About this Podcast:
The Forecast is a new show here on KVRU where we’re taking traditional sports radio and turning it on its head. That means, we’re here to cover the women’s sports scene in Seattle. We love you Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders and Kraken, but honestly, you get enough coverage.This show will be all about The Seattle Storm, Reign, and Torrent (hence our name, The Forecast), and all of the other incredible women athletes here in the Seattle area. We’re talking Salmon Bay FC, Seattle Majestics, Rat City Roller Girls, the Seattle Riot, The Seattle Tempest, and of course our local college athletes, the Huskies, the Redhawks, and many more. We want to broaden the horizons of what it means to cover sports here in Seattle, and we can’t wait to get started.
