My favorite NSC podcast

06/29/2025

Keytonglo

Always love the analysis and the good vibes. I listen to a lot of the big soccer podcasts (total soccer show and soccerwise) but I’m always jonesing for more NSC content. Club and country is awesome for filling that void for me. I like some of the other NSC podcasts but this is the highest quality one imo

Enjoy the content but can you guys please work on the sound mixing. I can barely hear one of you and the other is too loud, so I am constantly having to toggle the volume knob as the dialogue shifts back and forth.
Great NSC Podcast

I’ve been listening to Club and Country since last season and, honestly, this 5 star review is long overdue. Tim and Wes deliver relevant and important NSC news while doing so in an entertaining and friendly way. It really feels like I’m in a room with fellow NSC fans just chopping it up. This podcast is in my weekly rotation to help me with my long Nashville commute! I recommend it to all the NSC fans (and M.L. Rose fans) out there!

Club and Country is a must-listen for any Nashville SC fan. Tim and Wes strike the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, making the podcast accessible for both newcomers and longtime supporters. I started listening when I knew almost nothing about soccer, and I was immediately hooked. Years later, as a dedicated fan, I still look forward to every episode. Whether you’re trying to understand the basics or dive into tactics and team culture, this show keeps you engaged from start to finish.
