Where to start? Is it the losing streak? Is it the predictability of our last four Bundesliga losses? Is it the concern that it only gets harder from here on out? Add to that a match against Union Berlin that ended in controversy, and you have a rather long podcast from the crew. Julia, Jason, Eric, and Frankie welcome Kyle from the Union in Englisch lads to discuss the gut punch that was Friday and the fallout from the allegations of racism at the end of the match. We turn to some happier news in part two and look back at the Pokal match against Frankfurt and Bayer’s newest addition, Timothy Fosu-Mensah. Strap in.

It wasn’t the best start to the Rueckrunde, but the Neverkusen Podcast tries to put things into perspective after Leverkusen’s 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. Jason, Frankie, and Eric welcome our newest caster of pods, Julia, who helps us dissect the match and discuss Peter Bosz’s recent interview on German television. There’s a lot to be hopeful about for Bayer fans in 2021, and we’re looking forward to having a lot to cheer for this year. Auf geht’s Bayer!

Hi, what’d we miss? Everybody good? No? Well, this might not make you feel any better, but the Neverkusen Podcast returns with two new contributors from England, Jason and Frankie. We were able to record this podcast just before the Brexit transition period ended, so you can only enjoy their voices until December 31. Patrick and Eric join the lads to take a look back at a helluva (almost) half season that sees Bayer in an accustomed position in the table – it’s almost like they knew we would be podding. We dive into the matches and players that have made the first half of the season such a success and pour a little salt in effzeh’s wounds…because why not? Thanks for listening!

It’s a happy day when @Kristaldo1907 can join us to talk Bayer/Augsburg, especially when Bayer score three goals :-).

We’re back! Only three games into the season #lazy. We’re joined (for the second pod in a row!) by Ryan to talk about Bayer’s match against Hoffenheim. Not the best result, but maybe not the worst…whatever the hell that means. This pod came out about a week later than intended, but enjoy it before the next match!

Coming at you with a short but loaded podcast to discuss two of Bayer Leverkusen’s most recent signings, Kerem Demirbay and Nadiem Amiri. Lots of excitement around both of these former Hoffenheim players, one the most expensive signing, the other a steal at any price! Ryan, a loyal fan of the Sinsheim team, talks to Eric about what Bayer Leverkusen can expect from their new additions. Have a beer and have a listen.

Holy shit, we did a thing! The Neverkusen Crew, minus Patrick plus one baby, looks back at a really surprising season that resulted in a CL spot. Markus, one of our earliest guests ever (episode 19!!) is welcomed back to give us the low-down on the charity drive that he initiated at the beginning of the season…such an awesome idea! We got beer, we got babies, and we got Bayer…the killer Bs. What more do you want?

Leverkusen went into this week’s match with a snowball’s chance in Hannover, but that turns out to be a pretty good chance, actually. In a match to rival any other in terms of extreme conditions, Bayer were able to overcome a second-half comeback by H96 to squeeze out a victory in a blizzard. Our good friend Ansgar joins us to discuss Sunday’s match, consider the virtues of DollBall (are there any?), and marvel at the most ridiculous shot on goal of the year. That sound you hear is Genki Haraguchi still cursing his luck…oh, and there’s a little extra about Doll at the very end, so listen past the outro music.
