- El Himno de Austin Podcast Co-Host / Editor / Producer

- Originally from El Paso, Texas, Jorge Chavez is a founding member of the El Himno de Austin Spanish podcast. A recent unfortunate supporter of Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund, he also follows his hometown El Paso Locomotive.

Conor Heffernan
- What he does on the show
- Co-Host
- A little about Conor Heffernan
- Conor Heffernan is a frequent co-host of the Austin Anthem Podcast. A native Texan and die-hard supporter of Austin FC and Chelsea, Conor spends most of his time studying Political Science at George Washington University and working and volunteering for political candidates. Like most political science majors, Conor has the ability to confidently discuss topics that he in fact has very little grasp of.
Joey Held
- What he does on the show
- Contributing Host / Advisor
- A little about Joey Held
- Joey Held is a writer and podcaster who willingly demonstrates his lack of in-depth soccer knowledge and curiosity to learn more as a contributor to the Austin Anthem podcast. He also loves helping people share their stories, so keep an eye (and ear) out for additional interviews in the future. When not writing or podcasting, Joey loves to travel, rock out with his band Burning Years, and cuddle with his pups, Franxie and Merlin.
Vince Sellers
- What he does on the show
- Music Supervisor / Composer
- A little about Vince Sellers
- Vince Sellers, a proud native Texan and Aggie that actually LOVES Austin, is the music coordinator for the podcast and is always on the lookout for new music to feature as we embrace the vibrant musical roots of the community. He also created the intro music for the pod, and produces "retro-fabulous" electronic music under the artist name Austin Apologue. Vince and his "furry children" are also fierce competitors in the local Pug dog costume contest scene.
Mark Turner
- What he does on the show
- Co-Host
- A little about Mark Turner
- Originally from England, life-long Nottingham Forest fan (though he never mentions it) Mark Turner is now a proud resident of Austin and ardent follower of the Verde, too. With experience in sports journalism, podcasting, radio, and match commentary, Mark is excited to be able to add his hopefully knowledgable and often irreverent perspective to the Austin Anthem podcast.
Josh Babetski
- What he does on the show
- Creator / Executive Producer / Editor
- A little about Josh Babetski
- Josh Babetski liked the idea of putting random supporter perspectives together to see what would happen. Turns out, some very good chemistry and interesting shows. Josh is mostly behind the scenes supporting the real talent of this operation.
