Aboutdamntime
Love this pod. It’s about time we have a pod bringing us both women’s and men’s sports news. It’s a great way to get up to date on the latest - all things- sports. They do a good job of addressing the many issues that arise within the sports world and reflect knowledgeably without being all-knowing. The vibe and pace makes you feel like you’re in a room chatting with your friends. Thanks, the Gist for producing!
Great pod
Love this podcast! It’s so refreshing to listen to fellow ladies who actually know their sports! they’re fun and informative and they bring the social responsibility aspect to sports and it’s great
Brilliant
May or may not have spent the couple last months listening to every episode of the gist 🥲 and I loved it all. A nice mix of team updates, player news, systematic issues, and structural failings in the world of sports.
