The Players
Bex Smith flips the script on women's football, speaking to some of the biggest names in the game. We hear what it’s like being a leader on the pitch, inspiring the next generation and how to overcome injuries.
Bex is the best. More please!

The Players with @BexSmithkiwi never disappoints. Reminiscent of my favourite interviewer Terry Gross the host of the NPR/WHYY Program FRESH AIR, Bex is naturally inquisitive, genuinely interested in her guests, and diligent in her preparation. A committed (retired pro) footballer herself, Bex creates a comfortable camaraderie with her paired guests that invites listeners to get to know a little of the woman, the person, whose performance on the pitch we’ve loved to see. Among my favourite episodes are the Scottish players (I’m a member of the SNP); the coaches; the Scandinavian couple; and the MBE English footballers. I also relished the stark contrast between the episodes featuring retired and current USWNT players. BBC Sounds, please bring back The Players.
So Good

Bex is by far one of my favourite hosts in the soccer pod world and beyond. She steers clear of obvious, over asked questions and really connects with her guests. Love the concept of two friends per pod, as it helps pull the players’ true personalities out.
Great easy listening banter

Thoroughly enjoy this pod as an American women's soccer fan. Great interviews with icons of the game. Keep them coming!
