Episode 189: Joanna Lohman

Women’s World Football Show, Episode 189 features an exclusive interview with former USWNT midfielder and Washington Spirit icon Joanna Lohman.

Joanna Lohman has taken all the lessons she’s learned in her 16-year career and hundreds of stories from professional women soccer players and produced one of the most anticipated books of the year. Here to talk about Raising Tomorrow’s Champions, which she co-authored with Paul Tukey, Joanna share with us the process of compiling all the stories in this book, how it was inspired, and much more.

Despite never winning a championship of any kind, Joanna has redefined what it means to be a champion, from her days with the USWNT to becoming the first Washington Spirit player in the team’s history to ever have her jersey number retired. There’s a lot to learn from one of soccer’s most influential players and she’s here to share it all with us! (14′)

FrauenbundesligaFrauen-Bundesliga
The 2015-16 Frauen-Bundesliga season is underway and Adam sits down with Germany expert Jana Lange in part one of a two-part preview of the season. A virtual who’s who of teams, players, and even a few goats. After this segment, you’ll be the hit of Octoberfest with all your German league knowledge.

USWNT
AJ “Postgame Gator” Johnson covered the USA vs Costa Rica match in Chattanooga, Tenn. on August 20, 2015 and came away a little wet but with a lot of great soundbites from Abby Wambach and Coach Jill Ellis. Also, listen to AJ’s one-on-one with legendary midfielder Shannon Boxx. It’s guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face.

A Zanzibar Soccer Story
Patty welcomes film maker Megan Shutzer to the show for an in-depth discussion on her groundbreaking documentary New Generation Queens: A Zanzibar Soccer Story. This eye-opening film documents the inspiring story of the women of Zanzibar as they prepare to compete for the first time in the Copa Coca-Cola tournament in Tanzania. This remarkable film brings us into a world where women are not allowed to play (that shouldn’t even be a sentence), but who’s spirit and passion  to play the beautiful game is breaking barriers and changing a culture.
