Reflecting on Past Guests and Episodes
00:00:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Over the past 100 episodes, we've had incredible guests, fiery debates and some absolute chaos. I think today is probably going to be the most chaos yet. We're going to look back at our journey, our favourite moments and what's next for the podcast and the women's game. So before we do start, if you're new here, this is the perfect place to jump in because we'll be revisiting some of our biggest topics and our best episodes. If you hear us mention an episode,
00:01:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
that you've missed, this will give you the opportunity to go back, retrieve it, find it out and have a listen. It's gonna be fun, fast, full of thick quick fire questions. And so having said that, let's get into it.
00:01:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
We will start with the bog standard question. What is everyone's favorite episode so far and why? I'm gonna go, Georgie, roughly.
00:01:35
Georgie
Guys, do you know what? The latest episode is always my favorite episode, you know? It just gets better and better. We've got better chemistry.
00:01:45
Georgie
We've got better content. We've got a better football. It's mid-season. Let's go. Just go and listen to the last one.
00:01:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love that answer. Go on Kate, what about you?
Favorite Episode Highlights
00:01:55
Cate
um I'm gonna be a bit more romantic. That was very politically correct. Well played in there, Georgie. Very very clever, very clever. I'm gonna go actually a little bit romantic and I'm gonna say it was actually my first episode with Catherine. That was episode 56. And the reason being is because um obviously I didn't know Catherine before we podcasted together and her knowledge is incredible and I think Since I started to podcast a bit more with her, she really pushed me to be more prepared, to research more, e etc. So yeah, that was a bit of a game-changing for me. That's why.
00:02:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair answer. Catherine, I'll jump to you to respond to that and give me yours.
00:02:41
Catherine
I was actually going to say the same thing, and the same one. 56 because it was my first one and I was so excited and so nervous. And and I still get really nervous and excited, but yeah, it was I was so nervous and excited.
00:02:57
Catherine
But yeah, that was my favourite.
00:02:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I love
00:02:59
Catherine
56, everyone go listen to it.
00:03:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
that. Alka, have you got one?
00:03:04
Alka
Right, deep dive into the archives, episode number seven.
Insightful Guest Episode with David Goldblatt
00:03:11
Alka
Right, how many, Georgie, your maths is 10, 10, what's 100 minus seven?
00:03:16
Georgie
Nighty free blood.
00:03:18
Alka
whoo 93 episodes ago and that is because we all know i like to yap about two things in specific and that is anything kit wise and anything transfer wise but this one is specifically about kits but also we've got loads on transfers which i think are absolutely smashing because who doesn't love a little silly opinion
00:03:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I love that. Raj, we got one?
00:03:40
Raj
Yeah, I'm going to go ah episode 98, which obviously was quite recently released. and It was first time recording an episode with a guest, of course, David Goldblatt. um I think it really brought a new perspective to recording on the podcast with a guest. And obviously he was full of um such insightful and incredible information about Copa 71.
00:04:06
Raj
ah which we've been speaking about recently on our podcasts. So yeah, really enjoyed that. And it was just really different kind of um a bit more interview-y, which I but really enjoyed.
00:04:21
Raj
I think I'm quite good at that. and So yeah.
00:04:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
I guess we try to find that balance between it being sound like a podcast and conversational and then actually sometimes it has to be like that interview star. I don't know if you just saw Rajan for the purpose of all the viewers here. Catherine, do you want to show your t-shirt again there?
00:04:38
Raj
A women's 1971 football representing.
00:04:44
Catherine
i to I should them out on Instagram, who I got them from.
00:04:44
Raj
My t-shirt says the same, but it's underneath.
00:04:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love that.
00:04:48
Raj
My hoodie.
00:04:53
Catherine
It's, if I remembered who they are, it that they're on Instagram and they design shirts like this. They did one, a fundraiser for ACL injuries as well for ACL research and sold t-shirts as well.
Copa 71 Series Discussion
00:05:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Interesting.
00:05:08
Raj
Wow, we can pop the link on our story at the end of this podcast actually, where you can find those, because that that's really cool.
00:05:10
Catherine
Yeah.
00:05:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
ran um I think for me, my favourite episode would have to be episode 84, which was the episode one of our Copa 71 series. I dunno, for me, I came away from the first episode and I think Raj might agree. Um, and you know, when you record an episode and you just know, when you come off it, you feel like you've nailed the episode. Like, you know, it was a good one. yeah phil We come off it and went like, that's a, like the most kind of fluent and flowy that a podcast has been yet. And it felt like we were really speaking from the research we've done. It felt like a good one.
00:05:50
Raj
Yeah, I enjoyed that one as well.
00:05:51
Georgie
I've got that feeling every episode, what do you say?
00:05:54
Alka
yeah
00:05:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love that.
00:05:54
Raj
up look
Funny Podcast Moments
00:05:57
Alka
Georgie feels it even for the one she's not even in. No.
00:05:59
Raj
We wish Roy would be all as good as you, Georgie, but we only felt that on one.
00:06:00
Georgie
Everyone!
00:06:02
Catherine
ah
00:06:06
Raj
We've got a lot of catching up to say, clearly.
00:06:09
Alka
Well, I've got 93 episodes because...
00:06:13
Raj
OK.
00:06:13
Alka
ah hello
00:06:14
Catherine
but no
00:06:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Okay, so to move on. What is each and every one of yours um funniest moment from memory on the podcast?
00:06:27
Cate
like ah Yeah, I can start in there. It's very short. it's I don't remember the name, ah the number of the podcasts, but actually we've done it a couple of times is when Paige opens up insisting that she's Italian and we came up with this little, when I came up with this little name for, she's got like a grandma from there.
00:06:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Kate, start with you.
00:06:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, it's fine.
00:06:47
Cate
And so sometimes when I introduce her, I call her Padina, which is the translation in Italy so in Italian. And it just makes me really laugh. That's it.
00:06:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice.
00:06:58
Alka
similar to that sorry I love it when I recall with Paige because every time she opens the camera she goes oh my lighting and so I have to just prepare myself mentally every time I recall with Paige that I'm just gonna laugh for about 30 seconds as soon as I see her
00:06:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Georgie? Go on.
00:07:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, then Alka, what about you? What was yours?
00:07:20
Alka
Ugh, I mean, they were just, they were just all so funny. Everything, every single one with me is just hilarious that I just laugh so hard. And I just can't pick one, right Georgie?
00:07:31
Raj
um
00:07:31
Georgie
Absolutely. They're all really fun, man.
00:07:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think.
00:07:36
Georgie
I think actually it's a shame that sometimes we're not recording the preamble when we're trying to get all the notes and the thoughts in order.
00:07:41
Alka
Literally.
00:07:43
Georgie
It's like, all right, strict FaceTime, let's do the part.
00:07:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:47
Georgie
It's like, ah, no, it's a good laugh all the way around.
00:07:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, to be, to be fair, I'm going to add to that because that ties very nicely into both your points. So I've got two, I can pick
First Recording Session Struggles
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
the first one. We talk about what like all the bits before and they're trying to put things together.
00:08:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was the very first podcast that we recorded on the network. There's me and Alka. but did I don't know if you can remember Alka but oh my goodness we were between us trying to figure this thing out. When I say 45 minutes into the recording session we still haven't got past five seconds.
00:08:17
Raj
Wow.
00:08:17
Alka
It must have taken us over an hour to be able to figure out how to use the platform itself because there was no instruction.
00:08:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:08:25
Alka
Obviously now it's a breeze. It's probably one of the easiest things to use on a daily. but
00:08:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was that every time we started, we'd laugh about something because we it was the first time we'd done it when I would go stay serious here. And then how good kept, I don't know how many, it was like six or seven times. Hello and welcome to, oh, I don't like it.
00:08:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got to start again. And I was trying to get that.
00:08:44
Alka
I couldn't remember what we were calling it. And so I'd like, we'd planned something to say at the beginning and I'd just mess it up each time.
00:08:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
And to be fair, my second one, which was quite funny to me, was
00:08:51
Alka
I'd be like, oh, Rico.
00:08:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't, it must have been one of the, I think it was a Copa episode where we were talking about some of the comments that were made back at that point.
00:09:07
Raj
Oh, you stole a mine.
00:09:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, the way I'm going to tell it, I, we were talking about how they said that football wasn't safe for women to play because their wounds and ovaries, right?
00:09:12
Alka
yeah
00:09:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I say, I actually had to deliberately cut to an ad break because Raj was getting so irate about it.
00:09:28
Raj
That was literally mine.
00:09:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I actually... What were you gonna say?
00:09:33
Raj
I was going to say exactly that. I just lost i lost my whole composure because I've never heard something so ridiculous as, oh it will hurt their wombs and ovaries if they play football.
00:09:45
Georgie
I don't know if you've ever watched a women's football match, there's wombs and ovaries just all over the shop, it's carnage, so...
00:09:50
Raj
They're just all over the grass everywhere.
00:09:52
Georgie
Yeah, li- honestly, just...
00:09:56
Raj
Honestly, yeah, I'm sorry, Briney to cut in there, but yeah, that that was mine as well. are You were absolutely right. I ruined that episode because I couldn't control myself because I was so flabbergasted.
00:10:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
You didn't ruin it, it was funny, it was so funny. And Catherine, have you got on?
00:10:13
Catherine
I do. I think mine is one of the first ones I did with Kate when you told me after our first one, I think you told me if I ever start to go on a rant and go on for too long, just signal to me.
00:10:26
Catherine
And there was one time, I can't remember what it was, but I was signaling and in the end I was almost going like, I was almost literally me like shouting at the screen and going, hello.
00:10:32
Raj
but
00:10:36
Catherine
yeah and you were just sta staring, you know,
Technical Glitches and Hiccups
00:10:40
Catherine
into space and just carried on and it was blah blah blah blah blah and I was just like, get it, get it!
00:10:48
Catherine
But that was, yeah, I think that was one of our very first and had the other one was just technical issues. Like, um, the first one I recorded with Nat, actually Zencaster for some reason, the intro music kept repeating.
00:11:03
Catherine
So about 10 times it was, dude, you know, it finished. And then I was going, hello and welcome to beyond the pitch. And it would go, doddleoooooooo and I get, but and so I'd stop it and then I start again.
00:11:10
Raj
yeah sofa
00:11:13
Catherine
Okay. Let's re-upload it. Let's try again. Hello. Um, oh, it's carried on again.
00:11:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Did anyone notice in the recording, I'm just alerting everyone that's going to listen to it or has listened now.
00:11:19
Raj
and
00:11:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
but In the ah the last episode of Copa with David, for some reason, I don't know if you noticed that at the time, arrived but the all of a sudden the outro button turned into like a drum.
00:11:35
Raj
really
00:11:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah good littleum chi something as I I'm just going to go with it because I recorded the whole thing now.
00:11:40
Raj
go with it I didn't even notice that. Wow.
00:11:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so I'm going to go, which last question should I go with here? If you could choose to rerecord any podcast so far, for any reason, good or bad, which one would it be and why? Do you want me to start with this one for some inspiration? I chose to go with episode 28,
00:12:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Confronting the Realities of Matchday Intimidation. So, me and Raj did an episode ah on the Kick It Out campaign um and I think for me, it was just like, we got a lot, but we did quite well on the episode kind of thing, but it was just, it doesn't matter how much you speak about something like that.
00:12:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't feel like you can ever do it enough justice for me. And we sat and spoke about it for like nearly 40 minutes on a podcast, but actually I still felt like I wasn't finished, I wasn't done.
00:12:33
Raj
Yeah.
00:12:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that would be mine.
00:12:42
Catherine
Sorry.
00:12:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Alka, have you got one that you'd want to do again? And don't say, I'd do all of them again.
00:12:48
Alka
I wouldn't do all of them again.
00:12:49
Raj
sit
00:12:50
Alka
Some of them are horror, I tell you.
00:12:51
Catherine
but the
00:12:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
good
00:12:52
Alka
I feel like there's one that I just don't, ah similar to similarly to you, I don't think was finished. ah There was one I did with Paige not too long ago. um Episode 90, Terrific Transfers and Bottomless Brunch.
00:13:07
Alka
But like both good and bad, we both ended up rambling for so long on those two topics we didn't actually manage to reach the third. And so not only like, obviously I love the whole rap, again, transfers, ding, ding, ding, my favourite thing under the sun.
00:13:21
Alka
and um I don't know if I'd really do it because I want to see ah like what me and Paige would come up with in terms of um the third topic or just because I'd absolutely love to chat about transfers again, so.
00:13:32
Raj
I'm sorry.
00:13:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, if you go on.
00:13:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Georgie.
00:13:44
Cate
I have, I have actually, sorry, I was muted.
00:13:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go now.
00:13:47
Cate
One thing to think about with the awards. and ah what My one was episode 57, actually, again, an episode with Paige and is a is an episode when we talked about ah Ida, so the shoe company and also when Lucy Bronze and Kim Little joined the PFA board.
00:14:07
Cate
I think we didn't have enough information on any of them. So now that, you know, obviously there's been a lot of investment in IDA and we can see what, you know, the two girls are starting to do with the PFA work. I would love to like redo it again, pick up again and be a bit more thorough with everything.
00:14:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I should be good one.
00:14:30
Raj
Um, yeah, I'm going to say my first ever episode that I recorded. I'm not going to tell you what number it is because I don't want you to listen to it. I, um, didn't know what I was doing. Didn't know what I was saying. I think it was with Alka and Alka.
00:14:48
Alka
Excuse me, so what, I didn't know what I was saying or doing either.
00:14:50
Raj
No, not I didn't.
00:14:50
Alka
ah
00:14:51
Raj
And Alka literally carried me, which I was just about to say, girl, but do you know what? I take it back.
00:14:57
Alka
So I'm about to name a name, I wanna find the episode so that everyone can see.
00:15:01
Raj
and no Alka carried me through the episode. I was so nervous. i was so Firstly, I don't like looking at myself on the screen and and when we record on this, um all you can see is yourself. um So that that was throwing me off.
00:15:18
Raj
um I'd never ever done anything like a podcast before um and I was just like really super nervous and I think I'd been like thinking about it for the whole week um before but um yeah I got through it.
00:15:34
Raj
clearly. um And here we are now. Obviously, there's a long way to go. It's still a brand new podcast. It's mad to think that we're 100 episodes in from that one episode.
00:15:44
Raj
I didn't ever think I'd get over that one. But yeah, I'd love to, like I said, Alka carried me through that. So thank you, girl. I really appreciate it.
00:15:53
Alka
no no no
00:15:53
Raj
But I would like to redo it um and just like believe in myself a bit more, I guess, and feel a bit more confident. But yeah, that that is probably, um that's probably my episode.
00:16:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thank you for sharing that.
00:16:11
Alka
Also, it is episode seven, by the way, already named in shame.
00:16:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is it the kits and tufts one?
00:16:14
Raj
Wow.
00:16:15
Alka
yeah
00:16:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're such a smart rocker.
00:16:20
Raj
That was mean.
00:16:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know what? On that note, we are going to cut into an ad break really quickly.
00:16:30

00:16:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
What would each of us say has been the biggest shift or moment in women's football since we first started the podcast? Go on Kate.
00:17:05
Cate
I have one. The best one for me is the reintroduction of alcohol in the championship games.
Changes in Women's Football Culture
00:17:11
Cate
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I'm so i'm sorry, but it's a game changer. And I'm not just because I enjoy having a drink while I watch the game. Like I do, I wrote big games, et cetera. Or I just think it is something that we've been missing for a long time. That it was not caused by women fans going to watch women games, but we had to kind of like suffer here, if that makes sense.
00:17:35
Cate
And I would like us to teach a lesson to everybody who's saying, actually, we go and watch football games, we drink alcohol and we are fine and we go home and we are fine. So yeah, I'm um'm very, very excited about that.
00:17:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I like that.
00:17:46
Raj
Yeah fair enough.
00:17:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think for me, I think the recent um scrapping of the default search on Google like Alka and um Catherine were talking about the other day is really, really big. and kaf um sorry Alka made a really good point on that podcast, which I put in the clip, around how actually the potential this has for men or anyone to be more to just click over the tab and just start Following keeping up with the women's schools as well.
00:18:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
I really like that.
00:18:17
Alka
I think mine, the being able to then view all the games on YouTube now, the accessibility, that is definitely one that is skyrocketed.
00:18:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Go on.
00:18:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:18:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it's interesting because we spoke about that right at the beginning of the first couple of episodes and we've now since seen it actually happen.
00:18:33
Alka
Yeah.
00:18:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's been executed and it wasn't just talk.
00:18:37
Alka
Especially for the championship, because I feel like that needs more growth. The WSL has done bits in the last year, but the championship is where it's at now.
00:18:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:18:44
Alka
so
00:18:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
100% Georgie, have you got on?
00:18:49
Georgie
Yeah, I think just like the, the growth and the visibility of the game, like, like physically. So if we're talking about, I think there's been like 30 pitches named after lionesses players and Brighton and Hove are the first ones to have like a custom made stadium built for them, for for the women's teams specifically. I think just like the the physical literal building of women's football and pitches and facilities is, is probably one of the biggest things I've seen.
00:19:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Amazing, go on Catherine.
00:19:19
Catherine
I was just going to say the fact that we're here talking about it. I think there's been a massive growth in kind of people talking about it, doing podcasts, kind of um websites where people are talking about women's football.
00:19:31
Catherine
It's really a massive conversation now, which is really good.
00:19:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we got to a hundred episodes about women's football. Like there was a hundred episodes worth of content in women's football to talk about.
00:19:41
Alka
Amen.
00:19:41
Catherine
And we always struggle to keep it to 30 minutes.
00:19:42
Alka
oh
00:19:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
And what? I don't know. We do, we literally do.
00:19:46
Raj
i Yeah, um I think...
00:19:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Raj, have you got anything?
00:19:51
Raj
um myself and Alco covered a
Advancements in Women's Football
00:19:55
Raj
pod about it. I think um I really love that AC Milan um became the first club to introduce a proper ah maternity um contract to their players and guarantee them a year's contract and help with ah maternity costs and make them feel a little bit more protected and and that like not having and and not like having a baby is the end of their footballing career.
00:20:23
Raj
and I think that's absolutely fantastic. and Was it me?
00:20:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I remember speaking about that with someone on the podcast. Did I cover that with someone? Might have been.
00:20:33
Raj
imagine them i think i think Yeah, yeah sorry it's right it must be me needs be me new yeah
00:20:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
I remember speaking about motherhood and about taking time out of careers and wasn't that this way? no i
00:20:40
Raj
and yeah absolutely love that. and something that should have been bought in way earlier and should be rolled across boat courses every female football club automatically because having it starting a family and wanting to start a family shouldn't mean that it's the end of your career um just because you're a female. um So yeah, I think that's a brilliant um ah brilliant progression that we've seen.
00:21:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
100% and I think you know as a sum there collectively we've just in you know less than two or three minutes come up with six or seven different steps that we've taken just since we've been doing it so we're butre heading in the right direction really quickly before the next to add For each of us, what would be our dream guest we could ever bring on this podcast onto the
Dream Podcast Guests
00:21:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
podcast? Who would it be and why? Alka.
00:21:30
Alka
Oh, pressure. I'm not going to be basic and I know someone is about to say Lucy Brahms. um
00:21:35
Catherine
Kate.
00:21:38
Alka
ah I'd like to bring in someone from Ian Wright. Bam, buff.
00:21:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love that. Love that. Kate.
00:21:50
Cate
I would like to speak to Niki Dusa actually. um so she' is of She's the CEO of the WPPL, so the new co. and yeah i mean i'd I'd love for her to come on the port and speak to us about everything that she worked on, how did she came up with all those ideas, et cetera, and where where her and the team are going to take the WSL and the championship in the next few years.
00:22:19
Cate
Because I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg of what her and the team will do.
00:22:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brilliant. Bro, love that. Georgie.
00:22:29
Georgie
I've always wanted to pick the brains of Hope Powell, to be honest with you.
00:22:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Georgie's connections jumped out there.
00:22:33
Georgie
just
00:22:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Catherine, have you got one while we wait?
00:22:36
Catherine
Yeah, I was thinking of, ah is it Michelle Kang, the owner of London City Lionesses and other clubs?
00:22:44
Raj
Cool.
00:22:44
Catherine
I was thinking bringing business in football ball and where she sees that going ah would be really interesting.
00:22:46
Raj
Yeah.
00:22:51
Catherine
Apart from that, the usual ones. I i really love international football. It's kind of my favourite. So all the national team coaches, just all of them.
00:23:02
Alka
everything one bit counts it like this.
00:23:03
Catherine
All in one room.
00:23:03
Raj
all of them
00:23:05
Alka
Fair enough.
00:23:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, sure.
00:23:10
Raj
There's loads um of guests that I'd love to come on. I think like Mia Hamm would be pretty cool.
00:23:22
Raj
I've always idolised her, but I also think Marta as well. like I just love like to hear
00:23:26
Catherine
Mm hmm.
00:23:30
Raj
what she has to say about football. I just think she's a really cool girl. um And David Beckham, just because I love him. But yeah.
00:23:40
Alka
I play.
00:23:42
Raj
yeah
00:23:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah I think for me, it's someone I'd really like to get on. I don't think it's totally out of my reach to convince them. um And I'm about to break Catherine's heart with this one because I think she's spoken about her before. Someone I have got a personal contact with in Carla Ward.
00:24:02
Raj
we killed
00:24:03
Catherine
He follows me on blue sky.
00:24:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
She's noticed You know, she should be someone really good to speak to and like through the powerhouse project and that like we did the coach retreat last year and she was ah the educator on there with the 10 of us and we got to know her really well and she's a really nice person.
00:24:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like she's so genuinely invested in women growing particularly in coaching roles and she's always kind of said like when we need anything reach out and I'm sure a bit digging and I could get her to come on the pod.
00:24:27
Raj
It's pretty cool.
00:24:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I really do. I don't think it'd be impossible and I think Catherine's gonna bite my hand off to come on that one.
00:24:37
Catherine
Yeah. Well, because I'm still upset that she didn't come to Scotland.
00:24:38
Raj
that
00:24:43
Alka
ah
00:24:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
And a mass, that is a massive appointment violin. That's huge.
00:24:46
Catherine
Yeah.
00:24:47
Alka
Yeah.
00:24:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Huge. Okay. We're going to quickly jump onto the ad break. Oh, go on. Okay. We got something to add.
00:24:54
Cate
Yeah, on the note there, I wanted to say, I don't think any of the guests that we said are really unrealistic. Maybe unrealistic a little bit now, but I don't think so. I think they're all people that are quite available and interested.
00:25:06
Cate
And even to your side, Rags, I mean, David Beckham just came out and said, the girls need more time, more boys, more of episode.
00:25:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did.
00:25:13
Raj
He did, he did, yes.
00:25:15
Cate
He might want to come to the only female, only like you know, non-professional all because none of us is really a professional podcast to do exactly what he said he's doing.
00:25:20
Raj
Yeah, that's a good show.
00:25:26
Cate
So I think it's very achievable.
00:25:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Damn, I should have asked Wayne that question and it got him to put me in touch and now...
00:25:31
Raj
I'm going to send Beckham an email after this.
00:25:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Good luck finding his email!
00:25:35
Alka
ah but and I that I don't want to eat that.
00:25:35
Raj
I'm in there.
00:25:37
Catherine
ah You have David Beckham's email address?
00:25:39
Raj
I've got his number name. Do you want it?
00:25:42
Catherine
Yeah!
00:25:42
Georgie
Number seven.
00:25:42
Catherine
but
00:25:47
Raj
by at
00:25:47

Podcast Memory Quiz
00:26:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're going to start off with a Beyond the Pitch 100th episode quiz to see how much you can all remember about our time here so far, or a few squinting faces there. And then we're going to go into our little Beyond the Pitch Fun Award categories that we've been voting for. okay So has everyone either got a pen or paper, a small whiteboard? Are you okay, Katherine?
00:26:42
Catherine
Yeah, I just want to say, can I have a disclaimer? I only joined in episode 56, so keep that in mind, everyone.
00:26:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. We'll keep that in mind.
00:26:49
Catherine
I have- I have listened to quite a few of the older ones, but not every single episode, so just bear that in mind.
00:26:50
Alka
ah
00:26:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
her What we'll do is I'll ask each question. If you've got either a whiteboard or a piece of paper, write it on. And then when I go show, you're going to show it to the camera out so I can see there's no change in your answers. You competitive beans.
00:27:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:27:07
Raj
Okay.
00:27:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are we ready?
00:27:09
Alka
good answers here. I'll say that for a fact.
00:27:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
So again,
00:27:13
Alka
We're gonna have some good answers here.
00:27:15
Cate
How many questions do we have? Sorry.
00:27:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
We have 12 questions.
00:27:19
Cate
12. Oh, wow. OK.
00:27:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
12 or 13, okay. Caitlin, are you writing down like the most minuscule thing I'm never going to be able to see on the camera?
00:27:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Okay. Question one. What is our most listened to episode to date? So it doesn't have to be the episode number or name, but if you can, and if you can remember that, great.
00:27:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
But if you just give me the context of what it was about, or what the theme of it was, and if you can give me the two podcasters on it, it's even more points. um um Hang on, hang on, wait a minute, wait a minute, put it down. Or I show everyone your answers, Kate.
00:27:55
Cate
I don't think anyone can read my handwriting anyway.
00:27:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, you got 10 seconds to think your answers. Don't show me yet, because you'll be showing each other your answers if other people haven't answered.
00:28:08
Cate
All right.
00:28:08
Raj
Alka's gonna copy you.
00:28:10
Cate
I think we're done. Let's do it.
00:28:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ready? Okay. Three, two, one, go.
00:28:19
Cate
The first one. No. I think it's it's the one with the women violence that you were talking about, the assault of the woman, et cetera.
00:28:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, right. So Kate, you get a point for that. Raj, you get a point for that. Alka, you do not get a point for that.
00:28:37
Alka
No, I wasn't wrong.
00:28:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, but I want you to expand on that. Why?
00:28:41
Alka
I haven't got time for that.
00:28:42
Raj
ah why
00:28:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Something very sarcastic on her um my screen there.
00:28:46
Raj
but
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
What? No, no, no. Just to buy your answer.
00:28:50
Alka
I said the one with Brian in. Because we had this conversation during our meeting the other day. I not came up because we had this conversation and I said, how do I get, how can I check the views?
00:29:06
Alka
And you're like, oh, through Zencaster.
00:29:07
Raj
Alco, what did you write?
00:29:07
Alka
And someone goes, oh, what's the most viewed one? And then you said it, but I couldn't remember.
00:29:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Did I?
00:29:10
Raj
Alco, what did you write?
00:29:11
Alka
So yeah.
00:29:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Okay. Right. Kate, Raj, that's your point.
00:29:14
Alka
I feel very attacked right now. I don't know if I want to play.
00:29:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I feel attacked right now. We're going to have the most fiery debate on this podcast, aren't we?
00:29:20
Alka
Let's go.
00:29:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Okay. Next question. What date did we air our first episode of the podcast? Sorry, Catherine.
00:29:30
Raj
gentlemen
00:29:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're just going to have to like, see, this will be a bit of education for you.
00:29:35
Catherine
I do remember looking back...
00:29:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
But catching up.
00:29:37
Cate
Day to month.
00:29:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Date and month, so that mm-mm of mm-mm.
00:29:41
Cate
I mean, month I remember, day I don't remember.
00:29:42
Catherine
Can I just do the month because...
00:29:43
Raj
Yes.
00:29:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you can do the month.
00:29:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And if you can, if the bonus point, if you can remember who did it.
00:29:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Some really confused faces in the house.
00:29:57
Raj
One of me.
00:30:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, ready?
00:30:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go show me your answers.
00:30:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know what? Alka is bang on.
00:30:16
Alka
Shut up!
00:30:17
Raj
oneka Oh
00:30:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, you're not bang on!
00:30:18
Alka
But I told you why, it's because it was my mum's birthday the next day and we was on holiday, so, aha!
00:30:22
Catherine
Oh, do I get one for that?
00:30:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, that is two points for that one for you, Alka.
00:30:28
Raj
Fair play.
00:30:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Raj, what did you put?
00:30:30
Raj
20 available, best.
00:30:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:30:34
Catherine
I put September, Alka and Briany.
00:30:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
You get one point for who it was, but not for the month.
00:30:38
Catherine
Whoo.
00:30:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:30:40
Catherine
Oh.
00:30:41
Cate
I only put August 2024, because I don't remember what day in August it was.
00:30:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, third play, I'll give you that. That was, I think a bit jammy, but that's fair.
00:30:52
Alka
Excuse me. I'm not playing anymore.
00:30:54
Raj
Shots flying.
00:30:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:30:56
Raj
and ah I didn't get a point.
00:30:57
Alka
I don't want to play.
00:30:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. Question three. So this is a third.
00:31:00
Cate
But what is the date?
00:31:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was the sixth of August.
00:31:04
Cate
OK, but I put August 2024, because I don't have a point half a point for that.
00:31:05
Georgie
I was one day out, man.
00:31:09
Alka
I don't get a point.
00:31:11
Georgie
Do I get a point for one day out?
00:31:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nope.
00:31:12
Cate
Oh, I haven't realized. OK, fine.
00:31:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. This question, it is a third, second and first. It's not competition, but just more, can you maybe gauge some stats here? Which individual has appeared on the most episodes of the podcast?
00:31:14
Alka
Catherine.
00:31:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Third, second and first. And I've got the stats of exactly how many the third, second and third have been in as well.
00:31:31
Cate
Wow.
00:31:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just have a guess. Have a think. It'll be interesting. I was really, and I felt really interested in.
00:31:37
Catherine
ah What was the question?
00:31:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's funny?
00:31:44
Alka
Sorry, I was trying to tell Catherine that VARs ruled out the United squad.
00:31:44
Catherine
to
00:31:47
Alka
None of us was looking at the question.
00:31:48
Catherine
whoa
00:31:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:31:48
Raj
Richard Cane!
00:31:50
Catherine
Oh, I thought you were just talking to me ah about something.
00:31:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Which podcasters have featured in the, which individuals featured in the most episodes, third, second and first, I've got the stats of exactly how many each individual's been in.
00:32:03
Cate
How did you get the stats?
00:32:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah It took me a long time, I literally just went through Spotify looking in the descriptions and counting them.
00:32:10
Cate
Oh.
00:32:11
Raj
Wow!
00:32:11
Alka
Oh.
00:32:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wise, I put time into this episode.
00:32:12
Georgie
That is commitment.
00:32:14
Cate
So you don't have the stats.
00:32:14
Alka
Are we doing it in order?
00:32:15
Georgie
Strong commitment.
00:32:16
Cate
You found the stats.
00:32:17
Raj
My second and third Alka.
00:32:19
Alka
Yes, I'm ranking them. Okay, I'll put a little.
00:32:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:32:21
Raj
Yum!
00:32:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. Are we new there?
00:32:25
Cate
Yeah.
00:32:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. um What I will do is I'll read them out and then if anyone's aligned.
00:32:31
Cate
Yeah.
00:32:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
In third was Bryony with 27 episodes.
00:32:36
Cate
Yes!
00:32:37
Catherine
Yes, yeah I
00:32:37
Raj
oh
00:32:38
Alka
I'll put it in first.
00:32:40
Georgie
Yeah.
00:32:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
No. I'm nowhere near. And second is Alka with 33 episodes.
00:32:45
Cate
Ah!
00:32:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Catherine's got two out of two so far.
00:32:51
Catherine
Look, free bit.
00:32:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
And in first was Kate with 37 episodes.
00:32:54
Catherine
Look.
00:32:55
Alka
I've got them all down in the wrong order.
00:32:55
Cate
a
00:32:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Catherine's got them all right.
00:32:56
Cate
um
00:32:56
Catherine
Look.
00:32:57
Cate
I put, hey, look, I put Alka, me and Brioni, so I switch Alka and me.
00:32:58
Raj
No.
00:33:04
Cate
I should have appointed Liz for that.
00:33:05
Alka
I've got the the right three people, the wrong three labels.
00:33:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know what?
00:33:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
If you've got the right three people the wrong way around, you can have one point. If you've got all of them the right way, you get two.
00:33:12
Raj
Oh, I didn't hear you.
00:33:12
Catherine
But me?
00:33:12
Cate
Yeah!
00:33:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Catherine, that is impressive.
00:33:15
Alka
Catherine, that is smashing it.
00:33:15
Raj
Why do you want two of the right people?
00:33:18
Catherine
yes
00:33:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:33:18
Cate
Wow, Catherine!
00:33:19
Alka
Sorry there.
00:33:19
Catherine
what
00:33:22
Georgie
So what do you get if you get three of the right people in the wrong order?
00:33:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Catherine, that is so good. Fair play. Okay, question four. Who has recorded the most solo episodes?
00:33:30
Cate
No, okay. Okay.
00:33:30
Alka
Oh, gosh.
00:33:33
Cate
That's a hard guess. That's a very hard guess.
00:33:33
Raj
Okay.
00:33:35
Raj
Okay.
00:33:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep, that's a point Raj.
00:33:39
Raj
Hmm.
00:33:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's a point Catherine. Yep, everyone gets the point there. So if you want the stats, Catherine has done six individual episodes by herself.
00:33:46
Raj
Wow, can we do something for you?
00:33:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
And there has to be a shout out to Alka who did do an episode by herself as well.
00:33:52
Alka
I remember that because I nearly wet my pants.
00:33:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fair play, guys. Okay.
00:33:55
Alka
I was like, you know what, does there need to be one this week?
00:33:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
okay
00:33:59
Catherine
yeah
00:34:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Question five. So I need to set first and second because it was ah only worked out to be in two combinations. Which combination of podcasters have appeared together in the most episodes, if that makes sense?
00:34:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I need a first and a second.
00:34:19
Alka
Oh, this is tricky.
00:34:21
Raj
This is tricky.
00:34:27
Alka
Because the thing is, I'm thinking all the way back to the beginning as well.
00:34:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's that's what you've got to be mindful of.
00:34:32
Raj
Oh, you Alka, that's impressive.
00:34:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
You've got to be mindful of actually what people did a lot at the beginning together.
00:34:39
Alka
We've definitely been a good handful together, Raj, because we used to have face samples afterwards for about an hour. And that's what I'm trying to think of how many we did together.
00:34:47
Raj
I'm just used to watching straight in your hair like. titi
00:34:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not quite.
00:34:53
Alka
Roger, very good at the game.
00:34:53

00:39:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
You were very close. It was. Oh, interesting.

00:39:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well you didn't because you aren't on it.
00:39:32
Alka
No, okay, whoever, we've had another one then where we've spoken about this whole, but I know for a fact I'm still confused today.
00:39:32
Raj
yes sir
00:39:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
play Possibly, possibly. It was, it was Bryony, Paige and Raj. And it was Raj, it was the episode, it was the first time me and Raj had ever podcasted together because Raj thought I was a right moody so-and-o so-and-so because it was first thing in the morning and I didn't speak to her before we started recording.
00:39:43
Raj
oh
00:39:48
Raj
who is that upon
00:39:55
Raj
I was waiting to have a conversation with Bryony and she didn't say anything to me so I just started emptying my dishwasher instead.
00:39:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, next question.
00:40:00
Catherine
Okay,
00:40:02
Alka
yeah
00:40:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've been to work till two in the morning and it was like seven or eight in the morning and I was shattered.
00:40:06

00:40:08
Raj
and let you walk.

00:40:31
Alka
Oh, but was there not, were not in it?
00:40:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, it was Alka and Catherine.
00:40:36
Raj
Oh, okay.
00:40:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, who described one of the upcoming lioness games versus the USA's heartbreaking because she was going to be all the way across the other side of the pitch to Emma Hayes.
00:40:51
Cate
That has to be Catherine.
00:40:54
Cate
That has to be, not me!
00:40:54
Catherine
What?
00:40:58
Catherine
Oh, is it because I said...
00:40:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who are we thinking?
00:41:01
Cate
Catherine!
00:41:01
Alka
Who's a Chelsea fan?
00:41:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Catherine.
00:41:03
Catherine
yeah Is it because I said that if after the whole shoving incident, I said that if she tried to shove Serena, I would jump in and protect her?
00:41:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so Alka, who are you going with?
00:41:14
Alka
I wasn't going with Catherine.
00:41:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
So the answer is Kate. And Kate, you can go back and watch a preview because it's actually... Yeah, i
00:41:20
Cate
a
00:41:22
Alka
The thing is, the gestures that you were doing, Brian, I was like, oh, it's got to be Kate, and then...
00:41:22
Cate
I said that.
00:41:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah I literally asked the question, okay, Kate and Nat, before we finish, In one word, describe your feelings for the upcoming game between the lionesses and the USA.
00:41:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And you was like, heartbreaking. I'm going to be all the way across the other side of the pitch to Emma Hayes. And you were like really emotive about it.
00:41:45
Cate
Oh, sorry.
00:41:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'll send it to the group later. Okay. Final question. Which podcaster most frequently uses the phrase, we can make another whole podcast out of this?
00:41:57
Alka
All of us.
00:41:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
All of us to be fair.
00:42:04
Cate
I don't know.
00:42:04
Raj
I don't even know what that says.
00:42:05
Cate
like i or i also dot I also say it as well. I'm going to say Paige.
00:42:11
Alka
It is a page thing to say as well, you're right.
00:42:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
So my answer for this was everybody, because it seems to be the most commonly mentioned phrase across our whole podcast.
00:42:24
Raj
Okay, then.
00:42:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, that is all of the questions. Really quickly, can I point this up with honesty, please?
00:42:29
Alka
I'll be counting that last question as anyone gets a point.
00:42:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, anyone gets a point for that one.
00:42:32
Alka
Perfect.
00:42:34
Cate
I got seven points.
00:42:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Seven K, Catherine.
00:42:37

00:42:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
That is decent, that is decent. Raj?
00:42:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Minus the five?
00:42:47
Catherine
yeah
00:42:47
Raj
but
00:42:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
OK, I'm joking, I'm joking.
00:42:48
Catherine
daniel
00:42:50
Alka
I got eight as well. And I know you're not gonna believe me and I know there's some daggers coming from that United corner over there, but do you know what?
00:42:58
Raj
We still wanted to do it.
00:42:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
OK, finally, really quickly, final thing we're going to do is for everyone listening, this week we have all voted on 13 different podcast or beyond the pitch

Alka
They're gonna break your arm fighting for it.
00:47:03
