Summary
For this month's episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast Tim is joined by The Athletic's Women's Football Correspondent Katie Whyatt. They chat a little about Katie's path to becoming one of the only full-time women's football correspondents in the country, then they get into some big ticket topics around inequality between teams in the WSL- is it avoidable? Does it matter? Is the WSL now on an untroubled path to becoming a mirror image of the Premier League? And what about some of the revered women's football clubs that haven't been able to keep pace with the WSL's march to professionalism? Could we even have a European Super League or transatlantic tournament in women's football one day? Tim and Katie discuss.
Katie wrote a piece on inequality in the WSL which you can read here – if you are a subscriber to The Athletic.

| 0:23.9 | The best podcast dedicated to the Arsenal Women's team and we can say that with absolute faith |
| 0:28.5 | and confidence because it is the only podcast dedicated to the Arsenal Women's team. Just a little |
| 0:34.4 | bit of housekeeping initially. I just want to I guess apologize for the fact that we haven't had |
| 0:39.0 | an episode in seven weeks or so we had we had quite a good high profile guest lined up who |
| 0:45.6 | unfortunately had to pull out so that's something we'll revisit and hopefully be able to do later in |
| 0:50.1 | the year. So that kind of explains the gap we did have an episode planned but it didn't quite come off |
| 0:55.5 | but nevertheless we do have a star guest for this episode who has not fallen through delighted to be |
| 1:01.6 | joined by Katie Wyatt the newly I was about saying newly crowned rather than newly appointed but maybe |
| 1:08.0 | newly crowned is appropriate the newly crowned women's football correspondent for the athletic Katie |
| 1:14.1 | thanks so much for joining us. No thank you for having me on. Katie I guess before I mean that one |
| 1:21.1 | well the reason I wanted I wanted to get you on really was you wrote a really interesting article |
| 1:26.3 | last week about kind of inequality in the WSL and and as Arsenal fans we really benefit I guess |
| 1:32.7 | from that inequality and have done for for a number of years but before we kind of get into that I |
| 1:38.1 | guess I wanted to just talk a little bit about you initially so you joined the athletic last week |
| 1:46.0 | I believe as the women's football correspondent can you just tell us I guess a little bit your kind |
| 1:52.8 | of professional history how you came to be I think I'm writing saying it's only you and Suzy who are |
| 1:58.2 | absolute bona fide full-time women's football correspondence so how you came to have this I guess |
| 2:05.2 | this this really prominent and exciting role. Yeah so I started when I was about 15 there was it was |
| 2:12.5 | all that the accident really is I think all these things often end up being more than people will |
