We're back baybeeeeeeeeeeeee with ALL THE TEA. Listen up for soccer drama and also NWSL championship recap stuff! You love to hate us!

We are SPITTIN' thoughts, opinions, feelings with Em Woods on this all-encompassing WORLD CUP POD. Did the World Cup happen weeks ago? Yes. Do we care? NOPE. You missed us and you'll laugh. Probably.

This episode of Hat Picks takes you INTERNATIONAL! We talk about cool things happening with soccer overseas, the future of the sport, some cool shit, some sad shit, and some really rad shit like NWSL records being SMASHED. Tune in!

Here you go nerds! Just the tips from March and April, and we interview Jillian's spouse Anthony! HILARITY ENSUES. As always, we are a delight.

This episode is uncut because it was a total shit show to create and you're getting a same day pod about the She Believes Cup and IT IS OUTSTANDING and the quality content you've come to know and love. 

HAPPY ALMOST MARCH as we give you a glorious pod from late January. We talk about drafts, trades, and the USWNT in New Zealand! Please note that no hamstrings were detached in the making of this episode. 

It's 2023 and we are serving you -- YOU GUESSED IT -- a pod we recorded last year. We dive into the 2012 Olympic Semi-Final between the United States and Canada and take you on a historical journey you shant soon forget. A merry and prolific Hatpicksmas to all who celebrate! 

What's the record for longest time between a podcast being recorded and then edited/uploaded? DON'T ASK SILLY QUESTIONS, LISTENER. Because you should just be excited that this DOPE episode is up! Anna and Jillian are FINALLY in the same place at the same time, sharing a microphone and stories about WoSo. Did we spend a lot of time talking about wanting to get tacos? Yes. Did we then get tacos? Yes. Please enjoy our in-person musings on your favorite soccer moments from ages ago! 

But if we were going to blame someone for the delay blame DAS BOOT and Jillian's torn ligaments. 

BUCKLE UP NERDS because this is a long one--but for good reason! We welcome TikTok icon Em Woods to the pod to talk all things women's soccer. The three of us have picks for you and go off on very meaningful tangents! Hear about Megan Rapinoe's magic, the Houston Dash's sparkle, Em's prediction for the NWSL season, and more!

For the first time, you get to experience the raw genius that is Hat Picks, UNCUT. No editing (well, barely any editing). Did it still take Jillian 3 weeks to get this uploaded? Yes it did.

Dear listeners! It's an episode released the week it was recorded...it's a President's Day Miracle! This pod we talk about highlights from the WSL, A-League, and NWSL. We also talk about a lot of other dumb shit, as per usual, and you know you love it.

Look this episode is way too long and was recorded forever ago and we are slap happier than usual so just...hang in there for some sick content on the NWSL Championship, USWNT, and some other things. 

In a sick twist of events, Jillian jokes about not editing this pod for a week and then edited in 2 days! Wow. Hear us ramble on about the NWSL, WSL, A-League (formerly the W-League, (said in an Australian accent)), and Taylor Swift. Obviously. And Anna hates kids but loves Arsenal. Things are happening so tune in!

In this special edition of Hat Picks, we discuss the bravery of former NWSL players Kaiya McCullough, Sinead Farrelly, Mana Shim, and others who have spoken out about their abuse at the hands of NWSL leadership throughout the years. Because reports of this abuse finally broke into mainstream media, North Carolina Courage coach Paul Riley was fired last week and NWSL Commissioner Lisa Baird was forced to resign. Listen to our (incomplete) covering of this story about how the NWSL continues to fail players and as we reflect on what might happen next.
