Talkin' Flock: A #FullMingo Podcast: Recent Episodes
10,000 Pitches
Forward Madison has become THE flag-bearing professional soccer club in Wisconsin. Talkin' Flock provides insightful and entertaining look at the 'Mingos and what they're doing both on and off the field.
Rob is flying solo today, Dan Carlin style, with some news out of Lexington and some more news out of Knoxville. Then, some thoughts on the win that was, the goal that wasn't, and where we sit in the league and the Cup. Speaking of the Cup, we finally have clarity on how the semifinal matchups and locations will be determined. Plus, the final match weekend presents a simply wild possibility. Mark your calendar for the Greenville vs Charlotte match on August 30 & listen to this podcast to find out why that game might be entirely bonkers.

Matt Glaeser, Christian Chaney and Devin Boyce join us in the Forward Club for another happy postgame chat following Forward Madison's 2-1 win over Central Valley Fuego.
Forward Madison is back on top of the Central Group in the Jagermeister Cup thanks to a clean sheet from Bernd Schipmann and a game-winning goal from Wolfgang Prentice. We talked to both of them after the match, along with head coach Matt Glaeser.
Saturday's match got postponed, but we're still on! USL headquarters held a midseason media call, and we have a few updates on the new TV deals, expansion, future editions of the Jagermeister Cup and USL in Milwaukee. Then, we sit down with Coach of the Year -- er, Month -- Matt Glaeser for a midseason check-in. NOTE: After I recorded the bit about the USL press call, I heard from the FMFC front office that Milwaukee is still on track for 2026, and there actually is no issue with the state funding.

ALSO do us a favor and leave us a rating and review, and tell some Mingo nerd friends! I go to all the games, so I KNOW there are more people in the Flock End alone than listen to this podcast every week. Let's welcome them all into the family of podcast-listening weirds!
Alex is away with coaching duties this week, so Rob welcomes Henny Derby cofounder and Walking 90 cohost Kyle Carr to talk through a tough week for the Mingos: a 2-0 loss to Knoxville in the Jagermeister Cup and a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Richmond Kickers. Then, Forward Madison assistant coach & youth program director Aaron Hohlbein joins to talk about Forward Futures as well as his soccer journey from Middleton to Kansas City to Florida and back.

The news that USL League One's second all-time leading scorer has joined Forward Madison broke just before we hit the record button, so Rob and Alex give their first reactions to that massive news. Then, we talk through last week's two matches, and we chat with Tim Howerton of Ranting Blue Penguin Media as the leage reaches the halfway point of the season.

The Mingos got their SIXTH straight win over the weekend on a goal for the ages from Juan Galindrez.

The Mingos have matched their longest winning streak ever with four straight victories. They haven't conceded a goal in over 200 minutes. What's a podcaster to do with nothing to complain about? Still, we find a way. Alex is out coaching this week, so Rob opens the virtual mailbag. He also talks to here-there-and-everywhere midfielder Devin Boyce.

Then the Mingos captain, Mitch Osmond, joins to talk about the offseason, a disjointed preseason, the team gelling as a group and lots more. Finally, in stoppage time, some announcements about what XTT Talent has in store for the summer and a recommendation for anybody who loves some great hiking.

Pro/rel is still maybe coming, the USL League One cup is likely to expand, and the CBS TV agreement is a bigger deal than I initially thought.
Those are my key takeaways from a press conference USL hosted with USL Championship President Jeremy Alumbaugh and USL League One President Lee O'Neill earlier today.
They didn’t break a lot of news over the course of the hour, but we didn’t really expect them to. This was a chance for about two dozen reporters and weirdos to ask a few questions just before league play kicks off this weekend. (And to the league’s credit, they didn’t do the “one question each, so make it good” thing.)
Today host Rob Chappell talks through some of the key takeaways from the presser.
