109. LA Soccer Hub's Gio Garcia
Soccer has long thrived in Los Angeles. Whether it's pickup games, rec leagues, or the various pro teams, there's never a shortage of footy in La La Land. Helping cover the vibrant LA soccer scene is Gio Garcia, founder of LA Soccer Hub.
Mainly focusing on LA Galaxy and LAFC, Garcia can be seen on his podcast, at the various tailgates before El Trafico interviewing fans, or covering the games themselves from the press box. We sit down with him to discuss whose tailgates are better, why LAFC runs LA, and how he's dealt with the fiery fan bases' banter in the comments section of his videos.
