Our first uploaded episode to Anchor, how exciting! 

Never has a podcast episode been in such danger of obsolescence so quickly. But we still want to share it with you! Yes, the covid-19 pandemic is altering everything right now, but more importantly there are new good Red Stars back in preseason camp, and the NWSL is going to be on TV this year (eventually). These are good things, and we need good things right now. We're going to figure this out together, y'all.


Tune into the Southside Trap Podcast for a Chicago-centric view of the National Women's Soccer League, anchored by the city's own team, the Chicago Red Stars.

You’ll hear their genuine reactions, thoughtful debates, and the kind of insider chatter that comes from being deeply embedded in the fan community. It’s a regular check-in for anyone invested in the Red Stars' journey, providing clarity and camaraderie throughout the season.
