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 more.
Austin FC forward and native Austinite, McKinze Gaines, joins the podcast this week! We chat with Gaines about how he got his shot to sign for his hometown MLS team, playing in the same youth club as teammate Kekuta Manneh and, of course, he answers our RAPID-FIRE questions!
