Looks like setting the Soundcloud download link setting got missed after the off-season hiatus, can it be added back? Hate to miss them!
ditto on prior pod too, download link missing
IMO, a podcast featuring one of the most respected American soccer journalists should be about imparting news, opinions, a bit of “insider” speculation and some entertaining personal experience stories. Having Ives as the lead voice keeps the agenda more or less on point while allowing room for personal anecdotes and banter. The new pod delivers all of that.
I respect what Garrett was trying to do, but the pod sounded more like a college radio show with poor production values. I prefer the new more professional format. With Ives as the show’s fulcrum, it’s possible to balance the conversation with partners and guests and still keep the show entertaining. I really do like the new format.
Totally disagree, I thought the show was a lot more fun because Ives and Garrett were willing to rib each other. Paul and Ives seem to want to respect each others opinions too much agree pat each other on the back too much. Also tbh I thought the sound quality was better before. There is some sort of distracting rattling sound in all these shows that is really annoying. I feel like Garrett understood the technical aspects a bit better, I assumed he was always the one who did the work on that end
Awesome to have the show back!
I enjoyed the new format! It’s nice to have a co-host that you can go back and forth with!
Gotta be honest, I miss the banter between Ives and Garrett. They disagreed more which made the show interesting, or they at least went back and forth a bit more to hash things out, which is more fun to listen to. There was also some distracting noise like something rubbing against one of the mics in both these shows. But overall it’s nice to have the SBI Show back
Good show and good round-up of the EC. The guarded Fire optimism was a little surprising, but you explained it pretty well and they will at least be a little interesting to watch early on.
Ives sounded a lot clearer (in terms of sound quality) than the episodes from last year. If there’s no Garrett appearance by the 3rd episode this year, I’ll be sorely disappointed.
There was that minute or so of what can only be described as heavy breathing. 😉
The intro music has been on point to start the new iteration of The SBI Show.
