Please tell when you first started listening and where you listen to the show.
I've been listening for about a year now via itunes. I do most of my listening while doing yard work or while playing FIFA09 on PS3.

I have been lstening at work for about two years. If I am too busy, I play it later on iTunes (or if it was a really good show, I often play it a second time on iTUnes!)

Glad to hear about this forum. 1st heard of it on WSD. Steven has never been kind to Big Soccer in the past. Looks like he is having a slight change of heart.
I've been a fan of the TV show since the Nick and Steven days. I would listen on the stream from time to time in those days. I've had Sirus for several years, but rarily catch the show on Sirus due to timing. I'm a pod caster and have been so for the past couple of years. WSD is my goto listen every day.
A day without WSD is like a day without sunshine...

I have been Listening to the WSD show since 2004 I beleive. Actually I heard about the radio show when I first Got FSW(now fox soccer channel) on Cable. i was watching fox football friday(now Fox football fone-in).. As a traditional american sportsfan, I didnt always agree about how they viewed on uS soccer but always admire theier passion for the game and raising awareness in the US. and to some extent a respect for American sports culture. thanks to Stephen, Nick and others who came and went.

This is my first year of soccer, EPL and WSD. I found it through iTunes and I have to say I love it. I don't know what I'll do for 2 weeks when Steven's off getting hitched.

Well, I used to listen at work a few years ago and got sick of listening to the same opinions from these guys. I just subscribed to the podcast a couple of weeks ago and listen while I work out.

I started listening to WSD about two years ago. I listen to the podcast every day at work and it is the only way that I make it through the day. I loathe the days when my server won't download the most recent cast.

I started listening regularly a few weeks before Howard and Steven erupted into a full blown meltdown.
I download the pod through Itunes and listen the next day while I'm at work. (Along with far too many other pods)
I must admit I was nervous at first when Kenny went full time but since he has proven to be total class and has really been a key member of the WSD team. I've come to know Kenny a bit the last year or two and will always listen as long as he is on the show. (He's the only guy I know who will e-mail me pictures of Phil Neville just to irritate me.)
The show really is a great way to introduce newer fans to the game while still being solid for those of us who are more aware of what is currently happening in the world game than even Kenny or Steven are.
WSD is a tiny island of sanity in this country. Or is it a tiny island of insanity in an even more insane country?

I started following Steve and Nick on Fox Football Friday many years ago. I thought that there would be nothing to dicuss for two hours every day on the radio, so I did not tune in for many years.
About 2-3 years ago, I started streaming the cast (with Howard) while working around the house over my stereo.
Howard was funny as heck with his patronizing attitude, but alas, it started to lose its flair as Howard showed himself to be quite not as all knowing as he presents himsef; but one funny guy with his biting commentary.
Started listening in earnest with the onset of the Kenny era. He came across as really earnest, but I think he is slowly finding his own bite, which will make the show better when the two disagree without being disagreeable.
With the guests they get each week, each day now, I feel just spoiled indulging myself to this daily show. Hear it on Sirius, podcast, but want to be able to stream on my iPhone at the gym over lunch.

I started listening to Nick and Steven during the last World Cup. I found them by accident on iTunes while searching for something else. I've tuned in every day since. European football with an American twist is just perfect for me.

Several ways. You can subscribe via iTunes for the daily podcasts (full 2hr show), listen via various live and archived audio steams (see the WSD Website (http://www.worldsoccerdaily.com/)), or catch it on video broadcast at uStream (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/world-soccer-daily).

I started listening around the Summer of 2004 when the Two G's preceded them and Diana the AS Roma fan was the producer. Around September of 05 I started listening everyday on my work computer streaming the show live till I got a warning for my Boss about my internet usage. So I just put iTunes on my computer and downloaded the show to listen to it the following day. Now I have iPod and I download the show from the day before on my way out the door and listen to it at work.
I haven't missed that many shows over the years with all the time I have for podcasting during the day at work.

i started listening roughly around 2003. and it was just Nick and Steven. i'd have to look it up. they were a once a week sort of show and they were mostly at night if i remember. For a time they were called Big soccer radio. i believe i was before that but i'm a litttle fuzzy on what the official name was then. but i'm too lazy to go check my dates. I listened over the internet stream. I have however stopped listening to the show. If find the recent comments too much to tolerate.

Yeah I go way back to when the show was World Soccer Weekly on 1540 the ticket here in LA - started listening around the time of the Champions League Final between Milan and Juve and was pleasantly surprised there was an English language show completely dedicated to futbol in the LA market. As much as I like Steven, I always thought Nick was the better host, and I feel the show has lost something since he left, and the co-hosts since he left have not been that great. I dunno when his poker escapades will be over, but I wish he would return - a while back he said he wouldn't completely be leaving and would guest host from time to time, but I haven't heard him on the air in ages.
Also, a while back it seemed like they were trying to start an all soccer radio station, it had the 2 G's, an Englishman in LA, World Soccer Daily, and The Treble. But apparently the 2 G's had a falling out with the WSD people and I don't even know what became of the Treble. Meh, it was good while it lasted.
Ahhh the good old days.

There was a falling out, and the G's (Graham and Gary) as well as the show producer (Diana Germano of the Treble) formed their own network, Champions Soccer Radio Network (http://www.csrnusa.com/), while Steven and Nick focused on WSD alone.
CSRN has had some financial problems, but they are still hanging around as an outlet for some fan-based podcasts on the sport, and perhaps we'll see some of the old shows return. I'd like to see them succeed as well as WSD.
MatchFit USA is one of the pods there I recommend.
