Sean and John return from their brief hiatus to discuss the NISA 2021 Fall Season and start unpacking all the news (and feelings) about DCFC's departure from NISA and new affiliation with the USL.

John & Sean are joined by fellow DCFC owner and club CEO Sean Mann to discuss the massively successful investment campaign, how the club and its people are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and how DCFC is engaging with the #BlackLivesMatter fight for racial justice in its communities. We also have #Juicenotes for the Independent Cup/Rust Belt Derby wins against Buffalo and Cleveland and take a quick overview of the roster (including new additions) for the upcoming NISA "fall season."

Sean & John speak with Sam Piraine, head coach of the Detroit City FC women's team and technical director of DCFC Youth West. The women's season may only have lasted three matches, but there was still a lot to talk about - including Sam's brief stint coaching against City and why it's a lot better to be with us than against us.

New league, who dis?

Sean shares what we know -- or often don't know, because this is lower-league American soccer -- about the seven other teams that Detroit City FC will face in this inaugural NISA Spring season.

[pause for hysterical laughter]

it's time for a 2019 Juicenotes, Playoff Edition!

Sean breaks down the three teams traveling to Keyworth this weekend, and he and John dig into what's different about City this season and what might be starting to change in the near future.

Also, John puts Sean on the spot and makes him pick a Black Arrow winner.

#Juicenotes is back, as Sean takes us through the players who've been announced for DCFC's 2019 NPSL roster before the opening friendly at Chattanooga.

Oh, and if you're one of the clubs whom we've heard listen to this podcast in order to get inside info on City: You suck, your club sucks and go do your own damned homework.

Sean and John sit down with Detroit City FC head coach Trevor "MF" James for a wide-ranging discussion about what brought him to City, how the team will operate in its new professional structure, how he's building a roster, what the club's supporters mean to him and the players and much more.

Sean and John sit down with DCFC co-owner and CEO Sean Mann to get an update on the club, its league, its new ventures and some thoughts on what the season and future hold.

(Interview recorded on February 11, 2019.)

At roughly halfway through the NPSL regular season, we take a look at what's going right on the field for City, what needs work and who's impressed us so far.

Also, Coach Sean gets put on the spot and is made to pick his starting 11 at this point of the season.

DCFCFC returns (even if we don't know exactly what we're calling it these days) with Sean breaking down what we know so far about Detroit City FC's 2018 roster.

For various reasons, including lawyers, it's been roughly half a season since a full podcast. That means there's a lot to talk about. Most things happening on the field are not good, while things in the stands and in the community are wonderful.

There's an #askPadre on the Rust Belt Derby, Sean points out that the standard narrative about what's wrong with the team doesn't seem to be truly correct and we get into the rest of the division on and off the field.
