In this episode, the entire Burn It All Down squad reunites for a fall sports round-up spectacular! At the top of the show, Amira Rose Davis, Brenda Elsey, Shireen Ahmed, Lindsay Gibbs and Jessica Luther first share what they want to carve into a festive pumpkin. Then, they parse through the beautiful chaos that is fall sports and offer their insight and commentary on women's college soccer, women's college volleyball, men's college football, global football/soccer, hockey, baseball and the WNBA playoffs.

After the round-table, you'll hear Amira tease the interview of the week, a round-table discussion about the NBA and vaccines. Then, the team burns all that needs to be burned in sports on the Burn Pile. Next, they lift up and celebrate those shining light, including Torchbearers of the Week Sinead, Mana, Kaiya, the NWSLPA, all those who have been impacted by coercion, assault and harassment by coaches in the NWSL, and Meg and Katie for their reporting. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they're watching in sports this week.
