This week's episode is a continuation of last season's Behind the Shield series.

Michelle McDaniel, CEO of Crisis Connections, is being honored as a Community Hero as part of the Behind the Shield series, a partnership between Regence BlueShield and Sounders FC. The content series, profiling both Sounders players and community leaders, celebrates humans showing extraordinary grit and determination in their everyday lives.

Obed Vargas is this edition's featured player, and also joins the pod.

On this week's episode of the Sounders FC Pod-Cast, co-hosts Brad Evans and Steve Zakuani recap one of the team's best results of the season, a 3-0 home victory against Nashville SC. Brad then sits down with Boeing Champion of Change Alondra Gonzalez, youth organizer for Para Los Ninos, whose mission is "to support the success of the Latin American community by building leadership skills, celebrating diversity, promoting art expression, and cultivating lifelong curiosity" (info here). Together, Boeing and Seattle Sounders FC will help shine a light on local organizations that strengthen the communities where our employees and fans live and work.

A quick game of Over / Under and a discussion on the GOATs of professional sports rounds out this week's pod.
