After what’s been an incredibly ridiculous 17 months since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s genuinely hard to believe that yet another Bundesliga season for Bayern Munich is upon us. Our sense of time has been warped by the amount of action we’ve seen packed so close together for the better part of the past 15 months after football and sport as a whole had been paused for approximately two months when the pandemic first started to break out en masse across the globe. Just as quickly as Germany was knocked out of the Euros by England, Julian Nagelsmann already has a full preseason under his belt as the new Bayern manager and we’re just one week away from the season opener against Borussia Monchengladbach.
With a new Bayern season comes a new season of Bavarian Podcast Works and our flagship show. We have bold ambitions for this season and we also can’t wait to start to integrate some more voices on the shows so that you all don’t get too tired of myself (Tom), Jake, and/or Chuck. We’ve been working behind the scenes on experimenting with different software to make our lives collectively easier as far as recording and editing is concerned, so we’re hoping that results in elevated audio quality and consistency for all of our listeners! We’re really looking forward to this season and being able to share it with all of you!
Season 4 Liftoff!
We’ve got a full preseason to discuss in this first flagship episode of the new season. There were winners, there were losers, and there were players that were just so/so. There have also been a few juicy transfer rumors floating about just weeks before the window officially closes, so Chuck and I had to talk about it. There was lots to unravel in this season 4 flagship liftoff!
Thank you all for your continued support of Bavarian Podcast Works and be sure to leave us feedback in the comments section or on Twitter.
Yet again, we’re providing you the best audio content by giving you a wrap-up and recap of this most recent match.
