Hosts Judah Newby and Joe Slevin head to Timbers Media Day at Providence Park to talk with Timbers GM/president of soccer Gavin Wilkinson, head coach Giovanni Savarese and midfielders Diego Valeri and Diego Chara about the upcoming season.

Host Judah Newby welcomes Jake Zivin as co-host to the show. The duo talk with Portland Timbers 2020 MLS SuperDraft first round pick Aaron Molloy plus also hear from soccer analyst Ross Smith.

Breaking Lines is breaking format this week, but with good reason. Instead of a single one-on-one interview, there’s two, and while we normally try to get away from the game, the game has to be in focus as the Portland Thorns add the top two players on their 2020 NWSL College Draft board.

On this edition of the show, we are on the convention floor in Baltimore, Maryland, where new Thorns Sophia Smith and Morgan Weaver join us to share their first moments in professional soccer.

Host Judah Newby is joined by Richard Farley as they talk with Timbers goalkeeper Steve Clark. Soccer analyst Ross Smith visits and the show also covers the Timbers' winter moves and more.

Did Wednesday’s first piece of Portland Thorns news justify an emergency podcast? Given who the team gave up and what, in the form of next week’s first pick in the NWSL’s College Draft, the team got in return, the trade of Emily Sonnett and Caitlin Foord to the Orlando Pride certainly rises to the standard.

How you feel about the trade in undoubtedly influenced by how you feel about the 2020 draft class. To talk about that, we asked the industry standard in collegiate coverage, Top Drawer Soccer’s Travis Clark, to talk about who will likely be available next Thursday in Baltimore, Maryland, and how they fit at the NWSL level.

Breaking Lines usually tries to avoid focusing too much on what’s happening on the field, but in the aftermath of a newly signed Designated Player, it’s time to break from format and focus on the latest addition to the locker room.

That’s why Jon Arnold – Mexico specialist for Goal.com; North and Central America expert for the BBC’s World Football Fone-In; FC Dallas beat writer for the Dallas Morning News – is on the show: to tell us what type of player he saw during Yimmi Chara’s time in Mexico and what, based on Jon’s knowledge of expertise, we can expect after the Colombian’s arrival in Portland. Other reasons he’s on the show: to talk about a classic ending to Mexico’s 2019 Apertura; to make bets as to how many step-overs Chara attempts in green and gold; and to discuss the challenge of reaching an English-speaking audience with his Mexican-league coverage.

Hosts Judah Newby, Jake Zivin and Joe Sleven sit down with Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri to talk about his re-signing with the team, how he's spending the offseason and more.

Our final Breaking Lines of 2019 touches base with one of the newest coaches among the Portland Timbers and Thorns ranks, even if Miles Joseph has been with the club for well over one year, now. But from being a part of the inaugural MLS College Draft, to a member of the original New York/New Jersey MetroStars, to a staff member on one of MLS' iconic teams to somebody that helped the Timbers reach a second MLS Cup, the Portland assistant is one of the more well-traveled personalities in the league.

On this show, we start with this college days, track back to his path through his playing career, and end with his thoughts on the vocation he concedes will be with him until retirement: coaching.

Talk Timbers hosts Judah Newby, Jake Zivin, and Joe Sleven talk with Timbers defender Marco Farfan about how he juggles being a college student and a pro athlete and how he handled a frustrating injury this past season. The show also looks at news around the league and began to break down the Timbers 2020 season opener.
