The Soccer Down Here podcast is a must-listen for any soccer fan, especially those located in the Southern US. Hosted by Jason Longshore and Jarrett Smith, this podcast offers daily episodes that cover a wide range of soccer topics, with a particular focus on Atlanta United, MLS, and the broader world of soccer.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the depth of knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the hosts. Jason Longshore, in particular, is incredibly knowledgeable and serves as a walking encyclopedia of soccer information. His dedication to keeping listeners informed about the game locally, nationally, and internationally is commendable. The hosts also provide a fun and friendly environment that welcomes participation from listeners, making it an interactive experience.
Another strong point of this podcast is its authentic atmosphere. The hosts and guests create an atmosphere where fans can learn about soccer in a no-judgment environment. They offer insightful analysis and balanced coverage that goes beyond hot takes or sensationalism. This makes it an ideal podcast for both casual fans looking to learn more about the beautiful game and avid supporters seeking in-depth discussions.
However, one drawback of the podcast is its lack of time stamps in the show notes. Some listeners may prefer to skip certain segments or only listen to specific topics that interest them. Including time stamps would make navigating through episodes easier for those who are primarily interested in Atlanta United news or MLS news/previews.
In conclusion, The Soccer Down Here podcast is an excellent resource for staying up-to-date with the latest happenings in Atlanta United, MLS, and the world of soccer at large. With knowledgeable hosts who offer insightful analysis and create an inclusive environment for fans to participate, this podcast is a valuable asset for any soccer enthusiast.
