Courtney & André chat with the host of Tested, Rose Eveleth. Tested is a six-episode podcast series that digs into the history, and unfortunate present, of sex testing in women's sports. It also chronicles athletes subjected to these tests and how it impacts their lives and careers.

Rose discusses the depth of journalism that went into the near-decade long project, and her journey pitching the series. We delve into current examples of harmful policing of women's bodies, including the gross social media firestorm that wrongly surrounded Algerian boxer Imane Khelif during the Olympics.

We also chat with Rose about advantages and disadvantages, people and organizations using bad science, colonialism and racism, and how it all intertwines to target Black women in sports, particularly Black women from the Global South.

Naturally, there's also women's soccer chat—because obvs—in which we all stan Naomi Girma. Please listen to Tested, then come back here to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review with a dad joke. We appreciate y'all!
