  • like the athletic itself, they’ve just thrown up their hands rather than covering the NWSL

    Sakovitz specifically is essentially a tiktok personality acting like a reporter but is no more than a bad podcast host. No knowledge. No understanding. Just platitudes and social media taglines. Meg Linehan is the only one they have who does any reporting and that’s been less and less year on year. Why can’t they just take this seriously as a soccer podcast?

    Knowledgeable hosts, always informed, but also pretty entertaining. Best in class for a “regular people” women’s soccer pod IMO.

    This is a go-to to stay up to speed in the women’s game. Professional, digestible, and an easy listen. Tamera and Meg get into the nitty gritty like no one else can frankly. Jillian is such a delight, nice to see her podcasting expertise hit the Athletic. Keep em coming!

  • Great show!

    I listen to almost all the women’s soccer podcasts out there and I find this to be one of the most fair and honest shows. I love how they cover things that other pods do not. I appreciate hearing different voices and takes. But the episode on the Women’s African Cup of Nations is what inspired me to write this review. What a way to give coverage and visibility to all the great talent coming from Africa! As an Orlando Pride fan, I’ve been following the tournament so much this year because of our ... more
