    Andre Carlisle: Quirky, authentic, and always podcasting

    Nothing quite like hanging out -- in podcast form -- with one your favourite women's soccer journalists, is there? Well, in the first Squad Depth of 2025, the special guest is writer and podcaster Andre Carlisle. Theo asks Andre about his football journey, from entering the world of soccer blogs to becoming a renowned podcaster, newsletter writer, and his spicy skeets. The two chat about the origin of the terrific Diaspora United podcast, the magic of good soccer metrics, and what's behind his trademark irreverent style of writing and analysis. - - - - - Alongside the podcast, check out and subscribe to the Squad Depth newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.squaddepth.com/ If you have feelings about the show leave a review or send in your feedback.

    Jill Loyden: Goalkeeping, giving back, and South Jersey

    These days, I find myself wondering what doesn't Jill Loyden do? This week, Squad Depth sat down with Loyden to get to know the former USA goalkeeper turned broadcaster, turned teacher, coach, and skill-builder, a bit better. In addition to commentating on matches for ESPN, ION, and CBS, Loyden founded the Keeper Institute in her home state of New Jersey. For the past 10 years, the place has been a hub for local soccer and national goalkeepers to develop. In the conversation, Loyden traces the highs and lows of her career. The lessons she learned along the way, and a moment of inspiration when being front row at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. - - - - - Alongside the podcast, check out and subscribe to the Squad Depth newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.squaddepth.com/ If you have feelings about the show leave a review or send in your feedback.

    Madelyn Desiano: "I get to do something that I love, despite the setbacks"

    At just 24, footballer Madelyn Desiano has experienced a lot.

Speaking to host Theo Lloyd-Hughes on the Squad Depth podcast, Desiano tells her story from Southern California to Odense, Denmark. Stories from her enthralling five years at UCLA. The trials and tribulations of her rookie season with the Houston Dash in the NWSL. And, why she is now turning to a foreign league in Northern Europe. A story of grace, maturity, ups, and downs.

    Jackie Gutierrez: Forging your own space as a footy freelancer

    We're turning our focus back off the pitch, and the people helping grow the beautiful game. So, this week the founder of Women Kick Balls, Jackie Gutierrez, hung out on the podcast to talk about her journey. Jackie is a tireless dynamo, doing just about everything one can do in the footy space. As a freelancer, she writes her own newsletter, captures her photos, publishes magazines, roasts coffee, and provides stories for Forbes and other outlets. On the pod, Jackie talks about growing up as a soccer player in Southern California but having an awakening to the USWNT when her father and brother watched the 2011 World Cup. The discussion digs deep into how you can follow your dream to tell stories about the game when you don't automatically see a space to do so. At the end of the show, host Theo Lloyd-Hughes and Jackie talk about what they're looking forward to in the second half of the 2024 NWSL season.

    Kelly Cousins: Positivity and process, when at the bottom of the mountain

    Welcome back to Squad Depth with Theo Lloyd-Hughes. This week, it's all about the NWSL moment. And more specifically the struggling Utah Royals. Theo sat down with Kelly Cousins, the general manager of the 2024 expansion club, to get a better idea of what is going on behind the scenes in Salt Lake City. After 10 matches, the Royals are bottom of the NWSL table with only one win. Over the past couple of months, the team has also lost two assistant coaches. Head coach Amy Rodriguez is learning a lot in her first-ever season as a head coach even if it is coming the hard way. Having spent a decade as a head coach in the English Women's leagues with Reading FC, Cousins gives insight into how she evaluates and guides Rodriguez through this difficult debut year. We look to answer questions about what are the Royals' targets and growth points for this season. How are they trying to improve? And, what changes might we see? - - - - - Alongside the podcast, check out and subscribe to the Squad Depth newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.squaddepth.com/ If you have feelings about the show leave a review or send in your feedback.

    Amy Andrews: Midlands, to America, to the English Women's Championship

    Welcome back to Squad Depth with Theo Lloyd-Hughes. This week, it's a sit-down with Amy Andrews. The Englishwoman completed five impressive years in the NCAA with Western Illinois, before then having an outstanding season in the inaugural USL-W league in 2022, where she scored 16 goals in 10 games and won the league title with Georgia Tormenta FC. In August 2023, she signed her first professional contract with Durham FC in the English Women's Championship. The 24-year-old Andrews opened up about her unique journey to becoming a pro, making decisions to enjoy her football as a youth player, before then facing rejection after going undrafted by the NWSL after university. All the while fighting to grow, be seen, and do it her way. The feisty forward also opened up about why she has a penchant for late match-winning and match-drawing goals. And dug into why her goal celebrations are a big part of her game and her agenda in general for the women's game. - - - - - Alongside the podcast, check out and subscribe to the Squad Depth substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://squaddepth.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you have feelings about the show leave a review or send in your feedback.
