Vancouver Whitecaps FC Release First Official Podcast

Every fan wants to be as connected as possible to his team. The Whitecaps are already fantastic at remaining connected with us fans, thanks to their official website, Twitter, and Facebook. Now, they've decided to step their game up with an official podcast which you can listen to here. It's not available on iTunes right now, but I certainly hope they'll make it available there soon.

The podcast is about 17 minutes long, and it features club correspondent Simon Fudge along with club ambassador Carl Valentine. The two talk about the Whitecaps and their preseason, expectations around the 'Caps, and much more regarding the team and its players. It's an interesting listen, and I'll certainly be tuning in for future episodes.

While it's a nice podcast, there's room for improvement. An intro and outro tune would be nice, along with maybe another person who offers a bit more entusiasm and excitement. An idea for the future would be to have players and coaches on the podcast every once in a while to offer some insight. I love the fact that the Whitecaps has an official podcast, and I'm only criticizing it because I want it to improve.

Remember to listen to the podcast here, on the Whitecaps's official website. What do you think about the first podcast? Share your comments below!

It's not a podcast since it's impossible to subscribe to at the moment. When and how do we subscribe to it and when will it become a podcast?

I don't think there will be a way to subscribe unless they put it on iTunes or an RSS feed. Hopefully a second episode will come out soon, and hopefully we'll be able to subscribe soon.

Thanks for the comment!
