Welcome to the "Best of the GP Soccer Podcast!" (S2 E9)

You're listening to the GP Soccer Podcast with your host, Giovanni Puccini.

Hey there, everyone.

Giovanni Pacini here, host of the GP Soccer Podcast.

Welcome to all of you once again to listening into the show.

As I always say, I deeply appreciate all of you listening, whether you're a first-time listener or a regular listener, which I know I have quite a few out there, which is always nice to hear.

We've got a terrific guest today.

I'm really kind of excited about this.

Not that I'm not excited about past guests.

I don't want to insult anybody in my previous interviews.

But this guy in particular, I'm really excited to talk to, not only about soccer, but his background in broadcasting.

As you all know, because I've talked about it in the past here on the show, that my original career intent was radio and TV broadcasting.

And everything changed when I found out that I could coach soccer.

And I could teach physical education and the rest, as they say, is history.

I had a brief bout in the industry back a number of years ago at WJDA here in Quincy, Massachusetts on Terrestrial AM radio.

Did that for a few years.

And then when the money ran out, so did the show.

But with the advent of technology, here we are.

Here I am in a studio with my laptop and my equipment and able to satisfy both passions, that being obviously the sport of soccer and as a broadcaster as well.

So with all that said, my guest today is Brad Fellman.

Brad Fellman is the veteran New England Revolution play-by-play announcer.

who has called more than 550 Revs matches, and he returns for his 20th season in the booth.

The 2020 season marks his 16th as the play-by-play announcer for the club's broadcasts, both on television and radio.

He's also the executive producer for all Revolution telecasts, heading content, operations, and production.

Brad joined the Revs organization in 2001 as a TV and radio announcer.

He broadcast all five of the Revs MLS Cup appearances and was the announcer for the club's 2007 U.S. Open Cup, Super League of 2008 championship winning matches, and the 2016 U.S. Open Cup Final.

Feldman's resume includes play-by-play commentary for top European competitions on ESPN International, Setanta Sports, and announcing MLS, USL, and college matches on Fox Soccer.

He began his MLS broadcasting career as a sideline reporter for the then Kansas City Wizards way back in 1999.

Brad Feldman, it is an absolute honor to have you on the GP Soccer Podcast.

Welcome, welcome.

Thank you, Giovanni.

It's a nice introduction.

It's good to hear my whole resume compressed into an elevator pitch there.

I like it.

Thank you.

A lot of practice there, my friend.

A lot of practice.

I'm going to make sure I get it in a certain amount of time.

So here you are.
