Ep. 242: Bitches Be Laborin'

In this episode, Amira Rose Davis and Shireen Ahmed join forces for a spectacular grab bag episode about all the sports madness of March. But first, Amira quizzes Shireen on memorable March Madness moments that Shireen hasn't seen. Then, they dive into the a myriad of sports news in recent weeks, including what's going on with the Premier Hockey Federation and the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association, Naomi Osaka being heckled at the Indian Wells tennis tournament, Canadian bobsleigh and skeleton athletes calling for executive resignations and how dominance curiously impacts fandom of the Champs League. Following this discussion, you'll hear a preview of Shireen's interview with Jenny Nguyen about The Sports Bra, a bar for women's sports in Portland, OR. Next, they burn the worst of sports this week on the Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those making sports better, including Torchbearer of the Week Lia Thomas, the Penn swimmer who is the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA DI championship in any sport with her 500-yard freestyle victory. They wrap up the show with What's Good in their in their lives and What We're Watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
