While people have been assessing the state of things, I asked longtime guest of the podcast Pete to return and discuss the current state of Milan. On the State of Pioli, we also had a rebuttal from Katie Britt of Alabama (bet y'all didn't know she was a Milan fan.) But mostly, we discussed the recent Milan matches, Pioli's tenuous position at the club, the possibility of summer transfers and even the latest scandal to hit Milan (or at least what the media wants us to think is a scandal.)   On this Episode:  • The State of Pioli • Katie Bri ..read more

This week marked the thirteenth anniversary of the Milan Obsession Blog and the eleventh anniversary of the Milan Obsession Podcast. To help mark the occasion and help recap recent matches and discuss all things Milan, I invited Sal from the Curva Mundial Podcast back on. We took a quick trip down memory lane, talked about the amazing new fourth kits from Los Angeles streetwear company PLEASURES, then talked about recent matches and the current state of Milan, and more. The LA designed fourth kits are a sign that things are looking up. On this Episode: · History of the Milan Obsession Blog · M ..read more

The catastrophic injury crisis at the club right now is so severe that I actually recorded a podcast about it. And I honestly don't know which of those things is more shocking or distressing. However, I did not take my task lightly, I wanted to talk to someone with some expertise. So I invited David back, who is a lifelong Milan fan, but is also a brilliant physiotherapist by trade. Longtime podcast listeners will remember him well, but will also appreciate his knowledge about this specific conversation as we discuss injuries, Pioli and his staff, current management, the&nb ..read more

With Milan in the USA, I wanted to talk to someone who attended one of the friendlies, so I invited Sofia back on, since she attended Juventus-Milan with me. We caught up on the recent news, the transfers, then we talked about the earlier friendlies, as well as the team here in Los Angeles. Finally, we talked about what it was like to be in the stadium, including what it is like to be female in the stadium, even though it is 2023.   On this Episode:  • News of the Week • Primavera Transfers • First Team Transfers • Milan-Lumezzane • Milan in the USA • Real Ma ..read more

With a tumultuous June, Milan dove head first into July and the transfer window. To share his Milan Origin Story and help me recap everything that is happening at the Club, I invited fellow Los Angeles fan, Nolan for this podcast.

Milan missed out on all of their opportunities for trophies, including exiting Champions League in the semifinal against Inter. Now we have two games left to make top four and be eligible to compete next year, so I invited a new guest, Sal, of the Curva Mundial Podcast to join me and discuss all things Milan. We discussed his Milan origin story, discussed the recent matches, and then talked about how we can make Milan champions again.

The last time we met Inter, it was our worst match of the season. Now, we meet in our biggest matches of the season in the Champions League semifinals.

Sometimes things, big things, happen in life that stand in the way of getting things done. Other times, everything just converges and creates the perfect storm. The first reason is why this episode is being published literally a week late. But the second was the point of our whole discussion. Milan have faced a perfect storm this season, and we needed some good luck, as well. To that end, last week, I invited Frankie to talk about everything that has contributed to Milan's bizarre form this season. The good news that one week later, we can see that his good luck is already working...  ..read more

This podcast has somehow survived for ten years... barely. And the blog has been around even longer, for twelve years, with over 2500 posts celebrating Milan. To celebrate these shocking accomplishments, I invited two very special guests on the show, my own Massimo and Sofia. They shared their Milan origin stories, we talked about news and recent matches, and then we shared some of my proudest, most epic moments as a Milan mom. On this Episode: • Milan Origin Stories • News of the Week • Injury Update • Recent Matches • Proud Milan Mom Stories A special thanks to all of those who have been gue ..read more

Milan are finally back in the Champions League knockout round facing Tottenham on Tuesday. For this Frenemies podcast, I had the good fortune of having the legendary Spurs expert Ricky Sacks of Last Word on Spurs to help me preview the match. We found out about Ricky's background as a Spurs fan, then compared notes on our two teams to find how much Milan and Tottenham have in common in what seems to be a parallel universe. On this Episode: • Spurs Origin Story • Managers • Season to Date • Current Form • Missing Players • Predictions A very sincere thanks to Ricky Sack ..read more
