Summary

We have two guests, Harrison Browne, and Arya Shirazi, talking about trans athletes and the golden era of NBA centers.


This week, we speak to Harrison Browne, the first transgender pro hockey player, about a new book he wrote with his journalist sister Rachel Browne, Let Us Play: Winning the Battle for Gender Diverse Athletes, about how their stories are a key to defending their rights in the face of a fascist movement aimed at their elimination from public life. Also, we speak to hoops savant Arya Shirazi about the golden age of NBA centers. At least, I think it’s the Golden Age. 1985-1995!
