  • Gets me fired up!

    2025 Update - THANK YOU for posting your live show on the pod. I’ve missed you all sooo much! I’ve added some great women’s sports podcasts to my feed since the last burn pod, but they are missing your collective blend of journalistic and academic integrity. Thank you for this. Keep on burning on, not out!

    Circa 2021 - Excellent topics, great interviews. My favorite is the end of each episode where the panel describes actions taken during the week that inhibit the growth of women’s sports or un... more

  • Love This Podcast

    I know y’all are going on hiatus, but I hope it’s not too late to write a review. This podcast is such a gift. If I was stuck on an island with only one podcast, this would hands down be it. And I’m a huge true crime fan…

    But seriously, thank you for creating a safe space for us to both love and hate sports all at once, and thank you especially for ALMOST making me want to watch mens sports again. Almost :)

    We will miss you, but we will be right here when you come back. Love y’all!
