Recent Reviews
  • Elton Juan
    Disappointing
    The audio engineering is terrible. Be prepared to turn down the volume when Nima becomes upset. His booming lisp will blow out your speakers and eardrums. Carlo and Nima will often talk in circles and over each others for 5 minutes plus. Carlo thinks David Icke predicted the future. Overall, these guys don’t seem to be the brightest bulbs. It’s unfortunate. There aren’t many quality English podcasts that cover Serie A. Add this one to the list.
  • NapuleDBO
    Great Stuff!
    Great weekly review of calcio!
  • Elliefrankjr
    Best Italian soccer podcast
    I spent a lot of time trying to find the highest quality podcast. Once I saw the Mussolinio guy who was connected to the Trump shooter I decided to give this a shot. Hands down great work from Nima and Carlo. Can’t want to listen to more
  • Sal take it eazzz
    Excellent podcast!
    Really enjoy the podcast but had to unfollow all their social media because they support Hamas (agree to disagree) but other than that, keep up the great work!
  • JuventinoChicago
    Intellectual, Insightful and Well Done
    A very good set of content where the providers clearly understand Italian football history, current landscape and key news. This show is light on speculation and very fact based in my opinion.
  • blacstar4
    My go to
    So glad I discovered this podcast last year. I love their interaction and knowledge of Serie A but mostly Serie A culture
  • Antonio Manta
    In depth
    This podcast is interesting, fun, and informative. They do their homework and are always prepared on the spot.
  • Donald Agnelli
    Crooked Inter!
    Nima is a shill for Crooked Inter, and talks like Stewie Griffin. Carlo The Cake Boss is an insufferable Brit who is never happy. Dynamite combination! Keep working hard!
  • mo wagner stan
    Love it
    2 knowledgeable about the game and cover the league as a whole. What I’ve been looking for
  • Nuti 24

    Nima was out of control in this episode. Normally the podcast is excellent.
  • Hesiiwhshdowmshx
    A wonderful addition
    Recommend by Jack from Ranks FC and I’m more than happy to add it to my football rotation
  • LazioSwan
    THE Go-To Podcast for Serie A Fans
    This podcast has become my go to for all things Serie A. Carlo & Nima do a fantastic job covering all matches, news, transfers and Serie A chaos with a fair and professional demeanor. It’s clear they do their homework and respect their listeners. You won’t be disappointed with this podcast.
  • Jack_Mali
    Best Italian Football Coverage you’ll find
    Carlo and anima are amazing hosts. If you have any interest in Calcio you should be required to give TIFP a listen. Keep it up and Forza Inter!
  • Count1977
    Excellent podcast but coverage skewed towards Inter and Juventus
    This is an excellent podcast for all things Serie A. However, as a Milanista, I have one nitpick. The coverage is skewed towards Inter and Juventus, with considerably less time spent on Milan. I get that neither of the hosts are Milan fans but some balanced coverage would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
  • lynchth2
    Broad Coverage
    This might be the pod for you if you’re looking for broad coverage of Serie A clubs and news. It may be a difficult listen for Americans seeking to learn about Serie A as hosts have admitted bias towards American players.
  • mizage
    Pretty good
    Enjoyable podcast on the Serie A. Sometimes the hosts linger a bit too long on a single topic. Don’t agree with a lot of the opinions especially when it comes to the super league or the paranoia about the main stream press. Worth a listen.
  • PleaseRead!!!
    These guys are good
    Pick this podcast
  • Wgdaquila
    The Most Crooked Podcast, Maybe Ever
    Crazy Carlo and Nasty Nima, two sick guys who do a terrific job. Keep working hard!
  • Saood Shamsi
    The best Calcio pod!
    Love the time and work you guys put in, great detail and insight👍.
  • J R Bell
    This is my favorite calcio podcast
    I think it’s the best. I listen to lots of different podcast and I like this one most.
  • zyadcv
    Review
    You guys are not neutral, Juve and inter fans, you spend 80% of the show talking about Juve and inter and 3 minutes about milan🤔
  • Newt Vander faht
    Bad
    Listened to the free episode they dropped. They know what they’re talking about which is the only reason I tried listening the whole time because otherwise it was unlistenable. They just talked over eachother the whole time. Def not paying for it
  • richis76
    Misleading name of the podcast. Should be inter, juve and roma pod
    Biased. Nice inteviews though. Not enough to follow if you don’t follow clubs hosts support. Unfollowed
  • Smokey8Strings
    No more Chloe
    They lost me when they got rid of Chloe.
  • thiccccccccccccccc boi
    The glass will always remain half empty with this trio
    Insightful, but if you’ve never witnessed an example of the league for yourself, you’d think it’s a European league with AYSO teens for players and PTA members for refs and owners based on the majority of these podcasters narrative. Seria A is not without its problems and dysfunctions, but it is not the parade of horrible these guys will lead you to believe.
  • Oskmart
    I love this podcast
    I follow the serie A in the United States watching ESPN+, but If I want to listen professional comments about the Serie A, this is the show. I wished they broadcast daily but, to make it more exciting, once weekly is okay. I love that the commentators speak perfect English.
  • Uncle Rossasaurus
    This should be #1 on everyone’s list of Calcio coverage.
    Everyone is insightful and well informed. Topics cover the entire league rather just focusing on Juve and Milan. This is a great example of what football podcasts should be.
  • cesm32
    Best serie a English podcast
    I’ve listened to every serie A podcast I can and this is by far the best. Three great hosts with great insight.
  • Laytony10
    Great Serie A Pod!
    I’ve listened to other Serie A pods and this one is the best so far! Hands down my favorite. Great insight! The three work together so well! Love listening to Nima. What makes this great is they touch on all teams not just the big 5 or 6 and this comes from a Juve fan. Looking forward to 19-20 season pods! Give us a mid-season Serie-A transfer update pod!
  • MJGNY
    Great show
    By far the best podcast about everything Serie A !
  • Soccer Coach Mike
    Awesome show
    Three knowledgeable people in John, Nima, and Chole host the show. There is a chemistry there too... Informative and entertaining too!!! I gave the show one and two stars by accident I listened to latest episode and am going back to past shows ...
  • jklemcke
    Fantastic Show!
    After deciding to get more involved in Serie A, I heard about this podcast from a Calcioland interview. I like how the three hosts do a fantastic job of talking about all of the teams in the league, and not just the two Milan clubs and Juve (that's what David Amoyal does for me). All three hosts bring knowledge and passion to this beautiful game, and they provide different perspectives to balance each other. One complaint though, Chloe's audio is 5 times louder than Nima's, so it's very difficult to listen to this podcast with earbuds, because one moment Nima is whispering to me about Piatek, and then Chloe starts screaming her response. If y'all could balance it off of John (who seems to be the host of the recording equipment) that woudl be fantastic, thanks!
  • Mailcommando
    Great roundtable discussion of Serie A
    Because of the expanded TV coverage of Serie A here in the states, I've found myself looking for podcasts that take a deep dive into the league. The Serie A show does just that. Not a lot of bells or whistles just three writers discussing football and the drama of the league. All three hosts have a favorite club but they don't spend the entire show talking about their club. Looking forward to watching this podcast grow as the season progresses. Well worth a listen.
  • Wesley N D
    A Gem
    The Serie A Show is a joy to listen to each week. The knowledge and passion between John, Chloe, and Nima is unparalleled and their rapport makes for a great product. Looking forward to many more episodes!
  • great lakes trek
    Great new show
    In a ever more crowded field of Serie A podcasts, this is an excellent edition worth your time with three very knowledgeable hosts
  • LexiferHDMI
    FINALLY!
    About time we get a pod for you all. Now I’ve got this and Calcioland to fill my day with some great, unbiased serie A news and discussions. Can’t wait to see what all you have in store for us.
  • Johnnyfishalot
    Truly Amazing Podcast!!
    Fantastic team of SerieA experts. True insight on the game and a must listen for not only Calcio fans but all Futbol/Soccer fans and enthusiests of the game. Fantastic content from across the league and great stories and insights that only SerieA and its experts like John, Chloe, and Nima could bring you. Absolutly fantastic show! An absolute must listen!
  • Fdturbo
    Amazing!
    Greatest crew assembled since Ocean’s 11, The Avengers, and Fast and Furious Franchise. They all know about the ins and out of the calcio industry. This podcast is BY FAR the best Podcast our there! Fight me!
