In episode 5, we talk about the season to date.  Adam starts a mysterious stopwatch at the beginning of the show.  What does the stopwatch mean?!  Is he trying to keep us on task?  You won't know until you listen!  We break down how the season has gone so far, talk about how the easy Man City Champions League draw and introduce a new segment called "Small Club City" where we discuss the controversy surrounding the Kompany testimonial.

Episode 1 - Season Review

This episode of Rust Belt Reds was originally recorded back on April 6th, 2019.  It was a one week veering away from a podcast called Rust Belt Running.  The soccer hating co-host, Andrew, took the weekend off to go on a cruise.   Adam and I enjoyed doing the podcast so much that we decided to turn it into a full-fledged podcast.  So consider this the Family Matters to Rust Belt Running's Perfect Strangers (aka a spin-off). In this episode we talk about #SaveTheCrew, our predictions for the end of the PL season (SPOILER ALERT: ADAM GETS IT WRONG), share our CL predictions and play a fun word association game. But don't trust us saying it's fun.  Decide for yourself by listening! Thank you for listening.

Rust Belt Reds - The Beginning

A Liverpool FC podcast, hosted by two Ohioans named Adam and Thomas. We talk Liverpool, dream about going to Anfield, and throw in some domestic/international footy talk from time to time. We call the sport football, soccer, futbol, and footyball interchangeably.
