AUSTIN, Texas — KVUE has launched "VerdeVUE Pod," the station's Austin FC podcast. We'll talk about everything: from the match highlights to previewing the next game and everything in between, such as the players' game day rituals, rapid-fire questions and appearing in TikToks.

Paul, Brittany and Jake recap the Austin FC vs. Columbus Crew match, talk with Los Verdes supporters about a Jake tweet regarding the seating situation of Crew fans and discuss the latest Austin FC signing: Moussa Djitte.
