How to listen to podcasts: everything you need to know

On today’s pod: Mark Parsons and Megan Swanick join to give you the full lowdown on what’s to come in the forthcoming NWSL season. Who to look out for, and who their favourites are to win. The panel also asks: how does the draft system work and how do teams successfully navigate it?

Also, the panel discuss the ‘expansion teams’ as two new clubs join the league, Bay FC and Utah Royals. Plus they assess the commercial viability of the league and deliver a team-by-team analysis of all their chances going into the season.

Oh, and while you’re here, you may want to read the latest edition of Moving the Goalposts.
