Portland vs. everyone

Rose City Red Card is a weekly podcast about Portland women's sports. Mostly soccer. Some basketball. One host bleeds Portland, the other is from Seattle. It gets heated. It gets loud. It gets real.

No filter

This is an adults-only show. We say what we think about the league, the refs, the coaches, and the plays. If you want polished corporate sports coverage, we're not it.

Portland first

Every episode starts with the Thorns. Providence Park is the 12th player and we never let you forget it. Plus women's basketball when there's something worth talking about.

Cascadia rivalry

Our hosts are split across the biggest rivalry in women's soccer. Portland vs. Seattle isn't just a segment, it's the DNA of the show.

Fan-first

We're fans who got a mic, not journalists who got credentials. Expect passion, opinions, and the occasional rant that goes two minutes too long.
