    We talk Flock Fashion with Mike Quieto. Reminder we are not responsible for the content of our own podcast.

  21. Episode 62 Penetration

    The Sacred and Profane: We discuss the church of Breese Stevens and Dan Fallon's vomit. The only League One podcast to give you a Rashomon-esque recap of the Derek Gebhard goal. And to make a Rashomon reference.

  22. Episode 60 Revivification

    We discuss manure, ties in Tuscon and don't discuss USL League One reffing.

  23. Episode 59- Bedlam

  27. EMERGENCY- Kubapalooza - 12:24:20, 9.02 AM

    this one defies description... Producer Paisley's got a hangover...

  28. Episode 55: Roseus

    The Concacaf Opera, Inbounds and Outbounds for Forward Madison, and our new segment that rejects listener input...

  29. Episode 54: Commencement

    We talk about a lot of stuff-- indeed, this might be the only podcast that covers OJ and Clean Language Psychology-- with the new manager at Forward Madison Carl Craig. Dan, Keith and Kyle are mostly along for the ride.

  30. Episode 53: Encapsulation

    Keith, Kyle and Dan are joined by Rob Chappel to review covering Forward in 2020 and to speculate a bit on 2021. Also, how ironic is having an in-person gathering to discuss banning in-person gatherings...

  31. Episode 52- Progress

    It's unclear what we talk about this week with Peter Wilt, but we shout out Francesca Hong and the Progressive Tradition, so that's cool Dan is out of the 401k.

  32. Episode 51- Expiscatory

    Coaching search... drinking... voting... the usual...

  33. Episode 50- Denouement

    Goodbye to all that: valedictions are given to Coach Daryl Shore.

    We discuss Caden Clark and his parents and his relationship to Forward Madison and the old relationship between Minnesota United and how Keith and Dan are older than Caden's parents and young soccer players and the NBA and Chris Brady and Michael Vang. We don't discuss any of the matches; we do...

  35. Episode 48 Avian

    Specially uploaded for Chairman Schmidt, we talk a bunch of stuff about the match up between Omaha and Forward Madison last week. A perfectly adequate podcast that is probably #betterwithoutaudio. Also, Dan reveals that two men saw him naked before the pod had even begun

  36. Episode 47- KPSOT

    After welcoming Dan back from his Fallonspringa: we laud Landon and take umbrage with the USL; we invent the KPSOT and bring back the Heckin Scale; finally, we talk Tuscon too.

  37. Episode 46 Flock The Vote

    Fuck Chattanooga and Fuck Robin Vos and the other bitch ass Republicans. The pod talks democracy in the park...

  38. Episode 43- Turgidity

    Omar Anguiano stops by to talk kits-- specifically the one La Barra 608 put together with Icarus kits-- and Keith does some dumb voices. Eventually, Kyle and Keith and Omar talk the loss to Greenville.

  39. Episode 42: Endeavor

    Working on the weekend, Kyle and Keith recap Forward versus NEII. We keep it short, but discuss the Vang Train, Ovalle golazo (and who is his doppleganger) and a bunch of other useless things.

  40. Episode 41: Cooperative

    Francesca Hong, Democratic Candidate for the 76th District of Wisconsin joins us... We talk Kenosha, we talk the useless racist Republican party, and we talk Michael Vang and why he matters.

  41. Episode 40- Caesura

    Co-host Kyle Carr speaks about Justice for Jacob Blake. Otherwise, what does the Forward's Backwards Podcast sound like when technical difficulties prevent them from watching the match? Not all that different.

  42. Episiode 39- Chrysalis

    We hope you got your hot takes elsewhere, because Forward's Backwards podcast is serving up leftovers from the Union Omaha match... From Papillon to Wauwatosa... With a side stop in Athens, Georgia... There's also some Kennedy and Carson Daly talk for the heads.

  43. Episode 38 Vangspotting

    USL League 1's number one Canadian Premier League podcast is back to talk Vang-ferroequinology, whether Connor and Josiah need to be named like a wrestling duo or a law firm and head butting...

  44. Episode 37 Aphasia

    Keith, Dan and Kyle try to go as long as they can without discussing the Henny Derby.

  45. Episode 35 Hennerific

    Keith and Kyle discuss the home away from home opener and that Henny Derby feeling with special guest Elliott Barr from the River City 93 podcast. Dele Ali's fashion choices and just how much soccer does Kyle watch are also covered.

  46. Episode 35- Recrudescence

    This week Keith Poniewaz and special co-host Kyle Carr discuss Forward v. North Texas with Neil Hlavaty. They also preview Greenville and offer their meteorological predictions for the "home" opener... No snow is the guess (hope?)

  47. Episode 34- Entanglements

    The flamingo cannot hear the flamingoer .. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming of Forward Madison is discussed with passionate intensity by Dan and Keith along with a cynical prediction of how long the season will last along with Chinese...

  48. Episode 33: Running On Fumes 8

    USL's return and the pod's hiatus with Peter Wilt.

  49. Episode 32: Dissimulation

    This week's podcast welcomes USL's VP of Communications Ryan Madden to talk about the return of USL and how that's going. Kyle Carr theoretically returns to talk TELETHON, but, actually, we spend about 40 minutes rambling about our love of Liverpool and our crushes on GIni, Hendo, Big Virg, Sadio...

  50. Episode 31: Beneficence

    This week, Dan and Keith are joined by Jeffrey Anderson, Grant Pieters, Kyle Carr, and Kelly Ferguson to discuss the Flock's upcoming Telethon and argue about generational differences. Names are mispronounced, music is mentioned, and a good time is had by all.
