Why are we producing a podcast?

The last couple of years have been epic for women in sport in Aotearoa. We’ve hosted three World Cups, sold out stadiums, launched new competitions, and found new champions.

Good news is: we’re only just getting started! In 2024, we’re going all in on women’s sports. 

Join sports journalist Alice Soper each week as she takes a peek into the lives of some of our incredible athletes, and gives these awesome New Zealand wāhine the recognition and hype they deserve.

(You might even discover a brand new sport to follow and support throughout the year!)

Episodes will be available on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio (and more!). A complementary suite of bonus content designed to keep the conversation going will be released throughout the year across the WOMENZSPORTS social media platforms.
