Podcast. We look at the beautiful game on and off the field the lens of red white and blue colored

glasses. As you heard we'll be talking about the changing voices of American

soccer broadcasting. We'll have our Mossy Mix the Case segment. We'll be

answering your questions in our Ask Alexi segment and so much more.
