    Viola Station 88: It will get better, right?
    Oct 14 2025
    Fiorentina has arrived at the unenviable point of the season at which the only way to plumb new depths involves picking up a shovel, and the Viola are sure enough looking for the right tool. Two-thirds of your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots are here to wonder where it's all gone wrong (everywhere) and wonder if it's going to get better (lol). This one's coming out a little late due to some technical issues on the back end so we're reaching all the way back to the last couple of games these bozos played: a brief moment of sunshine against Sigma Olomouc that made the subsequent crash-and-burn at Roma all the more painful. As we, like every other fan, look around like Vincent Vega to find a scapegoat, at least we get some classic, brusque-as-hell Philadelphia descriptions from McMike; some lolMets despair from Producer Mike; and a shot at Tito's Fenian shortcomings.

  • Viola Station 87: The sight is dismal

    Viola Station 87: The sight is dismal
    Sep 25 2025
    Cinders. Ash. Dark, roiling skies. A desolate landscape strewn with rubble. This, dear listener, is where your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots reach you from. We shriek into the uncaring heavens, hoping to hear an echo that will prove that their are limits to our suffering, but our calls continue into a cold and endless universe, weakening until they vanish without ever seeing an end to the suffering. Why, yes, we are indeed recording in the aftermath of a psychically destructive defeat against Como. However did you guess? As you’d expect, we’re diving deep into what went wrong here. Whether it’s the personnel or the tactics, we’re leaving no stone unturned. Much like the season itself, we’re so upside-down that we’re changing roles mid-podcast. This time around, it’s Producer Mike who completely diverts us into a long conversation about wine pairings, which may be for the b best given that we also touched on McMike’s oddly erotic dreams while Tito blithely plows through all of it. Turns out that we were wrong with our last episode, and that’s on us. We’re very sorry.

  • Viola Station 86: Let's talk about real games, thank goodness

    Viola Station 86: Let's talk about real games, thank goodness
    Sep 4 2025
    It's taken us months of waiting and we've gotten so frustrated that McMike pulled out all his hair, but we finally have additional games to talk about. Join two-thirds of your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots (McMike's getting experimental Rogaine treatments and also moving house) to talk about the Viola in real, live games. Calcio is back. Because the transfer window industrial complex remains the single greatest driver of discourse in this accursed sport, we do have more mercato discussions, running through the arrivals of Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Tariq Lamptey and how they'll shape this team's season. The real highlight for us, though, is having actual Fiorentina games to talk about, although the Producer Mike therapy episode and Miner Talk (way less scary to write than say out loud) with Tito.
