#122- Anne Montgomery: Groundbreaking Life of an ESPN Female Sports Reporter in the 90's


Listen Later

This week we dive into the world of sports reporting as a female in the 1990's with former ESPN SportsCenter host Anne Montgomery. Spoiler Alert, it wasn't always fun and it certainly wasn't always fair. She takes us from her mom's less than excited reaction to hearing she wanted to major in sports journalism, to the stories of breaking gender barriers in the local and national TV world, to "aging out" of sports journalism (something that only is told to women it seems...), and what she did then. That journey took her to high school classrooms and into the pages of novels as she became a teacher and author. GREAT story this week from a really amazing person.
