Hi Rapids fans. The Rapids didn't show up for 35 minutes on Saturday. So neither did we. After that, we try to make sense of the 6-0 loss to Philadelphia and what it means for the two games this week.

Holding The High Line is an independent soccer podcast focused on the Colorado Rapids of MLS. If you like the show, please consider subscribing to us on your preferred podcatcher, giving us a review, and tell other Rapids fans about us. It helps a ton.
