| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women Askcast on AskBlog.com. Coming at you this week |
| 0:18.6 | with not one but two full episodes, that's right. We're looking ahead to the Tokyo Olympics, |
| 0:24.7 | which kick off later this month and obviously specifically the Women's Football Tournament. |
| 0:29.6 | We have plenty of Arsenal interests therein. We'll have I think nine players overall across four teams |
| 0:36.0 | and those are the four teams we're going to look at in this two-part episode. In this episode, |
| 0:41.6 | we will look at and talk about with some very distinguished guests who've been on the podcast |
