Description
Who better than to have 4 friends who met on the terraces of Toronto FC's south end to 'expertly' give their $0.02 on all things involving their club. What started as a joke between the writers of TFC blogs, it devolved into what you hear now. A f'ing podcast that's supposed to sound like the type of conversation heard amongst friends who give a damn - running gags, made-up mythologies, original catchphrases and nicknames for a side that neither has nor needs them.
After the first 25 episodes were lost in a bizarre analog audio warehouse fire, Duncan, Kristin, Tony and Mark decided to move their format to this new-fangled digital media. Sure it's 1's and 0's, just don't explain that to them.
From the people who brought you the DeRo song, that attempt at making Bohemian Rhapsody the club anthem, and a bunch of other smart-assery that can only be created standing together in a monsoon on a Wednesday evening football match, this is The Vocal Minority.
