Just found this pod and it is my new favorite soccer podcast. Great analysis and two guys that are “positive first”, which is so far gone in todays media. Everyone should check this out if they love the beautiful game.
A welcoming place for a novice fan

A Dash of Dyche Curries and corners Ryan and Musa are such an enjoyable, generous, funny, and insightful duo. They keep the conversation elevated yet accessible for me as a novice fan diving into games on various platforms. I have like 10 podcasts I listen to weekly, and Stadio quickly jumped to the top of the table, relegating something else from my regular listening. And Musa’s laugh is a delicious cup of coffee in front of a fireplace on the cold mornings in these contentious tiimes.
