We also discuss fans having too much power, an odd suspension in Russia and the USWNT making the best of a broken down bus.
We're back for another exciting edition of America's least favorite soccer podcast. Since sometimes it's good to get by with a little help from our friends, we've invited Aaron West (The Special Ones Podcast, Soccer Without Limits) and Travis Madu (SB Nation Soccer) on the show to help us discuss all the important topics of the week. We try to figure out if some of the surprising names at the top of Europe's various leagues will stick around, talk about the worst soccer Twitterers, read headlines and answer listener questions.
After an international break, we're back to do what we do best. Talk about stuff. There's headlines to cover including masseur's making double saves and a Swiss team owner wanting to have strippers perform pre-match to help attendance.

There's also headlines, This Week in Football History and listener questions.
We're back and rejoined this week by the great Richard Oram who finally was available on a recording night and had plenty to say about the opening weekend in EPL. We discuss NBC's first weekend of coverage here in the USA, cover this article that tells the story of where all the stuff from the closed US Soccer Hall of Fame is being stored.

The last week around American soccer has been pretty crazy with the build-up to and eventual signing of Clint Dempsey by the Seattle Sounders. Everyone has been talking about it and of course, so will we. Our perspective though will focus on the perception of the league's handling of the signing and how MLS keeps punching itself in the face. We also discuss Steven Goff's since deleted Twitter meltdown.
There's Juan Agudelo's impending move to Stoke City to talk about as well plus Ginge issues a response to all the heat he's been getting from the San Jose Ultras. There's also headlines, This Week in Football History and listener questions.
We're back again for another voyage around the world of football. On this week's show we talk about the death of Christian "Chucho" Benitez and some of the media's attempt to hijack the story to use as anti-Qatar World Cup propaganda. We discuss Richard Scudamore's reaction to a possible winter World Cup, Human Rights Watch connecting Manchester City to UAE's issues and, reluctantly, the MLS All-Star Game. There's also headlines, this week in football history and listener questions and feedback.
Welcome to another exciting edition of Radio Cuju. This week Ginge and Alicia cover some somber headlines before laughing at people brawling at Disney World. We explain just how much the Champions League is worth to teams involved and get Alicia and listener reaction to our interview last week with Ted Westervelt. We're also joined by Juan Arango to learn about new Barcelona head coach Gerardo Martino.
Our second show of the week features Ginge talking with Ted Westervelt, aka @soccerreform, easily one of the most infamous and notorious members of the American soccer social media community. We discuss why Ted began his crusade against the single-entity system utilized by MLS and why he feels promotion and relegation are a necessary edition to American club soccer. We also talk about his public perception and what his ultimate goals are for his efforts.
Some may not approve of giving Ted a platform but everyone deserves a chance to make their case and either Ted will be able to convince you he's on to something or he won't.
Radio Cuju is back as Ginge and Alicia are joined by Richard Farley to discuss Edinson Cavani's absurd transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, angry Wayne Rooney and whether or not Clint Dempsey should leave Spurs.

There's also more talk about MLS and their YSA witch hunt and NYCFC remaining homeless. We have This Week in Football History and answer lots of listeners questions.
Ginge got to thinking — a dangerous thing we know — about the state of soccer podcasting and decided to offer up some thoughts. What started as a short segment for this week’s regular edition of the show became it’s own special edition as Ginge discusses the need for creative content and the importance of listeners pushing creators to be something better than the generic normal sports talk-esque content that we hear. Call it a manifesto about what Radio Cuju is striving to be and what we should all expect from the shows we listen to on a regular basis.
This week on Radio Cuju, Ginge and Alicia cover some exciting headlines including supporters throwing chairs at their club's owner plus a Gigi update. We discuss the Confederations Cup Final and if there was a changing of the guard with Brazil's victory over Spain. We also try to figure out why MLS and one club are spending "Supporter's Week" attacking supporters.
On this edition of Radio Cuju we’re joined by the one and only Richard Farley for a wide ranging discussion of everything from the protest in Brazil to condoms. We spend some talking talking about the aforementioned protest, Orlando’s desire to join MLS and the evolving landscape of the transfer market and the potential long term effects on the sport. There’s plenty of headlines and listener questions as well.
