Show Notes
Welcome to the Party is officially 100 episodes strong! 🎉 Abby Wambach, Julie Foudy and Billie Jean King celebrate the milestone by looking back at the conversations, guests and completely unhinged moments that made the first 100 parties unforgettable.

Plus, the crew relives some of the show’s funniest moments, celebrates the incredible team behind the scenes and reflects on why creating more space for women’s sports stories matters now more than ever.
One hundred episodes, 31 sports, seven decades of women’s sports history and a whole lot of laughter later, the party is only getting started. Thank you, Party People. 💯🥳
