Soccer Neophytes: Recent Episodes

Soccer Neophytes

Nate Hughes, Chris Smith, Kyle Smith (unrelated) and Tim Hoiland are Football Neophytes.

Relatively new to the game and Premier League specifically, Nate and Chris did their research and after watching the 2018/19 season chose to follow Wolves (Nate) and Manchester United (Chris).

In season three they welcomed Neophyte Kyle Smith as he looked to find a Premier League team of his own to support. In the end he chose Leeds United.

In season four they added Liverpool supporter Tim Hoiland. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/soccer-neophytes/support
