This year’s soccer schedules have already been mailed out to Torchbearer subscribers who have sent in their mailing address to claim them. If you’re a Torchbearer, you should have an email in your inbox from early this week letting you know if I need any more information from you, or if yours are already shipped.

If you’re not on the Torchbearer subscription tier yet, but want to sign up, I’ve still got some I can send your way.

Torch Talk is also posted to YouTube and the audio version is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and other podcast platforms.
