Freelance sports writing machine, Ari Liljenwall (@arililjenwall) gives us a glimpse of life as an independent journalist covering teams like Seattle Sounders FC. He busy sprinkling in the hot takes like it's salt on french fries while our Branden is off viewing art wrong in Europe. We cover important pod topics including the race for the Golden Boot, the real reason Sammy the Sounder is back (looking at you, Bradley), and his favorite ever Seattle Sounder. - A quick note: this episode was set to drop before the Toronto FC match but the feed was disabled by an oversight above our paygrade! Still felt this convo was fun and worth sharing. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
