Broadcaster Jessica Charman returns to the Charlotte FC Podcast with fresh insights and a new perspective from the MLS Season Pass booth. With Charlotte FC riding a historic win streak and NYCFC surging up the Eastern Conference table, Jess breaks down the tactics, key players, and storylines that make this matchup one of the most compelling of the season. From Wilfred Zaha’s impact in the attack to the rise of Idan Toklamati, from Maxi Moralez’s timeless influence to Matt Freese’s strong goalkeeping, no angle is left uncovered.

Jess also shares her personal journey—why she left the comfort of a secure role in Charlotte to bet on herself, how she earned her place calling MLS matches, and what it means to prove she belongs at the highest level of the sport.
