Episode notes

The MLS has never been in better health. Atlanta United averaged over 50,000 fans a game last season, the fan culture across the country is celebrated and vibrant, and the quality on pitch is higher than ever before. But we wanted to find out what happened back in 1996, the year the league launched on the back of the success of the 1994 World Cup, so we went from coast to coast to meet fans, administrators and the marquee players to give you the inside story on the birth of the fastest growing league in the world. Giant is a Spotify Original podcast in association with Mundial Magazine.
