• Will the new World Sevens shake up the football calendar?

  Formally announced tomorrow, World Sevens is a new women’s club football competition this May that will feature eight clubs from across the world and has a HUGE prize pot believed to be in the seven figures. Matt and Maggie look at why it's been set up, the incentives to compete, and whether fans will be interested or not. They also delve into the cross-section of toys, collectables and women’s football following Angel City's big new tie up with Tamogatchi, and answer a listener question about Manchester City women’s recent financial filing, and whether it’s going to get them into hot water over salary caps.

• All your WSL closed league questions, answered

  Last week Maggie and Matt talked about the WPL’s proposal for the top two leagues in English football to increase to 16 teams each, supported by removing relegation from the top two tiers for at least a period of four years.  In many ways, the proposals have raised more questions than they have answered - so they are on and to fill the gaps. They also look at how how much it costs to hire and fire a women’s football manager - topical as just two days ago Gareth Taylor was sacked by Manchester City - and tackle a listener question about betting’s role in football; they are all over the men’s game, but should the women’s game treat them differently?

• Are the financial arguments for a closed league fundamentally flawed?

  Without doubt the biggest story in women’s football since last week's episode has been the next step in the WPL’s motion for the top two leagues in English football to become a closed shop. So Maggie and Matt bring y9ou the inside track and the angles no-one else has talked about yet. They also look at the new NWSL documentary being launched on Amazon and explore how documentaries around women’s football both have and haven’t helped grow interest in the game, and answer a listener question about the English Football Association’s new Made for this Game campaign “to unlock equal opportunities in football for women and girls”.

• Will Goodison Park's legacy be women's football?

  Off the back of last week’s podcast, Maggie and Matt have been told by various sources that WSL team Everton are planning on building a women’s football stadium on the area where Goodison Park currently sits. So they look at why Everton would do that, and what would it look like. They also cover how the written/print media covers women’s football and whether it’s at risk of wider “reversals” of DEI commitments currently spreading through business and society, and tackle a listener question about the right ownership model in women’s football following an insightful interview last week with Mercury 13 co-CEO Victoire Reynal.

• How big should a women's football stadium be?

  How big should a women's football stadium be? Maggie and Matt are on hand to try and give you a definitive answer, off the back of recent comments from Glasgow Rangers’ head of women’s football about building an 8,000 capacity stadium. They also analyse a record deal for Gotham in the NWSL with personal care brand Dove - and explore what it indicates about the next wave of sponsors in women’s football - and tackle a "listener" question about new Euros Adidas kits.  If you're enjoying the podcast, please give us a like and a review!
