“Covering Women’s Soccer” with Senior Writer for The Athletic Meg Linehan | Episode 12

Tobin and Christen welcome one of the most impactful writers in sports, and the women’s game, Meg Linehan. In this episode, they discuss Christen’s past few months getting back on the pitch and the trademark goal she scored this past weekend. What were some of the unexpected things she experienced in her return to the pitch this season and what are some changes in how she views her role in the sport at this stage in her career? Then, they sit down with senior writer for The Athletic, Meg Linehan, for an insightful conversation on her position as a leading voice covering the USWNT and the NWSL. In their conversation they discuss her introduction to journalism covering an indie band, how the 99ers inspired her, her love of the community in the women’s game and the powerful article that she wrote in 2021 which changed the league forever. Plus, a Money Matters conversation about Meg’s financial advice to future journalists brought to you by @Ally and of course, Community Questions!
