                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;In this debut episode, host Harry Chan talks about the winners of BBC&#39;s Season-so-far awards like Arsenal striker Vivienne Miedema and Chelsea manager Emma Hayes. He also looks at some other nominees like Arsenal&#39; Danielle van de Donk, Leah Williamson, Katie McCabe; Chelsea&#39;s Beth England and Sophie Ingle; and Everton&#39;s Chloe Kelly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In his crash-course segment &#34;In Focus&#34;, Harry looks at what the coronavirus has exposed about the financial situation of clubs. By looking at the trends in the footballing industry and the policies designed to help clubs, he discusses two major questions: 1) Why is it hard for women football clubs to earn money? 2) How should football clubs move forward after the pandemic?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
