AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: The video published above is KVUE's Austin FC special, "Austin FC: The First Season." You can watch the VerdeVUE Pod in the YouTube video below.

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 below-average singing.

Episodes of VerdeVUE Pod will post to KVUE's YouTube page on Fridays. 

In episode 4, Austin FC goalkeeper Brad Stuver joins Senior Digital Sports Producer Paul Livengood, KVUE Cultural Reporter Brittany Flowers and KVUE Sports Reporter/Anchor Jake Garcia to talk about bringing professional women's soccer to Austin, "The Laundry Project" he does in the community with his wife, bouncing back from a loss, and, finally, his love for Harry Potter. Oh ... and he wears his socks backward.
