In this episode we get to speak to Kartik Krishnaiyer, a writer and host at World Soccer Talk (www.worldsoccertalk.com) and former Director of Communications and Public Relations for the NASL.  When he’s not writing about politics or cheering for Man City, you can find him on Twitter (@kkfla737)

Kartik will talk about the romance that is the Premier League – Barclays or English – however you want to call it.  We’ll ask him about where the English game (and leagues) are headed, what financial fair play REALLY means, and what analogues, if any, we can see between how the sport grew and developed over time in Britain and how it’s blooming now in the United States.

Join hosts Stephen Heiner, Per Lahti, David Avery, and Ryan Shea Hourigan as we spend some time discussing these issues with Kartik.  We will also take questions on twitter (@TBeautifulGame).

Season 1 of The Beautiful Game will feature 6 special episodes focusing on one aspect of our show.  This is episode 2 of that series.

The Beautiful Game is a soccer podcast devoted to educating the newest fans of the world’s most popular sport.  We cover the latest news in UEFA Champions League, Barclays Premier League, Major League Soccer, and World Cup.  We believe you can understand where you are and where you are going if you understand where you came from, so we also feature interviews with soccer writers and journalists to give a broader historical perspective to current news.  We will also periodically review rules and regulations so the newer listener can bring a greater context to enjoying our favorite sport.
