Austin FC talk from the supporter section.

The gist

The North End Podcast follows Austin FC from the supporter section outward, mixing match recaps, previews, team news, and listener questions. It is loose and familiar, but the soccer talk stays specific: scorelines, lineups, Q2 Stadium moods, second-team updates, and what the next result should mean.

About The North End Podcast

The North End Podcast is Austin FC coverage from inside the supporter mood rather than above it. It is quick, conversational, and proudly local. Zach Graham hosts, with Ian Michaud appearing as the good buddy called E, and their rhythm feels built from watching the same club, repeating the same bits, and still finding new ways to be annoyed or encouraged. The show moves through MLS weeks the way committed fans actually experience them. A home loss can open with disappointment. A scoreless draw can feel like a point earned once the opponent's lineup sinks in. A preview can carry real dislike for the visiting team before it ever reaches tactics. The soccer talk stays grounded in Austin FC details: Q2 Stadium returns, LAFC worries, L.A. Galaxy frustration, Austin team news, second-team action, and the emotional math around whether three points should be expected. It also has a strong community texture. Listener questions matter, Discord reactions matter, road trips matter, and a friend's birthday or a parking-lot read on the lineup can sit right next to match statistics. That looseness is part of the appeal. The show is not trying to sound neutral. It is trying to be honest about what it feels like to care about the Verde and Black every week. At the same time, the episodes are more than open-ended ranting. They pay attention to scorelines, shots, possession, chances, home-field context, and the consequences of recent results. The hosts can joke around, drift into sports references, talk about travel, or clean up midweek nonsense, then snap back to the match in front of them. That makes the show especially useful for Austin FC fans who already know the shorthand and want a companion for the week-to-week ride. Newer listeners may need a little time with the recurring names and jokes. The payoff is a clear sense of a supporter community thinking out loud. The North End Podcast is blunt, funny, occasionally frustrated, and deeply attached to the club it covers.

Made for: Built for Austin FC fans who want weekly Verde and Black conversation with match context, supporter jokes, listener questions, and local frustration intact. It best suits listeners already comfortable with MLS rhythms and Austin-specific shorthand.

What sets it apart: The show pairs supporter-section familiarity with concrete weekly detail, so parking-lot reactions and Discord jokes sit beside scorelines, previews, second-team notes, and Q2 Stadium stakes. It feels less like formal analysis than a standing conversation among people who watched every minute.

In their own words

Two loud mouth Austin FC season ticket holders discuss their views on the Verde & Black (and occasionally other nonsense) from their perch in Section 123.

Panic In The Discord | Ep. 299Apr 15, 2026

A sharp postmortem that keeps circling back to the match and the numbers.

A blunt post-match reset that turns anger into real defensive, lineup, and team-news talk.

A fan-driven Charlotte preview that starts loose, then lands on enough roster detail to feel useful.
