Among the things covered in this, the very first episode of the JonMarthaler.com podcast:

  • The Loons are resilient, sure, but at some point we have to focus less on how often they get back up and start focusing on why they fall down so often
  • Marcus Caldeira keeps scoring, Kelvin Yeboah keeps scoring
  • The defense needs something more than just small tweaks
  • Takeaways from a meeting with interim MNUFC chief soccer officer Hank Stebbins
  • A listener question that's trying to restore good vibes

Now that we've recorded an episode, the next step is going to be to figure out how to get the podcast into all your favorite podcast players. For now, though, you can listen here.
