Keith Poniewaz and Dan Fallon (hosts)
Forwards Backwards launches #hotflocksummer, recounts the Henny Derby, and forgets about the CLT (just like a man, am I right!?!)

Episode 78 Enconium by Keith Poniewaz and Dan Fallon (hosts)
There are beer related complaints, we stare into the great existential void, and discuss Madison v Chatta on Halloween eve. The usual.

Episode 67: Hexagonal by Keith Poniewaz and Dan Fallon (hosts)
Paisley keeps us on a tight... leash... this episode. Keith and Kyle recap an overheated yet turgid match from last Saturday and provide some insight to the upcoming Juneteenth celebration versus Revs II.
VAR. Humidity. Union Omaha. The only bright spot? An official pod blessing of TallMingo and Sara's Wedding.
Lots of actual football talk with a brief discussion of cannibalism thrown in.
We talk Flock Fashion with Mike Quieto. Reminder we are not responsible for the content of our own podcast.
The Sacred and Profane: We discuss the church of Breese Stevens and Dan Fallon's vomit. The only League One podcast to give you a Rashomon-esque recap of the Derek Gebhard goal. And to make a Rashomon reference.
We discuss manure, ties in Tuscon and don't discuss USL League One reffing.
We spend 9.5 minutes talking Forward and 50 minutes talking about how capitalism is a grim unending hellscape that amuses us to death until we explode from our own amusement. Somehow we forget to mention Schopenhauer or Kafka.
The USL League One preview against which all other previews will be judged.
Neil Hlavaty and Dan Fallon are back with Kyle and Keith. They talk the roster as it stands and a bunch of other junk. Finally, they celebrate the career of J.C. Banks: "he's one of our own."
Keith and Kyle (Dan is on parental leave) are joined by Andrew Schmidt, Zach Zwadzich, Liam Geoghan Smith, Grant Pieters and Chris Fox (Colin Shekem in abstentia)to discuss how they're raising money for kids with cancer, how the Med Marauders got started, and an MF Doom-Featherstone Flamingos roll out. At various points, the guests poke the hosts on some of their favorite subjects like Grant Wahl, The Weeknd and Tom "The Goat" Brady.
this one defies description... Producer Paisley's got a hangover...
The Concacaf Opera, Inbounds and Outbounds for Forward Madison, and our new segment that rejects listener input...
We talk about a lot of stuff-- indeed, this might be the only podcast that covers OJ and Clean Language Psychology-- with the new manager at Forward Madison Carl Craig. Dan, Keith and Kyle are mostly along for the ride.
Keith, Kyle and Dan are joined by Rob Chappel to review covering Forward in 2020 and to speculate a bit on 2021. Also, how ironic is having an in-person gathering to discuss banning in-person gatherings...
It's unclear what we talk about this week with Peter Wilt, but we shout out Francesca Hong and the Progressive Tradition, so that's cool Dan is out of the 401k.
Coaching search... drinking... voting... the usual...
Goodbye to all that: valedictions are given to Coach Daryl Shore.
We discuss Caden Clark and his parents and his relationship to Forward Madison and the old relationship between Minnesota United and how Keith and Dan are older than Caden's parents and young soccer players and the NBA and Chris Brady and Michael Vang. We don't discuss any of the matches; we do discuss Vanilla Ice Cream.
Specially uploaded for Chairman Schmidt, we talk a bunch of stuff about the match up between Omaha and Forward Madison last week. A perfectly adequate podcast that is probably #betterwithoutaudio. Also, Dan reveals that two men saw him naked before the pod had even begun
After welcoming Dan back from his Fallonspringa: we laud Landon and take umbrage with the USL; we invent the KPSOT and bring back the Heckin Scale; finally, we talk Tuscon too.
Fuck Chattanooga and Fuck Robin Vos and the other bitch ass Republicans. The pod talks democracy in the park...
Omar Anguiano stops by to talk kits-- specifically the one La Barra 608 put together with Icarus kits-- and Keith does some dumb voices. Eventually, Kyle and Keith and Omar talk the loss to Greenville.
Working on the weekend, Kyle and Keith recap Forward versus NEII. We keep it short, but discuss the Vang Train, Ovalle golazo (and who is his doppleganger) and a bunch of other useless things.
Francesca Hong, Democratic Candidate for the 76th District of Wisconsin joins us... We talk Kenosha, we talk the useless racist Republican party, and we talk Michael Vang and why he matters.
Co-host Kyle Carr speaks about Justice for Jacob Blake. Otherwise, what does the Forward's Backwards Podcast sound like when technical difficulties prevent them from watching the match? Not all that different.
We hope you got your hot takes elsewhere, because Forward's Backwards podcast is serving up leftovers from the Union Omaha match... From Papillon to Wauwatosa... With a side stop in Athens, Georgia... There's also some Kennedy and Carson Daly talk for the heads.
USL League 1's number one Canadian Premier League podcast is back to talk Vang-ferroequinology, whether Connor and Josiah need to be named like a wrestling duo or a law firm and head butting...
Keith, Dan and Kyle try to go as long as they can without discussing the Henny Derby.
Keith and Kyle discuss the home away from home opener and that Henny Derby feeling with special guest Elliott Barr from the River City 93 podcast. Dele Ali's fashion choices and just how much soccer does Kyle watch are also covered.
This week Keith Poniewaz and special co-host Kyle Carr discuss Forward v. North Texas with Neil Hlavaty. They also preview Greenville and offer their meteorological predictions for the "home" opener... No snow is the guess (hope?)
The flamingo cannot hear the flamingoer .. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming of Forward Madison is discussed with passionate intensity by Dan and Keith along with a cynical prediction of how long the season will last along with Chinese Checkers and lineup graphics. Keith provides a bonus economics lesson...
USL's return and the pod's hiatus with Peter Wilt.
This week's podcast welcomes USL's VP of Communications Ryan Madden to talk about the return of USL and how that's going. Kyle Carr theoretically returns to talk TELETHON, but, actually, we spend about 40 minutes rambling about our love of Liverpool and our crushes on GIni, Hendo, Big Virg, Sadio and the rest of the lads.
This week, Dan and Keith are joined by Jeffrey Anderson, Grant Pieters, Kyle Carr, and Kelly Ferguson to discuss the Flock's upcoming Telethon and argue about generational differences. Names are mispronounced, music is mentioned, and a good time is had by all.
Keith, Dan and Peter discuss the economics of lower division soccer in a pandemic, how to purchase a team and make it US Soccer compliant and whether a 35 minute Tweezer is the best walk out music-- especially with a lead.
