Descripción

Ketra Armstrong, the Director of the Center for Race and Ethnicity in Sport at the University of Michigan, joins Sarah ahead of Juneteenth to discuss how sport has the ability to bring people together around conversations of race, gender and equity, why she wants folks to get back to the power of play, and whether men have screwed things up so much we might finally get a matriarchy. Plus, that’s a high Fever, a couple of family affairs, and veebers use their voices. (Yeah, we're trying to make veebers happen.) * Fill out the Good Game survey here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHh-KMSm9fc-ht9DzEyIT4oJR9w62qM_E5mUtYYC4kDKV9FQ/viewform?usp=dialog] * Read the statement from the U.S. women’s volleyball team here [https://www.instagram.com/p/DZqatFaH94Z/?img_index=1] * Ketra Armstrong’s profile and research can be found here [https://www.kines.umich.edu/directory/ketra-armstrong] * Read about Freddy’s World Cup adventures here [https://www.deseret.com/sports/2026/06/15/why-everyone-loves-freddy-the-german-soccer-fan/] * You can now WATCH Sarah’s interviews!

Beauty and a Beast with Aneesah Morrow

Connecticut Sun forward and double-double machine Aneesah Morrow joins Sarah to discuss how she’s handling the franchise’s final season in Connecticut, focusing on the moment and not looking ahead to Houston, trying to strike a balance between fair criticism and hype when doing side quests as a broadcaster, and how LSU prepared her to handle gossip in the WNBA space. Oh, and how she got those abs -- that Ab-neesah nickname is for real.

Rollerblading Into Lake Mendota with Lacey Eden

Four-time NCAA champion at the University of Wisconsin and 2026 PWHL Draft prospect Lacey Eden joins Sarah ahead of Wednesday night’s draft. They discuss Lacey’s record-breaking college career, how she’s preparing for the draft later this week, and rollerblading into a large body of water. (And Lacey also makes Sarah cry a little bit while talking about not making the 2026 Winter Olympic team.) Plus, one twin wins, dueling 40-burgers, and practice makes perfect – okay maybe not perfect, but good enough.  * Fill out the Good Game survey here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHh-KMSm9fc-ht9DzEyIT4oJR9w62qM_E5mUtYYC4kDKV9FQ/viewform?usp=dialog] * Watch Sarah’s warm-up and official first pitch at the AUSL game here [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZlmqROhTy7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] * Check out @tattood.cloth on Instagram here [https://www.instagram.com/tattood.cloth/] * You can now WATCH Sarah’s interviews!

Controlling the Narrative: Tribeca X with Phil Cook, Keia Clarke, and Rachel Epstein

Sarah sits down with WNBA CMO Phil Cook, New York Liberty CEO Keia Clarke, and NWSL CMO Rachel Epstein for a Tribeca X panel at Spring Studios in New York City. The group discusses the barriers and obstacles that long delayed the cultural moment women’s sports are now having, how major TV networks both reflect and dictate how women’s sports are covered and sold, the importance of storytelling, and how leagues and teams can improve awareness and enable access to their content. Plus, dropping out by default, wanting to stay but being forced to leave, and a friend of the show has a nice welcome-to-the-big-leagues moment. * Fill out the Good Game survey here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHh-KMSm9fc-ht9DzEyIT4oJR9w62qM_E5mUtYYC4kDKV9FQ/viewform?usp=dialog] * The AUSL schedule is here [https://theausl.com/schedule] * You can now WATCH Sarah’s interviews!
