Customer Reviews
NC Courage Beasties
I first met Sam and Lynn at an NC Courage game. It was Harry Potter night and someone asked Sam which house she would be in and she replied, “I guess Hufflepuff bc I think highly of myself.” Meanwhile, Lynn graciously thanked us for driving from Atlanta to come see the game. Since that night, I’ve followed both of their careers and was so delighted when they started a podcast together. Although they now play on two different teams, I love having them back together once a week. I count down the days until Thursday to get my Sam and Lynn fix! Listening to them talk really makes you feel like you are sitting on Lynn’s new white couch while petting Finn and hearing the latest news in both their worlds. The best episode so far was when your moms came on and told us random stories about you both! Lol! Can’t wait until next Thursday!
Serving the best SNACKS ever!
Sam and Lynn leave me with a grin every Thursday. Love the weekly game recap, the friendship, and honesty between them. This podcast serves the best snacks into the world of women’s soccer with their insightful, humorous and refreshing questions for their guests. Don’t ever stop. Oh and congratulations Lynn on your engagement. Sam, make sure you stretch more and have a banana before swimming, less cramps.
The best podcast about women’s soccer out there
Sam and Lynn are genuinely charming and disarmingly goofy. You can tell that every guest respects the heck out of them and feels comfortable on the mic because every single interview is gold. Players consistently open up in interesting and exciting and meaningful ways, Becky Sauerbrunn, Sofia Huerta, and Megan Rapinoe especially. Getting to listen in on these player-to-player conversations is a delight and a privilege. I’m so glad I found Snacks. (Also if anyone on Team Snacks is reading this, please please please give us another round of Sam Kerr.)
