Chromaniacs: a San Diego FC Podcast

Craig, Tony and Alex are back to explore one simple question: how the heck did SDFC put that result up on the board last Saturday at Austin? The Chrome and Azul played a horrible first half, turned on a dime to build a 3-0 lead, then gave up three goals in just over ten minutes to put the most disappointing draw in SDFC history up on the board, 3-3. Even worse: what if a team loses and there is no one in the media there to cover it? The show ends with a discussion of how the conglomeration of traditional media leads to a need for independent coverage if fans want real discussion of SDFC. (Apologies from the crew for intermittent audio issues in this one)
