As a newcomer to the States, chances are most of you reading this already know more than I do about the lower league scene here. So if I start stating the obvious, I apologize. Humo(u)r me and my British ways, please! This inaugural interview is with Steve Siomos, President of the Metropolitan Soccer League here in Chicago. The league has been in existence for over 40 years now, and has given rise to some of NL Chicago’s mightiest sides. I hope you enjoy it. Hello everyone! Today is a special day, and I want to get straight to it. I'm pleased to announce that AP is launching a new platform for you to find all the soccer related content you could ever want. The AP Podcast Network.
Right now, we are in Phase One of this project, as you'll see by clicking Here. We have several exciting partners covering the entire scope of soccer in the United States, and are hoping to make it easier for people who are interested to start a podcast and have a built in network of eager listeners. Phase Two will be later this year, and you'll get to see those changes this summer as things are finalized and rolled out to you, the breathless public. I am also working on creating some more exclusive content for people looking for help and or advice in running/starting a team. Things like budget plans, marketing and membership ideas and such. Also, to keep the site up and running, AP will be starting a Patreon account. Before you start rolling your eyes and dismiss the idea, if 100 readers give $1 a month, I'll be able to keep the site live as it's own domain for a long, long time. Lastly, thanks for being a part of this journey. Who would have thought a blog with no readers when it started would get this far? And it's all thanks to you. Hope you enjoy the new phase of the ride. Today's interview is brought to you by LeagueApps. League Apps is your one stop shop for streamlining the day to day activities at your club and league.
