Follow the show: Good Game with Sarah Spain

Melissa Ludtke, award-winning journalist and author of the recently released book, Locker Room Talk: A Woman's Struggle to Get Inside, joins Sarah to discuss a serendipitous meeting that helped her realize sports media was her calling, being the only woman assigned to cover Major League Baseball full-time for Sports Illustrated in the mid-70s, and filing – and WINNING – a lawsuit against the MLB. Plus, some folks really don’t understand the concept of personal space.
