Interviews

There's not much good to say about about the USMNT's 5-1 loss to Colombia ahead of Copa America, but at least Christian got to interview Michelle Akers, Ali Krieger, and Alexis Nunes! Christian and Alexis are back together in the studio at last and boy do they have a lot to talk about! The guys kick off the show by recapping their respective trips to the Champions League Final and TST, which unsurprisingly included a ton of hilarious stories. Then, they discuss the USMNT's horrific display against Colombia and ask what needs to change ahead of Copa America to ensure we don't get embarrassed while hosting the competition. We finish the episode with three more incredible interviews from TST, two with USWNT legends in Michelle Akers and friend of the program, Ali Krieger, and one with the incredibly talented Alexis Nunes of ESPN FC.

Glasgow band The Eisenhowers released their third album last month and the last track on it, and the first single taken from it, is a football based song called "3 O'Clock On A Saturday". Dubbed "a love letter to Scottish football" it's an evocative song, made all the more meaningful by having our ability to attend football matches taken away from us just now. We chat with singer songwriter Raymond Weir about the song, how football runs deep in us all, and give it a play for you all to enjoy. It even namechecks Bayview!All of that, plus we talk going back in time to watch famous matches, Cameron Barnes features as our Artists of the Month alongside the Methil and District Pipe Band, and we find out if Davie Beaton fancies a chocolate digestive.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:02.52: East Fife News of the Week18.06: Euan Donaldson interview110.45: Anyone Fancy A Chocolate Digestive? - Davie Beaton112.50: Artists of the Month - Cameron Barnes - From Now On120.17: What games would you go back in time in the TARDIS to see?132.50: Raymond Weir on his band's new football song158.07: Wavelength - The Eisenhowers - 3 O'Clock On A Saturday
