"Emergency podcast! Verde did a thing so we gotta talk about it!" The official podcast of Verde All Day, with Phil West and various members of the Austin FC Media Universe.
10 Episodes
Reverse
In a special bonus mailbag edition, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán cover the Bukari and Desler signings in some detail, revisit the fun Miguel Borja rumors from this past January, predict how Rodolfo Borrell will celebrate once the roster's been scrubbed of Claudio Reyna contracts, and get into the feelings of being a soccer fan. (Note: This was recorded on Monday afternoon, and finally polished to a fine podcast gem on Wednesday morning.)
In an international break in which you may have already forgotten about the heady rush of the official green smoke-aided Mikkel Desler announcement (which you already all knew about), Phil West is joined by Zac Graham of the North End Podcast to talk about how to execute a "three-beer half," Jock Jams, the Austin FC season so far, and the 9+2 theory that could lead you to some spirited starter vs. bench depth debates to keep you sated until the next episode of Denverde restarts the season on June 15. (Somehow, they didn't bring up their mutual love for Victor Wembenyama, but they did manage a bit of Best Ball talk.)
Phil West is joined by Michelle Sanchez for an Andrew Wiebe fashion report, thoughts on Austin FC's signing of Osman Bukari, the current woes of Sebastián Driussi (with three distinctly bummer-making words, "chronic groin injury"), further thoughts on Emiliano Rigoni's departure, and what Owen Wolff should do at this phase of his career.
This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss the sudden departure of designated player Emiliano Rigoni, the differing accounts of how said departure unfolded, the transfer rumors involving Osman Bukari and (hold on, let me cut and paste for these accents; there's no way I'm finding these on my keyboard otherwise) Marius Ștefănescu, and the actual emergency of just 16 healthy field players shortly before three matches in eight days.
This week, Moises Chiullan joins Phil West to talk about Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff brightening at the mere mention of Speedbump (the Austin FC armadillo), the forthcoming 2025 MLS All-Star Game in Austin, the upcoming match against Sporting Kansas City on absurdly short rest, some of what we learned about the squad after 2024's first MLSPA Christmas, and our thoughts about a really nice open letter than Austin FC sporting director Rodolfo Borrell shared with fans.
Thomas Rongen of MLS coaching and broadcasting fame (and the namesake for the newly-coined Thomas Rongen Line) sits down with Phil West and Moises Chiullan to talk about Austin FC (from a national pundit's POV), Inter Miami, the one time he went to Q2 Stadium (which wasn't for a game), some insights on coaching at a 1.32 PPG clip, and some insights about Josh Wolff.
Eric Goodman from the Austin Chronicle joins Phil West to talk about the three things that bring Austin FC head coach Josh Wolff joy in press conferences, the new outlook on the season that beating the Galaxy has brought, thoughts on whether the media was really "slaughtering" Verde in the early part of the season, and a tangent where we talk about the upcoming Olympics in Paris for a very good reason.
Jessica Luther joins Phil West to talk about Brendan Hines-Ike's new appellation, the elusive MLS truth that designated players can transform a team, an update on the kit leak emergency the two of them experienced on a podcast several months prior, and Luther's excellent forthcoming dissertation on women's basketball (and a new exciting player named Caitlin Clark you may have heard about).
In this first-ever Emergency Podcast, Colby Gordon joins Phil West to talk about soccer dreams, Austin's worrisome scoring form away from Q2, the weirdest media moment to ever come out of a match with the Dynamo, and the one time the press box openly cheered for a player. There's also some fretting about the current and future roster.
You're clamoring for another Austin FC podcast, are you not? Phil West talks briefly about what this latest podcast in the not-at-all-overstuffed Austin FC podcast universe will be (without giving too many clues). Special thanks to Wammo for the theme song (derived from the goofy theme song Phil came up with when the most recent podcast emergency was declared).
