About this listen

WOMENZSPORTS presents Alice’s Soapbox is a brand new podcast showcasing women’s sports across Aotearoa New Zealand.


The last couple of years have been epic for women in sport in Aotearoa. We’ve hosted three World Cups, sold out stadiums, launched new competitions, and found new champions.


Good news is: we’re only just getting started! In 2024, we’re going all in on women’s sports.


Join sports journalist Alice Soper each week as she takes a peek into the lives of some of our incredible athletes, and gives these awesome New Zealand wāhine the recognition and hype they deserve.


(You might even discover a brand new sport to follow and support throughout the year!)


WOMENZSPORTS is the ultimate hype champion for NZ women’s sports. It was founded in November 2023 by Dani and Mel Marshall, with the aim to create an Aotearoa New Zealand where it is easy to be a fan of women’s sports. Get involved in the conversation on social media and follow us @womenzsports.
