I remember my dad watching soccer (AKA football) every Saturday morning on TV, and although I appreciated the energy of the game, and I played it in school, it really didn’t appeal to me as did hockey or baseball or golf. But then again, back in those days, we didn’t have World Soccer Daily. 
What is World Soccer Daily, you ask?
WSD is a radio show created in 2002 to address the demand for “informed soccer dialogue across America.” Today it is Sirius’s top rated soccer program, with hundreds of thousands of daily listeners and almost 300K daily downloads. It’s not surprising that WSD is the nation’s most recognized resource for “daily soccer information, amusement and diversion.”
Now that sounds all well and good, but “marketing speak” really doesn’t do the show justice. Let me put it this way – this show is hilarious! – even if you don’t like soccer.
Kenny and Steven
Hosts Steven Cohen and Kenny Hassan are certainly well versed in all things soccer, but it’s their personalities that really make this show sing. These guys are funny!
So why am I telling you all this? And what has this got to do with PressDisplay?
Well, Steven and Kenny discovered PressDisplay.com a while ago and they love it. They use it all the time to prepare for their broadcasts and they recently approached us about wanting to share it with their listeners. And I am happy to say that this week, PressDisplay made its debut on WSD and it was a big hit.
Registrations have been pouring in and so are comments like these:
“Hey Steven, I’ve checked out that PressDisplay site and I have to tell you it is awesome. I’m not sure if it will be for everyone, but my family comes from Italy and I am always on Sky Italia’s website reading basic stories, and occasionally I will check out the sites of some of the Italian papers, none of those can compare to this (so far) 
This is an excellent site. I talk to my cousins and uncles who are still living in Italy, on a regular basis, and the feeling that I get from them and we all get here from reading certain articles, about the reputation the Italian media has when it comes to football is really captured by this site. This site really does make you feel like these are your own newspapers you are reading, just by making them available. I have read in Italian only so far, but if the translation is even decent, Americans will pick up that same feeling very quickly. Awesome site, great job hooking up with them. I’m sure you’ll get a bunch of fools to call or email you that the site is rubbish and you can get excerpts of those papers on websites all over, well…….screw ‘em! The site is fantastic!
“I want to thank you guys so much for bringing us PressDisplay…or maybe I should thank Derek Rae? I was listening to the podcast on the way to my night job and totally forgot all about the new sponsor so when I heard about it, I couldn’t wait to come home and give it a try. Man I’ve been catching up on all of my favourite teams, Club America, Barca, and Napoli. It’s greatly informative but more importantly, I love how it’s still in newspaper layout! Thanks bunches, WSD!”
“PressDisplay is simply the best thing since Steven donned the Shankly shirt on national television. I quickly registered and haven’t started my day since without reading all the London dailies as well as the other UK newspapers for all the skewed insight and biased analysis of Football in England. In just two days I will embark on the trip of a lifetime for me and I need to be apprised on all current events in the UK so I can be conversant. PressDisplay is my Bible for these purposes. Without boring you with too many details, I will experience what I have coined the quadruple for football supporters. I will in just a seven day period, watch football in all four major football leagues in England. I will on March 7th, watch League Two football at Fitness First Stadium in Bournemouth to watch AFC Bournemouth vs. Port Vale, head up to Livepool on Sunday, Monday give a talk to the youth team at Kirkby, Tuesday Champions League Football at Anfield[I realize this isn't technically EPL but since Liverpool are in the league, I'm counting it], Wednesday League One , Tranmere Rovers vs. Leicester City at Prenton Park, and finally on Saturday next the Championship, Wolves vs. Charlton at Molineux. Unbelievable opportunity for me and thanks to PressDisplay I can be conversant with my mates in England by time I get there.”
Well, looks like we have some pretty happy soccer fans at PressDisplay! And here’s one that is even happier. Dan from Santa Cruz just won a 1 year personal unlimited subscription to PressDisplay.com by answering today’s trivia question on WSD.
We’ll announce new winners every week, so why not listen in to Steven and Kenny, have a few laughs, phone in to talk to them and try your luck at their trivia question. To learn more about how to listen in or download their podcasts, visit their website.
I’m listening to Monday’s show right now, before I tune into the live show at 10 AM PST.
I love my job!

Well, the municipality of Hardenberg (Overijssel, the Netherlands) seems to think so. Starting Jun 22nd, 15 of their council members are issued with an iRex Digital Reader reader as a test to see if eReaders could reduce the paper flow required to prepare for council meetings. If this trial proves successful, the municipality of Hardenberg plans to fully switch to paperless meetings by April 2010. It will be the first Dutch city to completely shift to digital delivery of documents.
