I'm looking for an webcasting radio station featuring sports talk that includes real discussion of soccer, that I can listen to on the web while at work. I am, regrettably, monolingual, so it would have to be in English (from the UK probably, but not necessarily). Any suggestions?
Talksport (UK) www.talksport.net BBC Five Live www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive (sport usually on at 7pm UK time)
Thanks, guys! Great stuff. I'd listened to FiveLive, and you're right, when they're not doing war coverage, they're pretty good. I just got sick of the war coverage. I'm listening to TalkSport now, and it sounds very promising. I do have a question, though: is that the same Alan Brazil who played on loan for the Detroit Express when he was 18 or 19? I can't remember from which club he was on loan at the time.
I listen to Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport every morning (8am EST) and think they're hilarious. Otherwise, the current presenters are pretty crap. Brazil, Kaufman, Durham all try to play shock jock with their stupid opinions. If you care about London clubs - the BEST radio show on the air is BBC Radio London's preview with Tom Watt. 1 hour before the Saturday kickoff (9am EST). www.bbc.co.uk/london
I strongly recommend TalkSport. I listen to that station all day long at the office except when there are matches online to listen to. TalkSport was down for two months at the beginning of the year and I was really getting fed up having to use BBC Five Live. Five Live has too much news and covers more stuff on other sports which I've got no interest. I also recommend going to UEFA.com's website on Champions League and UEFA Cup match days. They have a free panel show where they discuss all of the action and the goals as they go in. If you really need to find anything audio on the internet you must check out www.socceraudio.com. It has everything soccer from match commentaries to soccer shows from all over the world and in all different languages. Enjoy,

if your looking for a soccer talk show here are some: http://www.soccerfanaticsradio.com/ on Mondays 6-9 http://www.worldsoccerweekly.com/ on Sundays 7-9 am http://www.wust1120.com/index2.html on Mondays 7-9
Yeah, that Soccer Fanatics show is one of my favorites. Of course, I'm biased, since I happen to be one of the hosts..... I like Talksport very much. I love how the commercials are exactly like the cheesy radio ads here. It makes it less exotic-sounding, and it's just what I was looking for: the familiar sports-talk format, only mostly about soccer.
http://www.wust1120.com/index2.html on Mondays 7-9 I'm pretty sure they are on from 6-7pm Eastern Time.
I know you're a big Celtic fan and the Boavista Vs Celtic UEFA Cup second leg is going to be online on BBC Scotland on thursday at 3:00pm eastern. Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/sportscotland/sportsound/ Kevin Perrysburg, Ohio

Finally got a computer at work where I can listen to internet radio and have been listening to lots of your archives while I slave over my labor. Really enjoying it. Keep up the good work.
Re: Re: BLATANT GRATUITOUS PLUG COMING Yes it is, and I can't tell you how good it is to hear from one a fan of Grand Prix Radio America, we will be back live on May 13th, for now check out our website at www.gpradioshow.com and from there you can also buy official Grand Prix Radio America merchandise.. Thanks for listening! Aaron
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. We're done with our recent flood of league preview shows, so we'll be having fewer interviews and more of Josh and I talking. Please don't let that discourage you from listening.
