The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

I'm Michelle Kwan.

In 1996, the world was in the midst of a massive cultural movement that saw women finally taking center stage.

Nowhere was this shift more apparent than at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

This audience was the loudest thing I have ever heard in my life.

The noise, everybody's cheering, and we see all these USA flags.

It was the most important summer in women's sports history, and team after team after team, the U.S. women kept winning.

Basketball, soccer, softball, gymnastics. I just said, give me mine. Like, give me mine.

Join me for Dear Media's Summer of Gold, presented by Together. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, I'm Maddie Orlando, and this is my sister Lauren.

Hi.

We have an eight-year age gap.

So we don't always agree on everything, but at least we have different perspectives.

On this podcast, we discuss basically anything you would talk about with your own sister.

So, welcome to our film.

Hey guys, what's up?

I'm Maddie.

And I'm Dale.

And Lauren is not here because we're in Italy without her.

And Dale's my co-host today.

So welcome back. Yes, welcome back to the sister,

dad, and daughter diary. I think we say that every time you come on the podcast. Like something along those lines. Well, maybe we should rebrand. Yeah, we're making some changes over here, guys. Just wait.
