| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to full time with Megalinahan. That's me, your host as always. |
| 0:22.4 | So the news has not slowed down. |
| 0:24.3 | We're one week both into the NWSL fall series and the new FAAWSL season. |
| 0:29.1 | Hopefully everyone is enjoying watching all of these games on television. |
| 0:33.0 | More on that later in the show, thanks to Esmeral de Negren of Atalanta Media, joining us for today's pod. I'm also |
| 0:38.6 | joined by Lindsay Horan of Portland Thorns FC to discuss her approach to the fall series with her |

| 1:44.1 | Denise O'Sullivan is on loan to Brighton in the WSL, but multiple players have opted out. |
