Pharmaceutical Soccer

Pharmaceutical Soccer is an independent podcast focused on Nashville Soccer Club and the city’s wider soccer community. Launched after Nashville SC’s 2018 professional season by supporters who wanted to bring the conversations of the stands and pubs to a broader audience, the show offers weekly insight that is informed, candid, and sometimes irreverent. Its hosts draw on deep experience in local supporter culture, club history, reporting, and community work, bringing perspectives from both the stands and the press box. Episodes are published every Tuesday.

The podcast is part of SixOneFive Soccer, an independent, reader-supported source founded by Ben Wright, Valair Shabilla, and Chris Ivey in partnership with the show. SixOneFive Soccer provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of Nashville’s soccer scene, including reporting on Nashville SC. The brand also offers an online store featuring Pharmaceutical Soccer merchandise. Beyond coverage and commentary, its people are connected to local soccer history and supporter organizations, and co-host Valair Shabilla founded Kickin’ It 615, a charity that works to give children access to soccer regardless of their economic circumstances or background.
