WE'RE MOVING:
To all our loyal listeners of the Next and helping it grow into what it is today, this is an announcement to let you know we will no longer be recording this podcast. —this is not the end! But these important conversations do have a brand-new home.We loved making The Next, but we realised we wanted to get even more out of these topics. So, we’re changing up the format to bring conversations that match the speed of what we are seeing out there and how it's effecting women's sports.Don't worry—you’re still getting the loved Reanna Browne who is coming right along with us. We’re just moving the party to substack so our audience can see visuals, join conversations and we can all get to know each other.Thank you so much for being with us on The Next. We’ll see you over at our new home!

This week: wowee, there's some more surfing news! A 13-year old takes the U18s title, serena williams has a pitch side snap with ellie carpenter and england rugby decided to kick the ball out to end on a draw that ended their winning streak.
For the key story - well we need to look at what sports marketing is actually doing that doesn't rely on the 'just sports' style of advertising. How are companies seeing women's sports and what are google doing with making women's sports more discoverable on search?
