What you chirping now for?

This episode comes with the sad announcement that Bourney won't be part of the podcast any longer, but Relf is going to continue bringing in fantastically interesting guests to keep you all entertained. Our guest may have dropped out for this one, but Relf is joined by northerner, Emma Proctor, for conversations about run clubs, the impact of menstrual cycles on performance, and some of the questions that come with understanding your sexuality - happy pride!

We're joined by Kate and Naomi, founders of Set Piece Social, your friendly neighbourhood venue dedicated to showing women's and non-binary sports! And Bourney is back for a tongue twister cameo!

This month we speak to Leicestershire Women's new captain, and Sports Psychologist, Becki Brooker! After being challenged with a tongue twister right from the off, she shares with us some insights into the world of sports psychology, and how it can improve your game.

The unfortunate news is that co-host Ella Bourne was unavailable to record this episode, however, the good news is Georgia Relf is joined by an excellent guest, Jonathan Hirshler. Jonathan is the CEO and Co-Founder of an ethical data company called Signify who work in monitoring online abuse to protect professional sports athletes and bodies. Jonathan is also Georgia's boss - so she is a little bit nicer than usual! The pair discuss the world of online abuse and key insights that have come out of some of the projects they have covered.

It's 2024 and we're back! We've relaunched the pod and in this episode introduce you to our new 'behind the scenes' team member. We set the scene for what the pod is about, and what's changed in the first of our new monthly episodes!

This week we get our facts right whilst discussing the potential for cricket to be added to the LA 2028 Olympics, Bourney shares her cricket attire journey as well as some exciting wedding planning news, Relf talks about a big day out for her, and we hear some lovely feedback from a listener. All, whilst as usual, going marginally off-topic from time to time.

This week we welcome our first ever Special Guest on the pod - umpiring sensation - Anna Harris! We discuss the barriers preventing more females from umpiring, her top moments as an umpire, Anna inspires us to give umpiring a go, and she shows us how tongue twisters are really done...go on...have a listen...

Welcome back Chirpers! We give you a full run down of what we've been up to whilst we've been away - Bourney has a nice new rock on her finger! We also discuss a 'call it out' story, women's basketball, more on female sports kits, the amazing rise of women's football and touch on some of the science behind all the injuries the sport has seen recently. Of course there's also a sprinkle of silly stories, and the comeback of the tongue twisters.
