The Mingos fell 2-0 to AV Alta in a pretty uninspired, frustrating performance. This week, Rob and Ethan talk through what went wrong and ask: where are those goals we were promised? Then assistant head coach Patrick Nyarko joins us to talk team cohesion, leadership, advice from MLS and lots more.

Tune in to 608 Soccer Show (formerly Talkin' Flock) for the authentic, ground-level perspective on Madison's soccer scene. This isn't a polished national broadcast; it's a local conversation fueled by passion and insider knowledge. Hosted by journalist Rob Chappell alongside dedicated Flock member Ethan Maurice, the podcast digs into the heart of Forward Madison FC, follows the energy of Rally Madison, and tracks the broader USL landscape. You'll hear analysis, interviews, and discussions that go beyond the scoreline, capturing the stories and personalities that define the area's growing soccer culture. As part of the Sconnie Sports Network and the 365 Media Podcast Network, this show is your essential audio companion for everything from match previews and deep dives into club strategy to the vibrant supporter culture that makes the community unique. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with two well-informed fans who are as invested in the off-field dynamics as they are in the on-field action. For anyone wanting to feel connected to the pulse of soccer in the 608, this is the podcast that delivers the real talk, straight from the stands and the press box.
