Ultra World Podcast

Marc and Sean are back together and talking World Cup ‘26: Who have emerged as the players to watch once the tournament ends and league play resumes/begins?

Author Todd Smith joins the show to discuss his new book Relegated , published by Simon & Schuster. A real sports fan’s view of the football fandom from coast to coast in the UK, spanning pick-up football madness to a freezing stadium -- braving it all for the beautiful game. Relegated is available at local bookstores and at online book retailers.

The Ultra World podcast takes in the Paley Center’s World Cup exhibit, with Sean getting a tour from curator Jason Lynch ... and an interview with former USMNT member and MLS champion Greg Garza!

Special appearances by former USMNT member Greg Garza and NYC FC play-by-by play announcer Glenn Crooks.

Marc is back in the mix with his players -- and matches -- to keep an eye on during the World Cup. Oh! And he’s joined by Sean and the Soccer Sharps, all looking at the top player storylines and games to watch.

Sean’s flying solo for one last trip, so he’s going to the stars and talking with astrologist & host of "The Weekly Transit" Scott Tejerian. Sean picks 8 players with the most intriguing storylines heading into the World Cup, while Scott reads the stars and sees what planetary transits are in store for them.

Plus, we learn about NYC Footy!

It's the conclusion of the Ultra World Podcast’s very special "Wrexham" trilogy. Emmy Award-winning editor Steve Welch gives Marc and Sean a peek behind the curtain about how the show came to be, plus they discuss Disney FC and how British fans are just funnier (sorry, Cameron Crazies!).

If we May (get it?), this month on the Ultra World Podcast features a Wrexham Trilogy! Sean & Marc "Do a Wrexham" with Emmy Award-winning editor Michael Oliver, who gives the guys a peek behind the post-production scene on the popular show. This week's episode promises a little filmmaking, obviously some football, and a really fun listen.

While Marc is out "on assignment," Sean takes the reins and dives into Manchester United. The fellas stop by Smithfield Hall to meet up with some Man U supporters, and Sean dives into the team’s history and iconic stadium. Plus, Scott Tejerian joins in to read the astrological chart of the Red Devils.

Five months into the journey to find their collective fútbol families, the guys deliver a progress report of sorts — including how far they’ve come and where they’re headed next.

Marc and Sean continue their conversation with director Anthony Wonke, discussing his documentaries on Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, Jr.

Marc and Sean warmly welcome award-winning director Anthony Wonke to the show! They delve into Wonke’s documentary on Cristiano Ronaldo -- he followed Ronaldo around for over a year starting in 2014; from the Champions League Final, to the World Cup, to El Clásico vs. Messi. It's a can’t-miss episode for Ronaldo fans.

Marc and Sean continue their chat with Devin and Jordan, “The Soccer Sharps.” The guys talk about the upcoming World Cup, which clubs have the most resilient fan bases, and we learn one of the fellas (ok, it’s Marc) thinks 1979 was only 37 years ago instead of 47.

Marc and Sean welcome brothers Devin and Jordan, hosts of the popular “Soccer Sharps” show. The self-described “couple of degenerate handicappers” talk – among other things – about how they got into soccer, prognosticating, and podcasting.

We rejoin hosts Marc and Sean live at the College Media Association’s annual convention as they continue their conversation with NYCFC broadcasters Glenn Crooks and Roberto Abramowitz. The fellas lament about ticket prices, give a little NYC radio history, and bequeath superlatives on the MLS fanbases.

Marc and Sean pick up their talk about Tottenham Hotspur -- and it was perfect timing, given the sacking of Thomas Frank -- with special guests including members of the Montclair (NJ) Spurs Supporters' Group (RIP, Pineapple Express BBQ) and our resident astrologist, Scott Tejerian.

Marc and Sean continue talking Reds, including whether Sean somehow jinxed the defending Premier League champions and what might make jumping on the Liverpool FC bandwagon so appealing, along with a check of their charts with our resident astrologist, Scott Tejerian.
