Cincinnati Soccer Talk

Hosted by Cincinnati Soccer Talk

A fan-run podcast covering FC Cincinnati and the city's broader soccer scene, from local youth clubs to the World Cup.

The brief

This is a hyper-local sports podcast that acts as a community hub for Cincinnati soccer fans. It's a mix of roundtable analysis of FC Cincinnati and World Cup games by a panel of recurring hosts, and on-the-ground reporting that highlights grassroots soccer initiatives within the city. The show often features distinct sub-series, like "Jersey Swap" for opponent previews and "Soccer in Our Area" for community stories.

Its blend of professional MLS team coverage with a genuine focus on hyper-local, community-level soccer sets it apart from typical single-team podcasts. The use of multiple, distinct show formats within the same feed, like roundtable recaps and opponent-preview interviews, is also a notable feature.

Hosted by a rotating cast of local fans, CST provides match recaps, analysis, and interviews with figures from across the Cincinnati soccer community.

What you'll be asked on this show

How Cincinnati Soccer Talk interviews

As a show with multiple hosts, the interview style is more collective and conversational than singular. When interviewing community leaders, the tone is friendly and supportive, using broad, open-ended questions to allow guests to tell their organization's story. In roundtable discussions, questions are used to direct traffic between the co-hosts and guests, often to get a first-hand report on an event or a specific opinion on a recent match.

The show alternates between roundtable discussions with a regular cast of co-hosts and interview-focused episodes. Roundtable shows use recurring segments like "What's Hot, What's Cold?" for structured analysis. Interviews are often conducted on-location at community events or feature guests like other podcasters for match previews.
