  • Almost Unlistenable

    Please be more concise and edit these down to 30-45 minutes. You provide some great information and insight but it takes you way too long to get to the point.

  • Episodes are too long

    I’ll start by saying I am so happy there is a venue to learn more about my new beloved team RIFC! That said, it can be really difficult to find 90minutes a week to listen to a podcast. The Pod also drags at times…edit it down to 45-60 minutes and it’ll be perfect. Sorry to say guys but not every word out of your mouths is Podcast gold. Most recent episode you acknowledged that you’ve gotten this feedback multiple times…you might want to listen to your fans and adjust.

  • Great Podcast… Listen to it

    Entertaining and informative podcast for anyone following the USL Championship team Rhode Island FC. Great for total newbs and expect it would be great if you’re a supporter from one of those “other” teams and want to know what’s happening in Rhode Island.
