Relieve those international break blues with a new podcast episode

It’s a Tuesday evening so it’s time for a new Viola Station. No McMike today, so it’s just Producer Mike and Tito to run through the doldrums of the international break. First and foremost, your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots discuss their shock and grief at the untimely passing of Viola president Joe Barone last week. There’s obviously nothing about this we can spin into humor or even lightheartedness. It’s just heartbreaking.
Our next topic of discussion was the international friendlies that a number of Fiorentina players popped up in; there wasn’t much to report, so we instead focused on some guys who may have deserved a call (paging Luca Ranieri). We then shifted to this upcoming summer, which sounds like it’ll be as topsy-turvy as ever for this team, what with Vincenzo Italiano on his way out and Arthur Melo unlikely to be redeemed. Along the way, we learn that McMike’s absence doesn’t protect him from strays, that Hines finally betrays his lack of American patriotism, and that Tito has a surprise candidate for next year’s manager. Big thank you to the folks at Sport Social Media Network for hosting the pod, and big thank you to Windchime Weather for the music. Finally, a big thank you to you for listening. Forza Viola!
