Jan 15, 2025•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders held their first official day of preseason training on Monday and while they didnt do much, we did get a chance to get to know a bit more about Paul Arriola, who officially joined the team earlier in the day after a trade with FC Dallas.

Note: This episode of Sound Bites is being made available to ev...
Jan 14, 2025•20 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Sounders made their acquisition of Jesus Ferreira official on Wednesday. To give us a better idea of what kind of player and person the Sounders are adding, we talked to FC Dallas insider Steve Davis. Not only is Davis one of the longest tenured soccer writers in North America, but hes also the color commentator for FC Dallas and has been covering Ferreira for nearly a decade. Davis pushes back against some of the narratives surrounding Ferreira and thinks the Sounders have picked up a poten...
Jan 08, 2025•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast With news that the Sounders have finalized the details of their trade with FC Dallas to acquire Jesus Ferreira dropping today, Jeremiah and Mark spun up a quick 30-minute podcast to discuss everything we know. They address the reality that this might not quite be what fans had in mind this offseason, but it undeniably makes the Sounders better on paper than they were last year. Beyond that, time will tell.

Dec 04, 2024•2 hr 49 min•Transcript available on Metacast One of the breakout stars of MLS Season Pass is former MLS star Sacha Kljestan. As one of the lead studio analysts, hes proven himself to be clever, entertaining and well researched. We are thrilled to have him join the podcast and help us preview the Western Conference final.

Nov 29, 2024•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Niko Moreno (@ElRoloNW) joins Jeremiah to discuss the final preparations for the Sounders Western Conference semifinal against LAFC. Niko is particularly interested in seeing some sort of tactical change and suggests putting Ral Ruidaz back at striker with Jordan Morris moving to the wing. He also floats the possibility of seeing Joo Paulo back into the starting lineup, which becomes even more attractive if Paul Rothrock cant start. Jeremiah and Niko also discuss some of the big moves arou...
Nov 21, 2024•43 min•Transcript available on Metacast One of our favorite announcer teams on the MLS Season Pass lineup is Max Bretos and Brian Dunseth. Weve had Dunseth on the show a couple of times, but with the Sounders gearing up for LAFC we thought it would be good to have Bretos on for the first time ever. Bretos is one of the longest tenured announcers in MLS, first starting out on Fox Soccer Channel before moving to ESPN and then eventually to MLS Season Pass. In addition to calling games, he also does work with LAFC. We figured hed be a gr...
Nov 18, 2024•42 min•Transcript available on Metacast With a pretty big lull in the schedule, Jeremiah and Aaron are doing their monthly mailbag. Among the questions they tackle: Who should have played more? Who should the Sounders move on from? What positions should Sounders prioritize for upgrade? How will the Sounders finally beat LAFC?
Nov 14, 2024•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast No, it wasnt pretty, but in times like this its important to celebrate good things. By beating the Houston Dynamo, the Sounders have qualified for the the Western Conference semifinals for the 14th time in 16 seasons. Its the seventh most in MLS history, and the only teams who have done it more had 13-season head starts. Jeremiah and Aaron give them their due.
Nov 08, 2024•41 min•Transcript available on Metacast That was not exactly the performance we were hoping to get from the Sounders, but to act as though winning the game is anything short of a positive is rather silly. Jeremiah and Aaron break it all down and look ahead to what Game 2 might look like.
Oct 31, 2024•43 min•Transcript available on Metacast Andrew Pearson (aka @interpearsonal on Twitter) joins Jeremiah to give a tactical preview of the upcoming series against the Houston Dynamo. In the Dynamo, Pearson sees a very similar team to the Sounders, or at least very similar to how they Sounders played last season.
Oct 26, 2024•26 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Seattle Sounders came into their regular-season finale against the Portland Timbers absolutely flying, having won three straight and unbeaten in six. They started strong, too, jumping out to a 1-0 lead and looking by far the better team. But as has become all too familiar against the Timbers at home, one mistake snow-balled and they had to settle for a 1-1 tie. The Sounders still head into the playoffs on a seven-game unbeaten run and by most objective standards had a very good regular seaso...
Oct 23, 2024•50 min•Transcript available on Metacast Longtime friend of the show and Timbers expert Chris Rifer joins us to help preview Saturdays Cascadia Cup clash. Its been an up and down season for the Timbers, who are likely looking at this game as something like their MLS Cup.
Oct 18, 2024•45 min•Transcript available on Metacast With one match left to play in the regular season, the Sounders have already improved on last year by many metrics. But the last game is a big one. Jeremiah and Aaron debate just how important it is to beat the Timbers in the season finale.
Oct 16, 2024•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast MLS Season Pass Taylor Twellman joined Jeremiah to talk about Jordan Morris future as a No. 9, the impressive work turned in by Brian Schmetzer, Yeimars Defensive Player of the Year candidacy and the Sounders chances of making a run to MLS Cup. You might be surprised to learn hes pretty bullish almost across the board.
Oct 11, 2024•45 min•Transcript available on Metacast The win over the Whitecaps changes the math considerably for the Sounders. Jeremiah discusses that win and then brings Burgundy Waves Matt Pollard onto the show to preview the upcoming Rapids game.
Oct 04, 2024•49 min•Transcript available on Metacast Apparently, the Sounders are good again. Coming off that frustrating tie with the Earthquakes, the Sounders got back to their winning ways with a professional win over the houston Dynamo. There wasnt really anything special or impressive about their 1-0 win, but it was maybe more important that way as they showed they could both beat a team they are likely to face in the playoffs and held on for a one-goal victory. Theyre now officially in the playoffs, control their destiny for home-field advan...
Oct 01, 2024•51 min•Transcript available on Metacast Niko Moreno joins Jeremiah to discuss the somewhat uncertain future of Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer, who is due to be out of contract at the end of the season. Could the Sounders really turn over the reins to someone else? Who might that be? Would Schmetzer have a position elsewhere in the organization? Or is he going to be in charge of the team for the foreseeable future. Niko and Jeremiah also discuss Jordan Morris emergence as a bonafide No. 9 and look ahead to what will almost...
Sep 27, 2024•46 min•Transcript available on Metacast Jeremiah and Aaron are back with their monthly mailbag episode. This time, they discuss Obed Vargas asking price, the appropriate level of roster churn, and the future of various members of the Sounders front office and coaching staffs.
Sep 24, 2024•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Fresh off a couple of encouraging wins, the Sounders reminded us that they are far from a perfect team. This time, they dropped two points in brutal fashion when they gave up an 89th minute goal to the San Jose Earthquakes Jeremiah and Aaron discuss the relative degree of concern over blowing leads late at home, while also singing the praises of Jordan Morris recent play.
Sep 20, 2024•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast Yep, were still talking about Goalie-Gate but we promise it wasnt the whole show and we only wanted to get off our chest that the idea that this was a principled stand was a little rich. Otherwise, we dig into the positives that we can take away from the Sounders 4-0 win over the Crew and look ahead to the stretch run.
Sep 12, 2024•50 min•Transcript available on Metacast Coming off a frustrating loss to LAFC in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals, the Seattle Sounders badly needed a bounceback performance against the Portland Timbers. They did not get one. Instead, they are now looking a season where the success is almost entirely defined by how they do in the playoffs. Jeremiah and Aaron discuss what promises to be one of the most important six-month stretches in Sounders history. Credits Thanks to our sponsor Full Pull Wines . Nos Audietis is the flagship podca...

To get to everything, we decided to do our monthly mailbag episode and sort of clear the notebook, so to speak.

Aug 22, 2024•1 hr 8 min•Transcript available on Metacast Are the Sounders making us fall in love with Leagues Cup? No, not quite, but they have at least made us emotionally invested in this run they're on. The win over Pumas was a ton of fun and that comes on the heels of a solid performance against the Galaxy. Jeremiah and Aaron discuss the match while also expressing their frustration with the summer transfer window and the season-ticket fiasco.
