TTG #4 -- The Other Babe (remastered)
On this day, June 26, in 1911, Mildred Elle “Babe” Didrikson was born. Truly The GOATs shows our appreciation for this legend in international sports with a remastered re-release of the TTG podcast episode 4, “The Other Babe.”
You’d think that earning three-American basketball team nods plus one national team championship, dominating the U.S. Olympic trials as a one-person team and winning more tournaments than any golfer except Tiger Woods would earn an American athlete a spot in the cultural consciousness forever – or at least 75 years.
On this episode of Truly the GOATs, we’ve got the story of Mildred “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias, quite possibly the greatest female athlete ever. Host Os Davis is joined by W.L. Pate, president of the Babe Didrikson Zaharias Museum and its concomitant foundation.
Further helping compose the story are excerpts from Babe’s autobiography read by Raechel Wong and contemporaneous reportage by the likes of Grantland Rice.
Truly the GOATs: Recalling the legends, recounting the history.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias’s autobiography This Life I Have Led is in the public domain and may be downloaded for free at TrulyTheGOATs.com/babebio.
Among the music used in this episode are the songs “Before I Ever Loved You by Cooper-Moore” and “Good Day” by Serge Quadrado; these are used with Attribution Noncommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License via FreeMusicArchive.org.
