May 28, 2024 Squidward & John Madden [Spirits v. Reign review, United Spirits II, new signing(s), & more]
Annie, Ella & André get into lots of Washington Spirit stuff. We recap the 3-2 win over Seattle Reign, and note an interesting second half trend. Then we talk about the unexpected return of United Spirits, and why Hal Hershfelt and Kate Wiesner were called up.
After, we discuss the signing of Notre Dame defender Waniya Hudson, and the rumor of former Manchester City player Esme Morgan heading to DC. Also, André forgets his second point and it haunts him for the remainder of the podcast (he remembered three minutes after we finished recording).

May 17, 2024 Meet the Spirit's ESPN 630 broadcast team! (w/ Gaby Vincent, Michael Minnich, and Bram Weinstein)
We had the pleasure of sitting down with the new ESPN 630 team on the even of their first broadcast! Gaby Vincent, Bram Weinstein and Michael Minnich talk about why this is such an important step for the Washington Spirit (and women's sports overall), and what they'll bring to the broadcast.
We also get to know each member of the team, their backgrounds, commentating pet peeves, the potential of Taylor Swift references seeping into broadcasts, and of course their thoughts on candy corn.

May 07, 2024 Trends we don’t like to see [Spirits v. Thorns Match Review]
Annie, Ella & André review an unfortunate 2-1 Spirits loss to Portland Thorns, courtesy of a couple frustrating trends they haven't been able to shake.
We identify those trends and why they might be happening, and how the team may approach solving them. It was a frustrating game but there were some highlights, including Lena Silano's first regular season goal and Tara McKeown's progression at center back.

The Spirits beat Chicago 4-2 thanks to Trinity Rodman's first, Ouleye Sarr's third, and a banger of a brace from Brittany Ratcliffe!
Immediately after the postgame presser Annie, Ella & André hopped in the studio to react to it all. We talk about the Spirit finding their footing, controlling the game, responding after Chicago's first, and what it all means for the progression of the team so far.

April 28, 2024 Banda'd [Orlando Review | Chicago Preview]
Ella & André react to the Spirit's narrow loss to Orlando Pride – well, more accurately, Barbra Banda. The Zambian star made her first NWSL start and showed why she was worth several bags.
We discuss what worked and what didn't when defending Banda, the lineup tweak to start Paige Metayer over Ashley Hatch, Ouleye Sarr's perfect self-assessment, Bethune's first assist, and Trinity Rodman seeking her first goal.
Then we look ahead to Wednesday's game against the Chicago Red Stars. We chat about how the defense can adjust during this run against elite attacking talent, and how the Spirit can find success in attack against a stingy Red Stars defense.

April 17, 2024 THE GK UNION (w/ Aubrey Kingsbury & Nicole Barnhart)
To celebrate goalkeeper kits finally becoming available across the NWSL we chatted with 2/3 of the Spirits GK Union, Aubrey Kingsbury and Nicole Barnhart!
Annie, Ella and André ask just what exactly is the GK Union, the keepers they looked up to, why it's about damn time that their shirts are available, plus Aubrey's big promise to anyone who buys and wears one at Audi.
We also took the time to chat about the season so far, how the fluidity in the outfield affects organizing the backline, who has impressed so far (and who will soon), baking, the Washington Capitals, and Barnie's work with DC Soccer Club.
