This week we speak to journalist Dr. Chloe Angyal about her book on the ballet pipeline, Turning Pointe. The parallels to youth sports are uncanny you really have to check this interview out. Also we have “Choice Words” about Donald Trump and his choice to commemorate 911.

In addition, we have “Just Stand Up” and “Just Sit Down” awards to the amazing activists across the world who followed Colin Kaepernick’s lead and made courageous stands—many of whom are profiled in my new book, The Kaepernick Effect and athletes like quarterback Carson Wentz, who would rather display toxic masculinity and reject vaccination to seem tough than practice solidarity and the idea of social healthcare. All this and more on this week’s show!
