Friday, 23 October, 2026

Send us Fan MailJuliet Suess returns for the second half of our Ted Lasso conversation, exploring who gets the freedom to coach differently—and who still has to prove they belong.We dig into Alice Chilton’s development, disagree over Ted’s handling of her suspension, and consider what her promotion reveals about opportunity in coaching. Ted’s decision to step back opens a broader conversation about head coaches, assistants, and whether flexibility is something everyone deserves or a privilege reserved for the person in charge.We also discuss competing without surrendering your life outside sport as well as recapping our favorite moments from the season and series. Spoilers throughout for Ted Lasso season four.
