Crashing the old boys' club of sports journalism | Suzanne McFadden

Grey Areas with Petra Bagust

Ready for a hearty conversation with a trailblazer in women's sports journalism? We welcome Suzanne McFadden, an acclaimed sports journalist who's been championing women's sports in a male-dominated field.

Suzanne's grit and determination have not only helped her break barriers but also led her to establish Locker Room, a platform dedicated to showcasing women's sports. She's also a Silver Sister and you know how much we love them!

We dive into the heart of Suzanne's career, discussing the evolution of women's sports coverage and the challenges she faced being the only woman in a sports newsroom, shedding light on the highs and lows of her journey.

We also hear about the support she received from her family and friends during her decade as a solo mum, her delightful love story, and discovering her Māori whakapapa. Suzanne's journey is one of resilience and I cannot wait for you to hear this one!
