We are back with another episode, and this time it’s a special edition in honour of the beginning of the 25th season of the MLS, where we spend the first half speaking to Henry Hewitt (@Henry_Hewitt), producer of @TotalAccessShow and presenter of podcast @MLSUKShow. In the second half we speak to Brian White (@_BrianWhite42), former Duke Soccer Alum and current NY Red Bulls forward. 

We discussed all things football with both guests. Henry gave his insight on the progress of the MLS as a league, its potential, and how we should view it, as well as what teams and players to look out for this season, and the challenges of creating a successful soccer franchise. 
Brian candidly spoke with us about college soccer in America with its pros and cons compared to the European academy system, the pathway from college soccer to the MLS, his experiences establishing himself as a player in the MLS, and where he wants to see the league in the future. 

Brian has played soccer at virtually every level in America. Beginning with academy football for PDA before playing college soccer for 4 years at Duke University. During his summers at college Brian played with the NY Red Bulls u23 team in the PDL. Following graduation, Brian was drafted number 16 overall in the MLS 2018 draft by NY Red Bulls, where he then played for their 2nd team in the USL for 1 season, scoring 11 goals, before earning a contract with the first team. His debut season in the MLS with the Red Bulls saw him score 9 goals. He was recently rewarded with a long term contract extension with the Red Bulls.
