About this podcast

In-depth FC Cincinnati coverage in audio form to supplement written content from Queen City Press publisher Laurel Pfahler, a professional journalist who covers the team full-time. The Queen City Press Podcast now features two weekly shows, including a paid subscriber-supported "Insider" show that provides exclusive access to full interviews with players and staff, the ability to submit a question for Laurel to ask of a player or coach and more. This show is hosted by the spouse team of Laurel and Eric Pfahler, a former sports writer who enjoys watching and talking soccer, and it generally publishes Mondays. As of February 2026, we have added a second weekly "preview" show to break down the upcoming weekend match, share brief clips of interviews and more. MLSSoccer.com's Tyler Snipes joins Laurel on Fridays for this ad-supported, publicly available show. These podcasts provide a unique perspective from inside the training grounds and locker room of FC Cincinnati.
