  • Viola Station 64: Looking back at Empoli and looking ahead to some other stuff
    Oct 3 2024
    Your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots are back following a snoozefest of a draw at Empoli to, well, discuss the Viola. We start off with a look back at happier times before dipping into some more of Rocco Commisso's comments to the media about the future of the team (content warning: very silly). The meat of this episode, though, is a conversation about what we learned from the Empoli game. We talk about the tactical benefits of a back 3 compared to a back 4, shout out ginger teen god Pietro Comuzzo, and try to figure out if there are any lessons to take into the midweek tie against crack Welsh outfit the New Saints. Along the way, we learn about McMike's post-Disney party hangover, Producer Mike's unconscionable refusal to share his fluency in Welsh, and Tito's musings about what other compound phrases follow the same pluralization rules as attorneys-general.

  • Viola Station 63: Hooray, it's not the international break
    Sep 19 2024
    Want to know who's happy that the international break is over? Yep, it's your three favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots, who are back on the microphone and raring to discuss everything Viola. After running down Tito's safe return from the woods and a quick rehash of the transfer window, we're delighted to dive into affairs that are considerably more current. That means, of course, that we're trying to glean information from Rocco's recent comments to the media; the club owner turned the bombast way down from pressers past and we're fascinated to pick through this Commisso conversation (now with 100% less McMike slander!) and see what we can learn about Fiorentina's long-term direction, from the stadium to potential sales to where Serie A can go from here. Don't worry, though. We move from the esoteric and philosophical to the painfully tangible as we break down that heartbreaker of an Atalanta game, trying to figure what, if anything, it means for Raffaele Palladino and his still-winless boys in the coming weeks and over the rest of the season. Along the way, we learn whose house McMike allegedly hasn’t been inside of recently, how Producer Mike’s going to fix this defense, and Tito’s interest in a new player co-ownership model.

As always, we had a blast making this and hope you enjoy listening. Forza Viola! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Viola Station 62: Lost in the Woods
    Sep 5 2024
    The season's started, the transfer window's closed, and your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots have a lot to say. McMike and Producer Mike try to figure out if Fiorentina is lost in the woods. Are they actually lost? Are they even in the woods? Is Tito out wandering through the forest trying to find them? Are we getting into Betteridge's Law territory? The Mikes start the conversation with a dive into the flurry of activity that closed out the mercato. It's way too early to judge these moves and you'd better believe that won't stop us from running through all of Daniele Pradè's last minute machinations and handing out some grades. Then it's a look at Fiorentina's Conference League draw and the rocky road to get there, Along the way, you get a glimpse of one of McMike's oldest friends, Producer Mike learning live on air just how many central defenders are suspended for the first Conference League game, and just how dead inside your podcasters here are feeling.
