Live in San Jose with Midge Purce & Croix Bethune

Live from the San Jose Civic, it's a very special episode of the Full Time podcast building up to the 2025 NWSL Championship Final in the Bay Area.

Hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan take you inside NWSL Awards and Media Day, from the opening two days of events in San Jose, and then dig into commissioner Jess Berman's league address, and the ongoing debates around the salary cap and whether Trinity Rodman will stay in the NWSL.

Then, Gotham FC forward Midge Purce stops by to talk about her journey back to the NWSL Championship and the unrelenting belief her team has. After that, it's time for Washington Spirit midfielder Croix Bethune to open up about what it means for her to play in her first final and the joy she finds in her team's style of play.
