106. The Sports Episode: Women in Sports Aren't Unicorns
It turns out that being a woman sports fan is just like being any other kind of sports fan. They don't need pink jerseys, they just want to feel included. In this episode, we sit down with Keely Dunning, a sports podcaster who has worked in sports for 10 years, after she decided she didn't want to go into the entertainment industry. As it turns out, just like in our Construction Episode (90), being a woman in the sports industry can be a tough job.
We talk about why it is important to get women more engaged in sports communities (other than to make sports media more money), how the promotion of women's sports can be good for creating more women fans, and how different professional sports leagues have handled increasing calls for diversity (Spoiler: NASCAR beats out the NFL by a long shot).
