156. The Shirtless Plantain Show

Urban Pitch Podcast - The Beautiful Game of Life

With a multitude of hosts and a vast breadth of topics covered, The Shirtless Plantain Show has been one of our favorite podcasts and platforms in the soccer space for some time now. So when we heard they joined the BLEAV network, we had to link up.

Tosin and Coach join Ramsey and Julio for a discussion about American soccer culture vs. European football culture, the global spread of the game, and our favorite kits of all time.
