The Artful Nutmeg is the newest project by a couple of friends who share a deep love for soccer. This show explores the deeper world of soccer by examining some of the greatest stories and the lesser-known moments that have shaped the game. This podcast requires no prior knowledge of the game. Instead, this is a chance to build up appreciation for the game, its history, and the people who play for the love of it.
