HRB Podcast is a weekly NYCFC-centered panel show with a clear matchday pulse. It starts from the club's immediate reality and works outward. A road loss in Vancouver becomes a conversation about where NYCFC sits in the Eastern Conference pecking order. A 5-2 Open Cup win over Westchester SC becomes a chance to talk rotation, rebound games, and what a lower-division test can reveal. A 1-1 draw with St. Louis City turns into a debate over danger, finishing, and whether the team is creating enough around the box. The show is casual, but it is not empty reaction. Mark Radigan usually sets the agenda, John Boehne brings preview-heavy and roster-aware analysis, and Andrew Lee adds production presence along with perspective from Hudson River Blue's coverage. The panel likes the texture around the soccer. Weather, away watching situations, Yankee Stadium energy, and old supporter memories all make their way into the room. Then the conversation snaps back to the match. Recent episodes return often to striker usage, Nico's role, Ojeda's verticality, Matt Freese's national-team stakes, James Sands injury news, and what Pascal can get from the squad. The show also pays attention to the business and media layer around the club, including Brad Sims' comments and the end of Hudson River Blue after 13 years of coverage. That gives the podcast a little more weight than a standard recap show. It is partly a weekly results conversation and partly a record of a supporter media scene changing around the team. The tone can be dry, frustrated, playful, or excited depending on the result. It never sounds detached. Predictions and prognostications close the loop, giving each episode a clear path from what just happened to what might happen next. The best fit is an NYCFC supporter who wants analysis that still sounds like people who watched the game with a stake in it.
Made for: For New York City FC supporters who want weekly match reaction, roster context, and opponent previews from voices close to the club's local media orbit. It also suits MLS followers who care about how one team manages form, injuries, transfers, and cup congestion.
What sets it apart: HRB Podcast blends supporter feeling with practical soccer detail, so a result is treated as both a mood swing and a tactical data point. Its connection to Hudson River Blue gives the show a lived-in local memory that most general MLS shows do not carry.
The HRB Podcast looks at soccer from a New York City perspective. We cover everything from NYCFC and MLS, to European giants and global fútbol, to lower-league clubs in the Tri-State Area. If you want angry boys shouting about managers and refs, this isn't for you: We're here to inform you, and to keep it fun.
