About this listen

 Summer of Gold tells the story of the 1996 Olympic Games through the lens of the women Olympians who dominated that summer. From the “Magnificent Seven" gymnasts to the USA women’s basketball, soccer and softball teams all winning gold (and becoming cultural phenomena), to the founding of the WNBA, 1996 altered the course of history for American sports generally and women athletes in particular. In celebration of the 25th anniversary, Summer of Gold provides an unrivaled perspective on one of the most important moments in American sports and cultural history. Hosted by Michelle Kwan.

    After the ‘96 Olympics, “girl power” swept the nation. Athletes became cultural icons and returned home to fanmail piled floor to ceiling. That was the summer that women’s sports were lifted to new heights.

    The ‘96 Olympians are often referred to as “Title IX Babies.” Life of a female athlete before Title IX was radically different. We trace the fight for Olympic inclusion and beyond.

Absolutely loved listening to the story and the reverberations of the Summer of 1996 from the athletes and women covering the sports. I was a freshman in high school and that summer is seared into my brain. Fantastic listen!

1996!
