One Head is Better than Three
Welcome in ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to RFK Refugees Podcast.
Ted and Jon review two wins for DC United the Spirit. Both teams put together different but equally impressive wins on the road. Benteke and DC dominated Atlanta United, and the Spirit saw at a tough 2-1 win against Louisville.

Customer Reviews
The Only Podcast for D.C. United MLS Fans
D.C. United is NOT an easy team to be a fan of (the ups, the downs, the bizarre coaching hires), but the boys at RFK Refugees will help you laugh, cry, and explain everything the team throws at you. It’s a seriously thoughtful listen - they’ve got a great handle on roster rules, tactics, and the league’s history - without devolving into either blind “homerism” or negativity. Give them a spin!
Please do not have the guest podcaster on ever again
Your guest podcaster in today's episode literally was putting me to sleep. Please have someone with more energy. Thanks.
Great Podcast
Always up to date, interesting, and entertaining discussion of DC United and the Washington Spirt. Great Analysis and conversation.
