On this week\u2019s episode of The Waves, we\u2019re talking about the Women\u2019s World Cup and why you should be watching it (even if sometimes it\u2019s a little tricky to find). Slate senior supervising producer Daisy Rosario is joined by investigative sports journalist Jessica Luther with a Waves guide to the cup. They discuss what players to look for, why nationalism can sometimes trump misogyny, Megan Rapinoe\u2019s retirement, and why the US women\u2019s soccer team is so good.\n\nIn Slate Plus: Episode 5 of our And Just Like That\u2026recap.\n\nIf you liked this episode, check out: Is the Wedding Dress Dead?\n\nPodcast production by Cheyna Roth with editorial oversight by Daisy Rosario and Alicia Montgomery.\nSend your comments and recommendations on what to cover to thewaves@slate.com.\n\nIf you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
