Austin FC and Austin-based KUT and KUTX Studios announced today their collaboration on the ¡Vamos Verde! podcast, a new biweekly podcast celebrating the intersection of soccer and culture in Austin. You can hear the trailer on kut.org/vamosverde or your favorite podcast platform.
“We’re excited to launch this collaboration with KUT and KUTX,” said Austin FC President Andy Loughnane. “This new podcast will give listeners an opportunity to get to know our players, coaches, and leaders away from the soccer field.”
Hosted by KUT 90.5’s Jimmy Maas and Juan Garcia, guests will include Austin FC players, staff, and leadership, as well as musicians, artists, fans, and more. The first episode will release on all streaming platforms on Feb. 29, with new episodes dropping every other Thursday.
In addition to the podcast, Austin FC players will take part in My KUTX Guest DJ sets on KUTX 98.9 and excerpts from the season will run on KUT throughout the year.
"We're excited to be launching this podcast because it will touch on so many of the things that make Austin special - the music, the energy, and the characters, this time focused around Austin FC," said Debbie Hiott, General Manager of KUT & KUTX. "So even as our newsroom continues to provide strong news coverage of the Club, the podcast will let us explore the rich culture around soccer in our community.”
