This week we talk to Pamela Grundy and Susan Shackelford, authors of the groundbreaking book, Shattering the Glass: The Remarkable History of Women’s Basketball. You have to listen to this interview.
We also have Choice Words about Caitlyn Jenner’s pathetic political power play. In addition, we also have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to, respectively, the German women’s gymnastic team for their statement against sexualization in the sport and Knicks/Rangers owner James Dolan. All this and more on this week’s show!
