Episode 412:

This is a personal favorite episode for Producer and Host Mike Anderer. It is a favorite because it is an evergreen episode. Yes, there is conversation about the game of the week and some details that will put a virtual timestamp on the episode, but overall this is a broad stroke conversation about NYCFC and the club’s impact on two reporters that have been part of the media landscape since the very beginning.

This week Mike Anderer and J.R. DeBart invite Trey Fillmore from Blue Balls Podcast on as a guest. During the episode the three discuss the recently released stadium renderings, the most current MLS Players Salary data and of course the draw in Orlando, but the most important segment is the dive into the early stages of covering NYCFC. Blue City Radio and Blue Balls Podcast share the unique honor of being the earliest podcasts and dedicated media sources covering NYCFC.

Episode 409:

NYCFC fans were hopeful that the team would carry their home form momentum on the road for their first of five road games over the next month. Unfortunately a late injury to Gabriel Pereira and the insertion of Kevin O’Toole to the starting lineup would be enough change for NYCFC to disrupt the chemistry.

Despite abysmal play in the first half, the away side would be even at the half time, but the scoreline would change quickly.

This week Mike and Mike Allen give a deep dive into the 1-0 loss and share some of the postgame audio.

In the second segment the guys welcome MLS play-by-play announcer, Tyler Terens (@TNTerens) to give his thoughts on NYCFC and joining the Apple TV broadcast team.
