About this listen

Michael explores the story of women’s protest in sport. From Billy Jean King to Naomi Osaka, he digs into why women have found it so difficult to compete on a level playing field. Hope Solo talks to Michael about her fight for equal pay for the US women’s national soccer team and The Queen’s Gambit inspiration Lisa Lane tells of her defiance in the field of chess.

This episode contains strong language and reference to sexual abuse.

I start listening and just finished the 6th episode almost non stop!
Each episode features athletes and their courage risking everything fighting against racism, misogyny and other social issues.
Michael Johnson guides us throughout history in a compelling and honest way, and conducts engaging interviews that help us to understand what and how it happened and the consequences, always unfavorable to the defiant athletes.
It’s fascinating yet sad to realize that so little progress had been achieved on society.
I can’t wait to listen to the last two episodes.

A must podcast! I can’t stop listening!
