Talkin' Jacks Talkin' Jacks

Ben, Chris, and ALEX!!!! Record one last episode to say thanks and goodbye to their listeners and podcasting about the Charlotte Independence. We had a blast reminiscing (Its not a clip show, promise) and talk about what their outlooks on soccer are going forward. Thanks to everyone who listened to us through the ups and downs the last 4 years!
The pod may be over, but you can still follow all three of these guys on twitter to see what they are up to next.
