Interview with Alicia Rodriguez

916 Republic Podcast

Interview Alert! This week we have a very special interview with a journalist and faithful friend of the pod, Alicia Rodriguez. Alicia is a reporter and editor for SB Nation who, in addition to writing about the Sacramento Republic, also diligently covers the San Jose Earthquakes, the LA Galaxy, and LAFC. Many of our listeners will be familiar with Alicia’s work on SB Nation’s Sacramento dedicated site, Indomitable City Soccer. We also had Alicia on the show back in March to talk MLS as it pertains to Sacramento, so please do scroll back and give that a listen.

In this episode, we catch up with Alicia since we last talked, and then move into a quick recap of the MLS Cup final between the Seattle Sounders and the Columbus Crew. We spend a majority of our time asking Alicia about the state of each of the California MLS clubs, and then round out the interview with a discussion about the Sacramento Republic’s off-season activity. Alicia also shares a hilarious and endearing story about the Republic’s head coach Mark Briggs at the very end of the show. Thanks so much to Alicia for coming on and sharing her MLS expertise with us!
