Welcome to the new and improved Quakes Cast, covering all aspects of the San Jose Earthquakes and their 2011 Major League Soccer season. Hosts Robert Jonas, Kelly Gray, and Joe Nuxoll will conduct a weekly round table discussion on the news around the club and MLS, as well as bring in special guests from the team and around the league to contribute to the conversation. So sit back and enjoy the musings of a soccer journalist, a former Earthquakes player, and an ace photographer -- all three huge fanatics of the beautiful game -- and be prepared to laugh and learn as they traverse from the stands to the field and back again in the fun and informative official San Jose Earthquakes podcast.
Episode 1 Summary:
Episode 1, March 17, 2011. This week on the Quakes Cast, Robert, Kelly, and Joe get their feet wet as new hosts of the San Jose Earthquakes official podcast. We check out Kelly's bona fides early on -- and make sure to ignore any musings he may have about his time spent with the LA Galaxy -- before talking about both the Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake ahead of this weekend's regular season opener. Robert talks with Michael C. Lewis of the Salt Lake Tribune to learn more about what RSL might bring to Buck Shaw stadium on Saturday. Robert also made it out to Earthquakes training earlier in the week to catch up with Head Coach Frank Yallop. Your hosts also talk Demolition Day, gourmet food trucks and new concessions at Buck Shaw, before making their predictions for the home opener. The Quakes Cast is a work in progress, and Robert (@robertjonas), Kelly (@kelg22), and Joe (@joeracer) all look forward to your questions and comments on Twitter. A new e-mail and call-in phone number are in the works too, and will be up and running in the next few weeks."
Hope you enjoy the show!
