Intelligent, insightful and inclusive

What a wonderful podcast! Musa and Ryan are so well grounded in their understanding of the game and approach each match with preparation and thoughtful commentary. They never resort to cheap shots but are not afraid to tell it like it is either. And it’s refreshing that - after a lifetime of having to draw breaths - I can listen to a podcast about football knowing I am included as a fan of both the female and male game and a woman.
A great way to keep in touch with the world of football

Musa and Ryan are a pair of great humans talking about the game they love with huge intelligence and respect. I Highly recommend this podcast to the football loving fan of any team. Musa and Ryan thank you, you are much appreciated.
Stadio is five stars (or three straight champions leagues)

Listening to Stadio I had an epiphany: All other football pods are catfishing. Ry’s Grogu energy is perfectly balanced by Musa’s well-hydrated insights. The pair raise the bar for the football pod genre, merging high concepts and pop culture with a staggering wealth of football knowledge. Above all, Stadio showcases two empathetic, intelligent and articulate football fans. Their podcast is a biweekly love letter for the beautiful game, the athletes that play it and the people who adore it. Put simply, it’s the audio equivalent of three straight champions leagues.
Pretentious Wokeism At Its Finest

I turned onto Stadio after Tifo put a living filing cabinet as its main presenter. Initially, I just thought it was just two upper middle class woke glory supporters, virtue signalling their way into the ever-growing market of football podcasting. I was not wrong. Their pretentiousness seeps through in every second of the pod, even in how their objectively unfunny jokes are always laughed at by one-another, and their ‘hot takes’ just turn out to be hipster political views that we should all hold hands and be one through the power of football. Whilst I admire the struggles that they’ve clearly had to endure, growing up in upper middle class environments self-electing to support title winning teams in their traumatic days of private school, I would recommend listening to any other podcast should you wish to hear anything mildly interesting about football tactics, talent, and non-woke-hipster takes on what is happening in football.
