Summary

The whole team is together for the last recorded episode of 2018! To wrap up the year, Amira, Jessica, Shireen, Brenda and Lindsay begin with a discussion about seasonal movies. [6:27] The women talk about the developments in the Nassar case and the most recent 267 paged report released by Ropes & Gray on how he was grossly enabled by USOC and USAG, and why this isn't the most widely covered story in sports. [22:18] Then the BIAD crew speaks about the ridiculous and non-shocking lack of diversity in sports media, but then they use the segment to amplify the work of amazing folks in sports media who might be under the radar. [36:14] Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, [49:40] our Bad Ass Woman of the Week - Rachael Denhollander, [53:04] and a lovely and extra-long what is good in our worlds.
