Summary
Madeline and Charlotte are back to answer lots of the questions that their Shareholders sent in for this very special mailbag episode!
The gals talk about the state of sports media, the fact that only 18% of sports podcasts are hosted by women, how they met and why they started this show, and what advice they’d give to anyone who wants to get into this business.
They also answer questions about which athlete couple they would cast in a rom-com, who what they do with gossip that is too salacious to share, what will happen in the saga of Aaron Rodger’s wife, Brittani (whom no one has seen), their favorite stuff to travel with, and their gift guide for people who are still doing some holiday shopping!
