A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is the perfect balance between informative and casual talk that makes being an LAFC fan approachable. What I really appreciate about the podcast is that it makes being a fan of LAFC fun and light compared to the other soccer podcasts I listen to. I feel HAFO SAFO sets the standard for team specific podcasts because it’s the perfect amount of banter, inside jokes and fandom and it really is a community that welcomes people to black and gold.

LargoReview · Jun 2025

HaFoSaFo is the podcast for everyone — die hard fans of of the sometimes-best team in the 12th best soccer league in the world, MLS casuals, tactics and transfer nerds, or maybe just someone who enjoys jokes about of a 5’ 3” literal clown from Spain. The timing, production quality, and writing are top notch, and even 80% of the listener call-ins are great to listen to. Love you, byeeee.

David.L · Jan 2025

This podcast has such a positive vibe. It is hands down the best MLS podcast out there. The audio quality is always great, content and structure is always on point and it’s always fun and interesting. Darren, Vince and Travis are incredible hosts- they are very funny, well informed, genuine, authentic and silly. I love this podcast because it’s informative and captivating and it truly enhances my LAFC fan experience. This podcast is a must listen- if you’re an LAFC fan you should be a Happy Foot Sad Foot fan too!

Miss Bones ☠️ · Jan 2025

My favorite fan-produced LAFC content. An excellent mix of analysis and humor. You can tell they truly care about the team. They also don’t take themselves seriously. It feels as though you’re talking about the game with well-informed friends. Love the show, guys. Keep up the good work!
