The Total Soccer Show is a radio program and podcast about football, produced in Richmond, Virginia, and broadcast locally on public radio station WRIR-LP. The first show was broadcast in August 2009.

The show is also available as a podcast, and has been part of the North American Soccer Network since December 2012.

According to Daryl Grove, the Show was named Total Soccer Show due to co-host Taylor Rockwell's love of the Total War game series.

Game of the Week
The show picks several games each week and analyzes them, as well as reporting on any and all big soccer news. In addition the show currently hosts the largest scouting database of the United States Soccer Federation. It is rumored that the USSF regularly listens in to the podcast for their scouting reports in lieu of doing any work of their own. Other national soccer federations have also been known to listen to their informative, in depth World Cup group previews as a way of preparing for upcoming World Cup group stages. Daryl and Taylor have also been credited with the landmark finding: "things can in fact be two things, and not necessarily one thing".
