Description

The MLS has never been in better health. Atlanta United averaged over 50,000 fans a game last season, the fan culture across the country is celebrated and vibrant, and the quality on pitch is higher than ever before. But we wanted to find out what happened back in 1996, the year the league launched on the back of the success of the 1994 World Cup, so we went from coast to coast to meet fans, administrators and the marquee players to give you the inside story on the birth of the fastest growing league in the world. Giant is a Spotify Original podcast in association with Mundial Magazine.

GIANT is a weekly podcast bringing you football stories that matter, told by the people who were there. It’s as much about people as it is penalties, life as it is legends, and emotion as it is extra-time. This is an audio documentary series that takes you deep into the stories you might know, you think you know, or you definitely should know. 'Imagine This American Life, if all the stories somehow related to football.' - The Guardian. Season One of GIANT is a multi-award winning Spotify Original hosted by Owen Blackhurst. Season Two is now available: episodes are released every Thursday, only on Spotify.
