The Late Sub is wonderful — limited ads, no awkward banter, just Claire sharing women’s sports news and her analysis.

Claire is so dynamic in her analysis and storytelling, made even more impressive by the fact she’s monologuing. How difficult it is to make podcasts sound conversational, even with conversations, and she achieves this on her own. Here for the soccer but I’ve loved learning more about basketball. Also hot take: I appreciate that there aren’t interviews on this pod. The other woso pods cover that, and most of the time I find them redundant or lacking insight. I come here to sound smarter about soccer when I rant about it to my friends.

One person talking for 30-40 minutes and covering topics just throughly enough to count it as coverage… rather than having a back and fourth with other personalities who cover the sport as well so as to be slightly interesting… And they went the solo pod production route? Love Claire’s work historically, but this isn’t working and they’re not really trying.

The content is great - thoughtful analysis, to the point, interesting and illuminating. It’s an excellent addition to JWS, fun to wait for every week. Only complaint is frequent repetitions of “like I said” and “again” - so frequent that it becomes irritating. It’s ok to repeat things when you make a point, it’s expected, and in this case justified. It takes a little while to establish a point and emphasize it a few times - perfectly fine - no need to acknowledge with “again.” Saying “like I said” sometimes in consecutive sentences or as often as 3 times in 10 sentences - sounds compulsive, and it’s at this point like a tic. Please allow yourself to go back to good points you’ve made, without declaring that a repetition is coming. Otherwise - excellent podcast, great mix of topics, always a thoughtful POV.

I love the WNBA coverage! Also love the focus on tactics/game coverage for both NWSL and WNBA. Guests are okay, but I generally prefer Claire solo/without a cohost because her analysis is so good and I think solo coverage keeps the podcast more focused. Only wish would be for longer episodes.

Need to add another expert to this or bring in guests. I keep waiting for discussion, but it's just a long monologue.

I’ve always loved Claire’s soccer analysis but find I love her basketball analysis even more! Thank you for helping me appreciate what makes Dawn Staley so special.

Please stop talking about things we don’t care about like college basketball! Cannot wait for that to be over! Please please focus on the NWSL!!!!!! More of that please!!!! Also maybe get some women soccer players on to interview? Tell us everyday what Alex Morgan is doing! Ha.

Love to hear analysis of the women's game - thank you!! Would love to hear the PWHL included in the future.

I loved Kelley, Midge, Sam, and Lynn’s voices in their JWS podcasts but the Late Sub has the analysis that I had been craving. (I know all the shows have different purposes!). I think there is an edge that is there since she hasn’t been a pro player herself and isn’t worried about talking about her friends and teammates like the others may have been. Loved, loved, loved the quick and speedy recaps and also the thorough explanations of how games and tournaments are setup. I feel like the podcasts hosted by players often skipped over that since it’s second nature for them. I would say that Claire might be good with a co-host who is on her high-level to add some banter to the show!

I loved Snacks. It was so great! If Lynn and Sam needed to move on, sure. I’m bummed but totally understand. But it’s so weird using their IP and feed for a totally different basketball/soccer pod. So lame. I’ll just have to delete it from my feed now even though it would have been nice to keep it. : (

Great analysis, love the topics covered. Feels like Claire has a long future doing pods

Great insight constructive criticism been liking in some of the podcast I listen to about women’s soccer, or over US women’s national team soccer.

Love this update! It brings all different Womens sports to the spotlight as deserved.

This show is so so so so so good and funny and I cried when it was over! I will miss it so much! Thanks guys!

You guys!!!! This is so amazing. Please don’t stop recording! This is so inspirational and brings me so much joy. I usually listen to it when I am training, and before my club games. Thanks for all of this.

Snacks is the best. I love listening to you girls! And I am the biggest USWNT supporter so this was basically made for me. I love how funny Sam mewis and Lynn Williams are!

Snacks brings joy to my life. Please continue. I am sad that Sam may not be able to play soccer again, but confident that she has so much to contribute going forward. Sam, take strength from all those who love and believe in you.

The Championship recap show was an easy listen. My favorite part, however, was when Sam shared her experience with injury. That was incredibly helpful for people to hear, and thank you for doing so.

I would definitely be a havapoo or a German Shepherd. My havapoo name is Finn and he definitely lives up to his Finnish name.

I realized when I saw Snacks in my podcast lineup today that I love it so much it’s now officially my favorite podcast not just my favorite podcast about soccer. I love it! It’s sweet, funny, goofy and thoughtful. And when Sam switches over into deep soccer tactical analysis it’s clear she’s one of the best thinkers about soccer out there. I hope she and Lynn both have years of playing ahead of them, but if Sam has to retire, her leadership within the game and as a pundit will mean she’s still a huge asset to the game.

Another incredible podcast produced by JWS. I’m 37 and this is pod is something I would have given anything for as a young female athlete. It’s my favorite weekly podcast and has a little bit of everything. Thanks Lynn and Sam, I adore you both. CHOMP!

I listen to this podcast while walking to class and working out! Thank you for making my days brighter!

Snacks has been my light in a dark time. Without fail, I can pop an episode on and be laughing within seconds. Lynn and Sam’s dynamic is priceless and I think we all just listen and want to be their friend. Keep it up guys, and thanks for doing more than you probably realize for a lot of us out here. Chomp!

Love this hilarious, intelligent and insightful women’s soccer podcast and enjoy your interviews with guests. it just felt like Abby shoved you to the side to push her own agenda. Obviously I’m down for next week!

Epic convo with Abby! Such great questions and insight. #Chomp

I can’t even with how much I enjoy listening to Lynn and Sam banter, share, and laugh. From talking about apple-picking to knitting to, yeah, some soccer, too, they will keep you laughing and smiling. We all need to have friendships like theirs. Even if you’re not a soccer fan, this is a fun show (but also…get into women’s soccer immediately!).

What a podcast! I literally had chills all over listening to Abby talk about the goal v Brazil. She put into words the inexplainable moment in sports - TRUST !! And SURRENDER What a lesson - for sports and life! WOW!!!

A gem among podcasts! As a women’s soccer lover and lover of good smart funny people, this podcast has it all. I just wish there was more of it. Thank you Sam and Lynn. We love you!

Been listening to this podcast since the beginning and love it. I’m convinced the only people who should interview athletes are other athletes because I feel like the players are more comfortable sharing stories and being vulnerable with people who know/understand them. Love Lynn and Sam’s dynamic and the variety of topics they get in to. Excellent work ladies! GO BATS.

I have only listened to two episodes so far, but this has become one of my favorite podcast. I loved the interview with Jessica Berman, NWSL Commissioner. It was informative and entertaining. Great questions and discussion. I was already an avid fan of the NWSL, and this has enhanced my fandom. Kudos to Lynn and Sam!!

Not a big podcast person, but Snacks is my absolute favorite. Makes me feel like I’m hanging out with Sam, Lynn, and their guest(s) every week. I want to be their bestie.

I look forward to Thursdays to be uplifted and entertained by Lynn and Sam. Their guests are interesting and it is wonderful to learn different sides of these amazing women. Keep up the good work and thank you.

It's funny and quirky, and I love it. I really enjoy listening to Lynn & Sam and finding out more about the inside scoop of rhe NWSL League and USWMT. Keep up the great work! Chomp😎

Love listening! Bring on Abby!

Snacks is an incredible show. I love all the behind the scenes insight into the game and the players that we love to watch. I hope we can see Sam back out on the field soon - any updates that you can fill us in on? Also, I am a Gotham season ticket holder / GO BATS!!! Go Lynn!!!

I love listening to you two on my dog walks. You are funny, informative, and just are so genuine. I also love watching you two play. I smile the whole time!

The only thing I hate about this is that it only comes out once a week. Love Lynn and Sam and the open honest conversations they have with everyone. It’s also super fun to listen to all the back and forth between these amazing women.

Love me some Sammy and Lynn Williams!!!

This podcast rules and my only suggestion is to make it year round!

I’m so excited for the Pod to be back! I’ve had a SNACKS sized hole in my heart during the hiatus. Exceptionally entertaining, insightful, and fun! Can’t wait to hear more from Shrimp Head and Panic Petunia!

Thank you for having Ashley Hatch on your program. Her being left off the World Cup team was so devastating. It had to be so crushing. The game of soccer is a game of up’s and downs. I love how Ashley told us how she navigated the news and how her team and coaches were so supportive. We all need to hear how people navigate their mental health and learn from it. Thank you Ashley for being such a class act! And thank you Lynn and Sam for such a great platform for players to share. Love this podcast!

This. Has. Everything. I’m a huge soccer fan so I love their recaps and insights. What I love even more is their friendship and all the great stories they share. The best guests. The best questions. You feel like you’re in the room with them listening to these great conversations with soccer legends. And such a healthy dose of silly. I am always giggling along. More of all of this please.

I love how unconventional the podcast is and they stick to who they are, super stars who are deep down just real people. I’ve just started but I’ve seen clips on TikTok so looking forward to the laughter and chaos to come. I wish all of them were filmed versus some just having pieces of the podcast. Maybe that’s something to come. I’m a newish fan to soccer, first watched the 2015 Women’s World Cup so it’s going to be fun to learn even more through this podcast. Overall love watching these two play on the National team and take a deeper dive into their lives and the sport of soccer.

Just found Snacks during the World Cup, so I’m late to the game. But Sam and Lynn are so good that I’ve gone back and listened to over half of all of their episodes. Such good insights and also super funny. The balance is 🤌. I’m an avid listener for life now❤️

Could a podcast get any more perfect? Great hosts, great guests, great banter, perfect mix of soccer and real life. Always laughing while listening. Best parts are the free flow conversations when you can tell they stay away from the notes. Sam and Lynn slay at everything so tuning in every week is a no brainer. Love my girls!

Absolutely LOVE these 2 so much!! I would be so happy to hear them talk about absolutely anything at all. They have the biggest hearts and are so hilarious and I hope this goes on forever.

I just binged every ep of Snacks in time for the World Cup and my serotonin is out the ROOF! Thanks to Sam & Lynn for bringing the laughter, the feels, and everything in-between while letting us inside the minds of our NWSL and USWNT heroes. I rate this pod with 5 stars and two big CHOMPS! P.S. GO BATS!

If you love fun and friendship this is the pod cast for you!! Amazing insider women’s soccer!! Love it!

My 12 year old daughter and I look forward to listening to every episode when they come out. Not only do we love the soccer talk but all the fun interactions between Lynn and Sam! We will miss the pod during the World Cup break. Best of luck to Lynn and the USWNT!!! 🍊
