New album. Recorded in Berlin in 2023 and 2024. Mastered by Toby Götz. 

I need some council (f s v2)

Estudiantes beat Racing 2–0 in round 3, and as such are the only team with a 100% (winning) record. Sam, English Dan and Andrés run the rule over that match, River Plate's iffy 0–0 draw with San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors' 2–1 win over Huracán, among other games. We also have a review of the Sudamericano Sub 20 in the last week and answer some listeners' questions.

Episode 520: Estudiantes set the pace early on

Berlin-based producer and DJ, Gwenan, brings an eclectic set spanning techno, house, acid and electro. Recorded live from Globus Summer Invitational at Tresor on August 21 2024.

Gwenan | Live At Tresor - 21.08.24

lamping feb 12 2025

This week Sam, English Dan, Chris and Andrés look at a round and a half of matches that have seen everyone who'd played up to the start of recording get mixed results (with the scores that came in after we wrapped up continuing that trend). One Argentine team who do have some consistency are the national under-20s, who've secured qualification for the U-20 World Cup later this year and have a showdown with Brazil on Thursday night to effectively decide the South American title. And what on earth is going on at Estudiantes?

Episode 521: A mixed week for ... pretty much everyone

This week Sam, Chris and Andrés look at a round of league action that saw Vélez Sarsfield lose again and Tigre and Central Córdoba continue their unexpectedly bright starts to the season. Both Boca Juniors and River Plate claimed narrow victories, though Boca's Libertadores playoff first leg away to Alianza Lima ended in defeat on Wednesday. And what on earth is Foster Gillett up to?

Episode 522: Vélez still winless and Boca's Libertadores campaign begins with defeat

This week Sam, English Dan, Andrés and Chris begin with a look at Boca Juniors' elimination from the Copa Libertadores at the second round playoff stage by Alianza Lima, who lost 2–1 on the night but won the penalty shootout. Is Fernando Gago under pressure? Are Boca improving regardless of this setback? We also review last weekend's league action and give live reaction as Vélez Sarsfield score their first goal (and claim their first win) of 2025.

Episode 523: Boca exit the Libertadores and Vélez finally score in 2025!

This week Sam, English Dan and Andrés are joined for the first time by Fer, the sport correspondent for the Buenos Aires Herald, who tells us why champions Vélez Sarsfield have been struggling so much for the last couple of months – which is perfect timing, as they sacked Sebastián Domínguez as manager after defeat to Huracán at the weekend. Dan is in a good mood thanks to Racing's authoritative win over Botafogo in the Recopa Sudamericana, and for River Plate it's the same old song ...

Episode 524: Vélez sack Domínguez and Racing win the Recopa

This week Sam, English Dan, Santi, Andrés and Chris look back on a weekend of action that saw the two Avellaneda sides get contrasting results ahead of their big derby this weekend. River Plate actually managed to impress Andrés for once (even though their finishing was awful) and Fernando Gago managed to keep his job at Boca Juniors for another week.

Episode 525: Independiente win and Racing lose ahead of the clásico de Avellaneda

This week Sam, English Dan, Santi and Andrés review a clásico de Avellaneda that saw the spoils shared and a disappointing result for River Plate, among other league games, before turning our attention to Argentina's two upcoming World Cup qualifiers away to Uruguay on Friday and at home to Brazil on Tuesday. Will the world champions seal their spot before we next record?
