| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to full time with Meg Glynahan. I am Meg. You are listening to a show all about women's soccer on |
| 0:21.4 | the athletic podcast network. We are coming to you on Wednesday as we have some news here on today's |
| 0:26.9 | show with Megan Burke of the NWSL Players Association and former player Manashim joining me to discuss |
| 0:33.5 | a new initiative from the Players Association as my guess. More on that in a minute. |
| 0:38.6 | It's also maybe, question mark, the last week of big news here in the NWSL of the year. |
