The NISA Today FC podcast is your source for all things NISA. The podcast began in September 2019 as a YouTube show hosted by Josh Taylor. Josh discusses the week’s major stories around the league, then goes beyond the headlines to analyze the soccer biz on and off the pitch with coaches, players, and front office staff throughout NISA and NISA Nation. From rumors to match recaps, I chat about it all, covering the latest league news, match previews, interviews, and more. Now, here is a little more info about your host.
