Now here's my interview with Gwendolyn Oxenham.

Our guest now is, in my opinion, the best long-form writer on Women's Soccer in the world.

Gwendolyn Oxenham's phenomenal new project is The Podcast Series Hustle Rule, The Untold

Stories of Women's Soccer, which is hosted by Hannah Wattingham from Ted Lasso.

The series is based on Gwendolyn's book Under the Lights and In the Dark.

She also has a terrific new feature story for sports illustrated on Naomi Gurma that

you should check out.

She wrote the essays for the soon-to-be-released Coffee Table Book Pride of a Nation on

the U.S. Women's National Team.

Gwendolyn, it's great to talk to you.

Congratulations on all this and thanks for coming on the show.

Thank you, Grant.

It's great to be here.

Lost to talk about here, but let's focus on the podcast series.
