    Ep 269: Live from the North American Society for Sports History Conference (NASSH)

    This episode of Burn It All Down was recorded in front of a live audience on May 26, 2025, at the North American Society for Sports History’s annual conference, which took place at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. We’re back, one more time, for another one-off live show. We are not resuming weekly shows at this point.  If you are interested to bringing BIAD to your location for a live show, please contact us through our website: https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/ EPISODE SUMMARY: This week, Shireen, Lindsay, Amira, Brenda, and Jessica talk about sports in this moment of upheaval.  They discuss athlete activism (or the lack thereof), what we can learn about right now from what has come before, what all of these means on an international level, and how sports intersects and affects the so-called “culture wars” directly. And, as always, you’ll hear the Burn Pile and Torchbearers, starring Nikola Čorbová, the first woman to finish the brutal 138-mile Himalaya XTRI triathlon. EPISODE NOTES:  We want to thank Dr. Russell Field and everyone at NASSH for bringing us together for this live show.  This episode was produced by Martin Kessler. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist.  For show notes, transcripts, and more info about BIAD, check out our website: http://www.burnitalldownpod.com NOTE: We will have a transcript for this episode available on our site as soon as we can, though not as quickly as we used to.
