You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds.

You're listening to BBC Sounds. It's time for another Scrum Five podcast and possibly actually our last one

concentrating on the women's match or the women's competition I should say.

Philip Petetia is joining me once again and yeah there's so much to discuss so

welcome as I said to the Scrum5 podcast.

The sat is We're sat in the BBC Canteen, usually Philippa, we'd be with the Wales women's team, hopefully

in the Vale as they prepare for a Scotland match but we have a very very

surreal situation this week where the final weekend of the women's competition

has been postponed due to coronavirus. Now then those are words I didn't think

we'd be talking about at the start of this competition. It's a very strange

feeling to a bit of a let-down really to an end of a campaign. Yeah it really is I mean obviously I'm not

going to bang on about health and safety is paramount because we all know it is but yeah

it really is a shame for the girls I think especially with the sort of roller coaster

ride that they've had.
