The guys from Climbing the Ladder haven't given us an answer on the 5/28 show yet, but we'll keep you guys posted

Hello everyone, and thanks for everyone that's listened to the first 3 shows.  We've already got the next 3 planned out, so here's what you can look forward to:

5/21/08-Kevin and Russell are back with edition #4 of Yank and the Mank radio! We'll be discussing the FA Cup final, the Champions League final, and of course, more stupid transfer rumors. Call or email the show!

5/28/08-The show goes in a different direction this week as Kevin and Russell discuss the international friendlies and MLS. As always, we'll be talking stupid transfer rumors and taking your calls and e-mails.

6/4/08-This week's show is a big hour long Euro 2008 preview! Of course, we'll be taking your calls if you want to discuss Euro 2008 or anything else with us.

 

In addition, I've been sending some e-mails out trying to get interesting guests for the show.  We're hoping to have the writer of Climbing the Ladder (http://usasoccer.blogspot.com/) on for the May 28th show, which will have a lot of MLS discussion, and one of the bloggers from the Euro 2008 section of World Cup Blog (http://euro2008.worldcupblog.org/) on for the June 4th Euro 2008 preview.

 

Thanks to everyone who has listened so far.  We hope that you continue to listen, and that more of you tune in as the weeks go by.  Tell your friends or something!

Today at 5 PM eastern, 2 PM pacific, right after the UEFA Cup final and Championship playoff match, Yank and the Mank radio comes at you with the 3rd edition of the show, which we anticipate will be technical difficulty free this time!  The content has been there, but it's taken until now to work out all of the technical kinks, which I'm positive we've done this time around.  To listen:

Show #1 went well, despite the couple of hiccups.  Russell and I were on an international call, and as a result, there was a 2 second delay that caused us to cut each other off a few times, as well as some dead air.  The good news is that I know how to fix it, and, despite that issue, I feel the content was still very good.  Here’s where you can download the show:

Welcome to the blog for Yank and the Mank! If you go to our profile, you can find all of the information on our radio show.

Our show will only be on once a week, so we'll have a lot we want to talk about between shows. As a result, we'll have a blog running about our thoughts on all things football, on Ole Ole, Soccerflow, and our BTR homepage. I'll most likely do some running blogs of MLS games, as well as blogs about soccer writing and commentary that I find to be substandard, similar to the best blog on the internet about baseball, FireJoeMorgan.com.

Thanks, and we hope you tune in and enjoy!
