"New York's soccer fans take the match events back to discussions in bars, around living rooms and online. For a few fans of the New York Red Bulls (RBNY) and New York City FC (NYCFC), they bring post-match talk to the mics, blending tactical breakdowns with wit in snappy episodes. Though they may represent different sides of New York, these podcast shows reflect the growing sense of community, online and offline, around New York soccer."
"Having just hit a million audio and video plays across all platforms, Mark Fishkin and his Seeing Red podcast team have spent the better part of 15 years working towards giving RBNY fans something to hang onto in between games, according to Fishkin. When you're the 11th or 12th professional team in the market, there's very little major market mainstream media covering MLS in town, Fishkin told amNewYork."
"Two friends and a $50 microphone later, Fishkin and his team have made such an impact on the RBNY community that they interact with fans on the show weekly, asking for feedback and even interacting with them during live shows the Seeing Red pod has hosted in arenas. Having the fans feel like they can make an impact on the show is incredibly important, Fishkin said."
Fan-produced podcasts sustain post-match soccer conversations across New York by blending tactical breakdowns and humor. These shows represent supporters of New York Red Bulls and New York City FC while building community both online and offline. Seeing Red reached over a million audio and video plays and has delivered roughly 15 years of RBNY-focused coverage to offer consistent, professional-style content. The program actively involves listeners through weekly interactions, feedback, live arena shows, emails and fan-created songs. Hosts aim to give fans a platform to influence show content and to provide dedicated coverage not widely available in mainstream media.
