based on Bill Marth's new book "Building an Amateur Soccer Network" and we recommend anyone interested in the concept of nonprofit regional leagues pick it up!

It was quite the week. The game we expected to be a blowout was subdued, one we thought was going to be competitive was full of drama, and then there is the one that happen on Sunday that had big implications for the middle of the table. Enjoy the ep, watch some games, and support local soccer!
