Listener sentiment
Soccerwise continues to draw overwhelmingly positive reviews from listeners who regard it as the premier destination for deep, independent coverage of North American soccer — particularly MLS, NWSL, and U.S. national teams — with many crediting hosts David Gass, Tommy Bogert, and Jordan Angeli for filling the void left by Extratime's demise. Recent praise highlights the show's daily World Cup coverage as a standout, and listeners consistently commend the hosts' expertise, chemistry, and willingness to cover smaller-market stories alongside the league's biggest names. A persistent but previously minor set of complaints — audio-level inconsistencies and hosts talking over each other — has resurfaced, with one recent reviewer urging the team not to devolve into shout-radio territory. The most notable shift in the latest reviews is a sharper polarizing thread around political commentary: two recent one-star reviews accuse the hosts of alienating listeners who don't share their political views and of operating in an echo chamber, while an earlier five-star review praised Gass for explicitly advocating allyship and inclusivity. This suggests the show's occasional engagement with social and political topics in soccer is becoming a more visible flashpoint in listener reception, even as the core audience remains highly satisfied.
