How "Futbol Is Life!" Came To Be

In December 2021, Emerson College Class of 2024 friends Nat Maymudes, Ethan Cooney, and Matt Powell started talking about what it would be like to get to experience the college's radio station. They realised that they could turn their love of soccer into a radio show which Emerson College had never seen before. They pitched the show to WECB (the underground sound of Emerson College) the following semester and were thrilled to be picked up by the station. 95 episodes later, the show won an Evvy Award  (Emerson College Awards) for Outstanding Podcast in 2024 and has received 5 other EVVY nominations: Outstanding Radio Personalities (2022), Outstanding Live Audio Mix (2023 and 2024), Outstanding Radio Program (2023) and Outstanding Podcast (2024, two nominations). After graduating from Emerson College, the hosts vowed to continue the show as a podcast. The show will be around for a long time because....FUTBOL IS LIFE!
