Grant has an on-point interview (at 39:28) with Courtney Stith and André Carlisle, the hosts of the terrific new podcast Diaspora United, which centers Black women in domestic and global soccer. They explain the origin story of their podcast, how they approach their analysis and interview choices, and what they're excited about heading into a busy week with USWNT games at Sweden and France and the start of the new NWSL Challenge Cup.
Before that, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down the news of the soccer weekend, including Christian Pulisic's latest injury, Americans Tim Weah and Tyler Adams playing in top-of-the-table clashes in France and Germany, yet another racism incident in European soccer, and previews of this week's four highly anticipated men's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal matchups.
