    Led by the remarkable Flo, this podcast is excellent for anyone with an interest in women’s football. Particularly as someone who is relatively new to following women’s football, Flo and friends are great at presenting the facts, and their opinions, around what is happening in the current state of the women’s game. Highly recommend!
