Customer Reviews
Keep on working on it!
Solomon is doing a good job. His passion for soccer is evident, and Stephen's contributions are great. Keep working on your enunciation though. At times it's hard to understand. Also it would be great if you analyzed tactics a little more. Great work!
Best podcast 10/0
You are the best podcast i never I love to hear you guys and I love soccer
So Refreshing
I’m a long time listener of Freakonomics, and avid soccer fan. This show is a great display of both Stephen Dubner’s ability to bring the best out of an interviewee and Solomon Dubner’s extensive knowledge and passion for the sport on all fronts.
