About this episode

Conversations with Kinan Azmeh, Tom Crawford, Charles Donaldson, and John Schaefer. Transcript: I’ve learned about  the true depth of this game which is the people who play it. And in this podcast, I would like to introduce themand introduce their stories.  If you want me to describe pure moments of happiness and satisfaction, it can be yes, playing Carnegie Hall and scoring a nicely collectively built goal.There's room to be a team player, and there's room to be a solo artist. And I think in soccer you have that too.  There are a lot of people from a lot of backgrounds in that gamethat I wouldn't necessarily meet outside of that setting.  When I was younger, you worried about the cops. Now, I got to worry about someone saying, you know what? I'm going to peel away layers of your background to see if I can revoke your citizenshipand kick you out of the country.  First season of The Pickup Game ends with this show. What's your plan going forward? To concentrate The Pickup Game on these little communities and hopefully connect them all.
