Calling All Casuals

Welcome to Calling All Casuals -- the show for the casual soccer fan! If you're just dipping your toe into soccer fandom, this might just be the show for you! Every week hosts Amy and Alexei explore soccer through the lens of pop culture, learning about the quirks, history, and drama along the way. This show has a heavy focus on soccer in America, but every so often it gets into the game on a global level. We're trying to make soccer approachable for anyone, so we hope you join us on our journey! Questions? Email us: [email protected]
