Summary
On this month’s episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim is joined by author, broadcaster and journalist Dr. Carrie Dunn, Carrie is an expert and academic on all things women’s sport and is the author of two books about the Lionesses- Roar of the Lionesses (2016) and Pride of the Lionesses (2019)- which you can by here https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/pride-lionesses – or from your local bookstore if they are still delivering- they would probably appreciate the business right now!
Tim talks to Carrie about role modelling in women’s football, players in the women’s game are called upon to be role models, especially for young girls and to help increase participation in the sport. Many players see this as a privilege and an important responsibility- but to what extent is it fair? Is this just invisible labour we blithely place on female athletes?
Then Tim talks to Gunners defender Louise Quinn, who is a patron for lots of initiatives geared towards increasing participation in sport for young girls. Louise talks about why she believes in the power of role modelling and about her female role models when she was growing up. Tim also talks to Louise about how her and her teammates are handling training in times of quarantine and social distancing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women's Askcast on AskBlog.com. |
| 0:24.0 | The best podcast dedicated to the Arsenal Women's team, which I can say with a lot of confidence |
| 0:28.8 | because it's the only podcast dedicated to the Arsenal Women's team. You'll join by your host |
| 0:33.8 | me, Tim Stillman. Unfortunately, Pippa can't join us this month. Things a little bit crazy at the |
| 0:41.1 | moment as I'm sure you are all well aware and experiencing yourselves and Pippa has a pair of young |
| 0:48.0 | sons at the moment who all of a sudden are at home quite a lot. So she can't be with us this month, |
| 0:54.0 | but nevertheless the show must go on. The show will go on. A little bit later down the line, |
| 1:00.0 | we'll be talking to Arsenal defender Louise Quinn. But first we are joined by the marvelous Dr |
| 1:07.5 | Carrie Dunn, academic broadcast journalist and author of two books about the England Lionesses, |
| 1:13.9 | the roar of the Lionesses and the pride of the Lionesses. Carrie, thanks so much for joining us. |
| 1:20.1 | Thank you for having me. Absolutely pleasure. We've been planning this for some time and I |
| 1:26.6 | wanted to choose carefully a subject to get you on the podcast about and then low and behold, |
| 1:34.0 | you made me aware of a paper that you wrote in the wake of it was the 2012 Olympics, right? |
| 1:42.0 | That's right. About kind of role modeling in women's sports and particularly women's football, |
| 1:49.6 | and I just thought that was a really interesting subject to have a podcast on not least because |
| 1:55.3 | I think this isn't something that just applies to female athletes. I think all successful women |
| 2:00.3 | and indeed successful people from underrepresented groups. There's this almost additional |
| 2:06.1 | labour. We ask of them to be role models and I think that's a really interesting subject to |
| 2:11.7 | explore. To warm up, can I start just by asking you the paper that you wrote on this subject that you |
| 2:19.0 | sent to me that aroused my curiosity, perhaps what made you write it and what made you curious about |
| 2:25.3 | this subject? Yeah, of course. As you say, I wrote it in the wake of London 2012 and I've been |
| 2:32.5 | covering London 2012 as a journalist and obviously I'd covered the Women's World Cup the previous |
