Studio Walls--March 13, 2024

 







A weekly update/preview of my latest podcasts, and a look back at some of my previous audio work from this week in history over the past 40+ years.

The current episode of Free Kicks examines the German club Bayern Munich. It's called "German Soccer Upheaval" The current episode of Minutia Men includes a tribute to Dave's favorite film of all-time, Fargo.


 *Free Kicks

=Three reminders from the calendar this week about why you should check out my soccer podcast, Free Kicks with Adam & Rick. My favorite Premier League club was founded this week (Liverpool football Club, 1892), and so was my co-host Adam Howarth's (Chelsea Football Club, 1905). In addition. this week is the anniversary of the first English FA Cup title ever, March 16, 1872,  Wanderers FC vs. Royal Engineers AFC, 1-0.
