From a café in Paris, Meg Linehan sat down with NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman for a special one-on-one interview episode. The conversation focused on how the league is strategizing to maximize the impact of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Can the NWSL build on the success of the gold medal-winning U.S. women's national team, as well as dozens of high-profile foreign players who featured in Paris? With the second half of the NWSL regular season beginning on August 23, how much of a catalyst could these Games be?

With a renewed vision to be the best league in the world, Berman shared her thoughts on Naomi Girma, Marta, the power of joy, club ownership, the importance of marketing, "Super Bowl-esque events" and more.

This bonus episode of the Full Time podcast was recorded on the eve of the 2024 women's Olympic soccer final, which eventually saw the USWNT secure a memorable 1-0 win over Brazil.
