The Whitecaps are on fire right now and are showing no signs of slowing up. Top of the MLS Western Conference, first in the Supporters Shield race, Champions Cup semi-finalists, and all while missing some key players. Their latest triumph was a 5-1 shellacking of Austin FC on Saturday. We delve into all the highs of that one, the standout performance from four-goal Brian White, and hear some postgame thoughts from Austin head coach Nico Estevez.

We also ask Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen if his start in Vancouver has exceeded all expectations, talk to Tristan Blackmon about THAT goal in Mexico City, and our feature interview is with the 'Caps rookie playing well beyond his years right now, Tate Johnson. Plus we look at MLS still considering, but delaying, a switch to a schedule more aligned to elsewhere in the world.

As the NSL kicks off its historic inaugural season this week, we chat about the league with Vancouver Rise Sporting Director Stephanie Labbe and Janine Sonis, and talk takeout food with Quinn. Plus we round up all the weekend's action in the CPL and L1BC, and music-wise Camille Schmidt continues her residency as our Album (and Artist) of the Month, Powder feature in our Britpop segment, and Generation 69 are in Wavelength.
