Humans United FC

Humans United FC is a multimedia storytelling brand committed to sharing the human experience through the lens of sport. We’re a multi-talented collective of people elevating stories of the beautiful game which often go overlooked. From the bright lights of Miami, Florida to the quiet streets of Saginaw, Michigan folks are playing soccer. Whether you’re using a makeshift or a handstitched ball, footballers come from all walks of life.

Come join host Joe Shaw as we explore some of the most interesting stories the world hasn’t heard YET. Through audio, video, photos, or articles you’ll become familiar with names like Kim Wyant and the 85ers, Jaiyah Saelua and the American Samoa World Cup Qualifying victory, names you might have overlooked but whose impact carries through today.

We invite you to unite under the banner of football, futbol, soccer, whatever you call it. Come share your stories and learn about other’s. We're all unique and the power of sport amplifies and elevates our differences, forming life-long connections.

Host

Joe Shaw

My name is Joe Shaw, my pronouns are he/him, I am a podcaster based out of the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area, and I love vintage Major League Soccer.

I received my undergrad degree in Theatre, played Varsity Ice Hockey in High School, and fell in love with soccer back when I was a ball kid for the #dallasburn at the old Cotton Bowl days in 1998.

I'm a storyteller at heart and have always wanted to tell soccer stories, specifically about unique teams or situations.

When I realized 2023 was the 25th anniversary of the Miami Fusion's inaugural MLS season, I knew the exact story I wanted to tell.

The 2001 Supporter's Shield-winning team was arguably one of the best teams this league has ever seen, and all season long, I'll be sharing the history of the Miami Fusion from those who actually lived it.
