Birmingham City's Martha Harris and Crystal Palace's Hayley Ladd have appeared on the BBC Women's Football Weekly podcast to discuss WSL promotion, according to the BBC.

The programme brought together two players whose clubs have navigated the path from the Championship to the Women's Super League, though the BBC's published summary does not detail the specific content of the conversation beyond that theme.

Birmingham City are one of the more storied names in the women's game, with a history that predates the formation of the WSL, while Crystal Palace's women's section has grown considerably in recent seasons alongside the club's broader ambitions. Promotion to the top division represents a significant threshold for any club — financially, competitively, and in terms of recruitment.

The BBC Women's Football Weekly is a regular fixture in the sport's media landscape and frequently uses the platform to give players space to speak at length about their experiences, away from the brevity of post-match interviews.

No further details of the episode's content were available at the time of publication.
