#147 - Sports, sexism, and success: A dialogue with Journalist Zoë George
To start the week off, I dive into the captivating world of women's sports with special guest and senior sports journalist, Zoë George. From a music journalist to a finalist for Longform Sports Journalist of the Year, Zoë shares her unique journey and insights on women's sports, its growth, and the challenges that come with it. 🏉 We discuss everything from the bandwagon fans to the gender pay gap in New Zealand's sports. Zoë also enlightens me about the strides the government is taking to bridge these gaps in cricket and rugby, the inspiring feats of Kiwi athletes, and much more. But it's not all glory and victories... We tackle the tough topics, confronting the mental health struggles athletes face and the importance of normalising these conversations within sports. So tune in for an enlightening and honest conversation!🎧🗣️
