Burn It All Down

At the top of the show Lindsay, Brenda, Shireen, and Jessica talk about animals. Yay, animals! [5:53] Then we dive into the Olympics! First up, the crew talks about Olympic qualifying in women’s basketball and soccer. [20:05] Jessica interviews three-time olympian and flamethrower, Elana Meyers Taylor, about her journey from professional softballer, to bobsledding champion, to a couple caps on the USA rugby team, and also her pregnancy and being a world-class pregnant athlete. [37:35] Finally, we once again discuss the garbage fire that is USA Gymnastics, Michigan State, and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee [TW for this segment and discussion of sexual assault]. [51:46] Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, [1:04:31] the Bad Ass Woman of the Week segment, starring Candice Lee, [1:07:34] and what is good in our worlds.
