The Women\u2019s World Cup kicked off this earlier week, so let\u2019s look at some podcasts that will be covering the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the latest on the tournament, The Athletic Women\u2019s Football Podcast<\/strong><\/a> has just launched a World Cup edition, fronted by Michelle Owen and The Athletic\u2019s own reporters. There\u2019s also The Guardian Women\u2019s Football Weekly<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>hosted by The Guardian\u2019s football writer Suzy Wrack and sports broadcaster Faye Carruthers. Carruthers is clearly going to have a busy few weeks, as she\u2019s also on The Women\u2019s Football Show Podcast<\/strong><\/a> by TalkSport. And there\u2019s Football Daily<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>by Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Jill Scott\u2019s Coffee Club<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>you can hear interviews with well known football players and athletes, including Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman and Dame Kelly Holmes. And there\u2019s After The Whistle: An Unofficial World Cup Show<\/strong><\/a>, fronted by Rebecca Lowe and Brendan Hunt (from Ted Lasso!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also recommend the podcast Quite Unsuitable for Females<\/strong><\/a>. Women\u2019s football was banned in 1921, with an FA directive saying that \u201cthe game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.<\/em>\u201d It was only in 1971 that the ban was lifted. This podcast, from the National Football Museum, looks at the pioneers and how the sport got to where it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
