I have been trying out some NYCFC podcasts. Maybe I am just spoiled by the level of discussion that some of the posters here bring, but I have been kind of underwhelmed. You guys have a preference for anything?
Which NYCFC Podcast?

I admit that I used to listen to a few of them but got frustrated that their game reviews came out usually 4+ days after the games. For a while I thought about putting something together myself just to have a next day offering. Ultimately, I just stopped listening.
But when I was listening, I liked the banter/style of Blue Balls. I think they all depend on your personality how much you'll like each of them. As far as pure analysis, you'll rarely find anything that beats these boards.

I like soccer in the city the best.
I don't like the analysis of Dudes in Blue, but it's occasionally entertaining.
There's one that
thesauerchise does that is pretty good. That might be my 2nd choice.

Soccer in the city is the best for me because you get both really good analysis and people who have access to the team. It needs some editing, some of their clowning and antics are a waste of time, but you won't get better information.
Ok I listened to Soccer in the City last night. Probably should have started with this one. I always listen to Glenn Crooks pregame and he does have a nice soccer resume.
I love banter but there has to be a balance of banter and knowing what you are talking about. My favorite sports podcast is the Basketball Jones which is now The Starters on NBA TV. I think they have a great balance.

I actually haven't listened to any podcasts other than Soccer in the City and love it. The guys really know their stuff and aren't afraid to give out praise as well as critique the team. I think they're quite fair and really understand the game.
Roberto and Glenn have some good banter back and forth as well, but it doesn't dominate the show.

I think Glenn is my least favorite guy in there. I really like Abramowitz.
I had to unsubscribe from Dudes in Blue because of their love for Hernandez and someone else - Saunders I think.
Thanks, just nice to be in the discussion.I like soccer in the city the best.

I'm partial toward the lightheartedness of The Cooligans.
The re-vamped SPHERICAL podcast is refreshing too.
and I find 1 hour is the magical podcast sweetspot . . . some shows go for almost 2 hours (sometimes more) and they start to lose me.

Nice guy that I want to know more about. He dropped into one of our watch parties to talk with us and was GENUINE. I'll start checking this out.
Blue City Radio and Soccer in the City are my favorites. EOS Radio is pretty good when they get around to doing an NYCFC episode.
Blue City Radio is my fav but I will also start to check out the others. Good to get differing takes/opinions.
I've been listening to Blue City Radio since it began, but recently my favorite is Soccer In The City. I'd also dropped off with the NYCFC Fan Podcast but listened to the most recent episode with the NYCFCfan and am looking forward to seeing that develop into the NYCC Nation podcast.
Are there any podcasts that cover the league generally that folks would recommend? I've not really explored

Extra time is the best I've found. You'll also get some coverage in Caught Offside and Total Soccer Show. The last two are more PL focused, but really good listens. TSS has come on strong in the last couple of years. I was a TSS hipster - started with them when it was like 4 people. Their latest format is great and they have consistent content.
You should also subscribe to any Howler pods, Dummy being the main one. And Lalas is really good on his pod, actually. The Mutant Gene is the name. Really good interviews. Go back and find the one with Sampson. He goes into the Wynalda-Harkes thing and that whole WC debacle.

This is a really good summary of the landscape. One other one that I listen to is Talking Touches. They do a Sporting KC show each week, and then also do a general MLS show. Some good stuff though, as a warning, they do hate on NYCFC a bunch, so if that makes you angry, skip it. I usually just skip those segments since I don't need them to tell me about our team. I also listen to a mix of local podcasts from various teams, particularly in advance of our matches. Ultimately no national platform can cover a team nearly as in depth as the local versions of all of us can.
I started listening to you guys. Very good. Don't be afraid to cut 2hr episodes into multiple episodes.

Gotham Gator gets a call out. They were very amused by your tweet applauding their previous show where you said they really benefited from having an agenda and thoughts sketched out ahead of time -- as opposed to their usual SOP.

He is on one of the pods like every week. Also making an appearance via recitation of tweet were other people whom I won't tag giving opinions I don't really share.Starting around 27:50 of this weeks Soccer In the City our own
Gator's was amusing because he has easily a half dozen posts here saying he likes that podcast but they tend to lack focus or organization and here he credits them for finally doing the opposite, and their response proves his point about their usual tendency.
