Legacy fans, we are back with our last "special episode" before the team is finally back in action on Sunday. Obviously, we at the Swan Dive are supporters of women's sports so this episode takes a little look into the landscape of women's sports with some special guests. Our first guest Greg talked with Andy about the Boston Dream organization and how it not only interfaces with the Boston Legacy...

Welcome to the 25th episode of The Swan Dive! We are back after a bit of a break with a bit of a different episode this week. Since the league is on break, we don't have any games to review or preview, but did do some fun things this week. Before we got to all that, we had some exciting news to discuss! The Legacy announced the signing of USWNT and Gotham FC defender (and MA Native) Lilly Reale an...

Well, I think a lot of folks would agree it went better than it could have, but we once again have to discuss another Legacy loss, this time to the Kansas City Current. First time guest Nicole joins us to recap and share thoughts on the 1-0 loss. No preview this week because the league is on international break for the month of June, but stay tuned to the end to hear what the Swan Dive will be up...

All good things must.come to an end. Don't worry, we arent talking about the podcast (you're stuck with us), but we are referring to the Legacy's unbeaten streak.

We get into the good, the bad, the ugly...

Tyler has some great information and advice o...

We are back for this week's second episode! Sort of seems like we just did this doesn't it? (spoiler alert, we did). Totally worth it though, because we get to celebrate another Legacy win! Unbeaten in four games and not in last place anymore. Andy and Courtney were joined for this episode by Dave, who is really extending his lead in the "most Swan Dive appearances" race. We had a lot to talk abou...

Happy 20th episode! Hard to believe we have already done so many of these. Thanks to everyone who has been with us thus far. Twenty down, many, many more to go. Even better, we get to celebrate 20 episodes by talking about a big draw against reigning champions Gotham FC. In the first of two episodes scheduled for this week, Andy and Courtney are joined by returning guest Cathy to recap the big roa...

We got three points! After a great mid week draw against the Courage, the Legacy picked up all three points against Denver Summit in somewhat dramatic fashion (hello two goals basically in stoppage time?) We were so pumped to record this episode. Andy and Courtney are joined by returning guest and self described Swan Dive Super Fan Brooks to recap the Legacy's big win. We then were joined once aga...

Quick turnaround for us this week, but we were excited to record this next episode because the Legacy got their first point!

Andy and Courtney were joined by third time guest Dave (who now holds the record for most Swan Dive guest caps) to review the draw against the North Carolina Courage. The team...

Multiple games in one week means multiple Swan Dive episodes in one week! On today's episode we are joined by Julianne to discuss the encouraging but also so very frustrating loss to the Chicago Stars. The Swan Dive team discusses the good, the bad, and the not quite, but maybe sort of ugly in what was arguably (but not really arguably) the best Legacy performance to date despite the loss and lack...

It was...not a long international break, but long enough. We are so excited to be back and are celebrating in a very big and cool way.

Andy and Jeff chat all things Legacy, from coaching to roster building and tactics to performance. He even made a prediction for this wee...

This week Andy and Courtney are joined by first time Swan Dive guest Brooks, as...

In a special sort of bonus episode of The Swan Dive, Andy and Courtney do something they never have done before on the show; go guest-less and just talk amongst themselves. When you see the topic of this episode, you will understand why. The Swan Dive spends a lot of time discussing the Boston Legacy, which it should, its a BLFC fan show (its in the title of the podcast!) but we realized for some;...

We are back after what is hopefully our last extended break for awhile. Its a short one this week, but join Andy, Courtney and this week's guest Dave as we discuss the future format and schedule for the show, the 2026 team schedule, the Legacy's first ever kit and recent signing Josefine Hasbo.
