Season 4 Premiere

Women's Sports Matter

Release Date: 05-17-2022 01:00

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Women’s Sports Matter Podcast! In today’s episode, Season 4 is back! After taking four months off for school, I've decided it's time to come back for another season of the pod! With five grueling months of school finally over, I get to focus my time and energy on the podcast. Get ready for some fantastic interviews, women's sports content, and learning more about how to bet in women's sports. Speaking of betting, Women's Sports Matter has a new sponsor, BetHer. In each episode, Derek Helling, the newest member of the Women's Sports Matter team, will educate listeners of the podcast about how to safely and adequately bet on women's sports. These segments will take place at the end of each episode and are sponsored by BetHer. Some of today's topics include where I will be attending school in the fall, what is coming up for the pod, and what I have been up to in my "off-season". Also, I would like to give a special shoutout to Subria Whitaker, Erika Piancastelli, Carly Jackson, and Connor Moore for being a part of this season's intro! I wanted to do things differently for Season 4, so I got some past guests from last season to be a part of the intro! Thank you all for being a part of this, it means the world to me! Anyway, that's enough written stuff from me; I hope you enjoy today's episode.
