| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to full-time with Meg Linahan. |
| 0:19.0 | Thank you, as always, for tuning into this podcast, |
| 0:21.5 | which is all about women's soccer on the Athletic Podcast Network. I am your host, as it says in |
| 0:27.1 | the title, Megalinahan. I'm a staff writer at The Athletic, covering the NWSL and the U.S. |
| 0:31.6 | Women's National Team. This is actually our final episode of 2020, I hope, honestly. It's also the 25th full-length |
| 0:39.3 | episode of the show. Now, to celebrate, I do hope that you are ready to listen to me for a while. |
| 0:45.5 | It is just me today, as much as I actively try to avoid this, but honestly, I think I've got |
| 0:50.7 | some good stuff planned. First, I've got a bit of a year in review segment because honestly, 2020 has been a wild year. I think it is worth at least attempting |

| 1:46.0 | month and the Athletics Best of 2020 list earlier this week. But I am especially happy to report |
| 1:51.5 | that this very podcast full-time with Megalenehan made that list for the site's best podcast of the |
