We review the win against Kansas City and the loss to North Carolina Courage. Looking forward to the next two matches - Thorns vs Racing Louisville at Louisville and Thorns vs Gotham FC at home - we consider the potential impact of positive and negative results on the team.

After two wins, do we know how good the Thorns are? What will the expansion of NWSL into California look like, how will the internationals adjust to rejoining the team post Olympics and will Moultrie step onto the pitch June 20th? We tackle these questions and address some listener comments.

We talk about the loses to OL Reign and Orlando, the team without their national players during the Olympics, and the implications of the judge's order in the Olivia Moultrie case.

Richard's first prediction is wrong! The match will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network, NOT CBS. We hope you can tune in to root for the Thorns! Go Thorns! (We apologize for our mistake.)

We review the Challenge Cup Final, revel in the first Thorns match of the 2021 regular season and contemplate a future without Parsons.

Wherein we discuss the ̶C̶h̶a̶o̶s̶ Challenge Cup, the NWSL preseason in general, and what to expect from the upcoming season.

With vaccinations in hand and the Challenge Cup on the horizon, it's time for another episode of the first and best Portland Thorns podcast!

We're back! In our first episode since the pandemic, we try and define the current status quo, how living in a COVID world has changed women's soccer and how it has affected the NWSL and the Thorns specifically.

With Richard Budweiser at the helm we discuss the draft, John relates the plot of the 2008 children's film Bolt and Shannan shares a hot tip from a secret informant.

It's the last episode of the season and we ran long because there was so much to talk about. For instance (SPOILER ALERT) we didn't have such a great run at the end of the season. What went wrong? What changes need to be made in the off season? Who stays and who goes? All of this and more, coming up!
