Racing fans got their first taste of the new team in the Women's Cup and Tom, Bekki, and Kaitlyn discuss all the good and the no-so-good from the team's big preseason tournament. Plus, new assistant coach Carm Moscato joins us to discuss her new role with the team, what they learned from their trip to Colombia, and more!

PS - Bekki apologizes for her awful audio. Mic issues seem to be a running theme this season.

Cue up the sad Sarah MacLachlan mixtape because in this extra off-season bonus episode, Tom, Kaitlyn, and Bekki talk about all the players we've lost this off-season and how that might impact the team. But it's not all tears and sadness! We have plenty to be happy about, including new head coach Bev Yanez and what we hope she can bring to the team! 

In the true season two finale, Bekki, Tom, and Kaitlyn get deeper into how this year went for Racing. Can it be called a success when the team finished in 9th...AGAIN? But if it wasn't a success, can we really overlook the progress and call it a failure? We get into the meat of the season this episode, so join us one final time for season two!

Racing Louisville's third season has sadly come to an end. But that doesn't mean we still can't have fun! Kaitlyn, Tom, and Bekki give our selections for the First Annual Butchertown Rundown End of the Season Awards in the first part of our season-ending podcast. Check out part two where we break the season down in more detail in a few days!

Kaitlyn and Bekki begrudgingly remember the loss to Houston that pushed Racing down in the 9th place. On a happier note, however, they discuss the huge list of NWSL free agents that came out this week. Who will Racing potentially lose and who will Racing potentially grab? That's our big discussion this week on the Butchertown Rundown.

The North Carolina Courage win their 7th league title, two NWSL teams are for sale, and the USWNT and USMNT September rosters. A lot of news in NWSL and MLS and Anna Witte and Scott Schweitzer are here to discuss it all! Like, subscribe to our channel, and tune in Wednesdays for a new episode!

This week Kaitlyn returns to the podcast and Bekki has the week off. She and Tom  discuss Racing's 3-0 Challenge Cup loss to Kansas City, what needs to happen for the team to clinch a playoff spot, her trip to New Zealand, and which players are going to be crucial to Racing's success as they finish out the season. 

Kaitlyn may still be in New Zealand, but Bekki and Tom are home and ready to discuss Racing's first entry into the Challenge Cup playoffs and all the World Cup goings on. Can Racing go the distance and win some hardware this season? (Note that this episode was recorded Sunday so it is in places slightly out of date in terms of World Cup scores and outcomes). 

This week it's just Tom and Bekki holding down the fort as Kaitlyn flies away to New Zealand for the World Cup. The most recent Kansas City game is discussed, as are potential off-season roster moves, and the state of the team at midseason. Tom also commits to making Butchertown Rundown the most accurate and factual podcast in existence and also provides a legendary Mint Mix submission in honor of Jaelin Howell.

This week Tom, Bekki, and Kaitlyn recap Racing's loss against the North Carolina Courage and their frustrating draw with OL Reign. We also discuss Coach Kim's future with the club, what we'd like to see in Racing's next game against Kansas City, the snake situation among Racing players, and so much more. 

This week Bekki & Kaitlyn discuss Racing's recent success, Savannah DeMelo going to the World Cup, and how the team will fare during the World Cup break. We also address the Racing front office's mishandling of this month's Juneteenth celebration and what we'd like to see from the club going forward. 

In this special new Extra Cut, Tom, Kaitlyn, and Bekki talk to Abby Erceg about Racing's growth throughout the season, how to be an effective leader, and being unexpectedly delighted by Kentucky despite dangerous encounters with local wildlife in parking garages. 

Bekki, Tom, and Kaitlyn discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of Racing's past 3 games, as well as the team's identity and the importance of the Challenge Cup. A nu-metal themed Mint Mix and discussion about stand-out players rounds out the episode. 

The dog days are over for Racing as Kaitlyn, Bekki, and Tom discuss Big Purp's three big consecutive wins. Everything from Racing's KC masterpiece to Sav DeMelo potentially getting called up to the World Cup is on the table, plus Tom coins the phrase "put our neck on their throats" and makes peace with Emily Fox's incoming appearance at Lynn Family Stadium in a Courage kit. 

The FIFA U-20 World Cup kicks off on Saturday. How will this tournament affect the future of U.S.Soccer? Plus, the use of triangles in MLS & NWSL play and which NWSL coaches Scott & Anna believe have great plans for the teams.

Tom, Bekki, and Kaitlyn have a group therapy session to process Racing's tough loss to Orlando. Then we discuss our thoughts on the season so far and what ultimately needs to be done for the team to regain their Big Purp status. We also have the first round of listener submissions for the Mint Mix.

In the second half of our Extra Cut, Tom, Bekki & Kaitlyn talk - or rather shout - about Racing's draw with OL Reign. We laugh. We cry. Tom does an Elvis impression. So it's pretty much par for the course. But we do have one of the best Mint Mix episodes to date, so check it out.

In part one of this week's special Extra Cut episode, we talk to Racing's new general manager Ryan Dell. He's been in Louisville for about a month and Dell joins the pod to talk about his experience so far, his player management philosophies, and how Racing is going to be a premiere destination in the women's soccer world. We also subject him to the world's slowest lightning round known to man. 

Equalizer writer and photographer Taylor Vincent joins Kaitlyn, Tom, and Bekki to discuss Racing's less-than-stellar matches in L.A. and Portland. As a former first-division NCAA softball player and coach, Taylor also shares her insight into the mental side of playing elite sports and what it takes to create a winning culture where it doesn't yet exist.

This week Bekki and Kaitlyn recap Racing’s draw with the Washington Spirit, preview the team’s upcoming matches against Angel City and Portland, and discuss Jaelin Howell’s new role as captain. We also add more songs to the Mint Mix and talk about all things banner-related.
