Ep. 266: Buckle Up! It's the Fall Sports Mayhem Mash-Up Whip-Around

Burn It All Down

In this episode, Amira Rose Davis, Jessica Luther and Lindsay Gibbs recap the current madness of fall sports. But first, they share memorable moments from their live show at the University of Notre Dame. Then, they discuss all things fall and sports, including updates on rookie quarterbacks and the start to the NFL; the MLB post-season; soccer, including English Premier League football standings and both the NWSL and MLS playoffs; F1 racing drama; college sports like football, soccer, volleyball and basketball; and excitement around the newest NBA season. Following this discussion, they preview a special Patreon segment about the rise of pickleball's popularity. Then, you'll here a preview of this week's interview with Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick. Next, they burn some of the worst in sports on the Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those shining light, including Torchbearer of the Week, Elnaz Rebaki, the Iranian climber who recently competed in the IFSC Asian Championship without a hijab, breaking Iran's legal dress code. Though Rebaki has stated climbing without a head covering was an accident, many see it as an act of solidarity with protests in Iran over the murder of Mahsa Amini. They wrap up the show with What's Good and What We're Watching In Sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist.
