LAUGHTER PERMITTED: PODCAST HOSTED BY SOCCER LEGEND JULIE FOUDY HIGHLIGHTS FEMALE TRAILBLAZERS IN SPORTS


Julie Foudy, are you listening? I've tuned into all ten episodes of Laughter Permitted, and I am ready for more!

In the podcast that was launched in March of this year, soccer legend, Olympian, analyst, reporter and the founder of the Sports Leadership Academy for girls interviews female trailblazers in sports.

One of the great things about this podcast is its unpretentious, down-to-earth vibe.  Julie manages to highlight just how spectacular each of these women is, while also allowing them space to talk about struggles and the stuff of their everyday lives that others can relate to.  Julie's sense of fun is infectious, as evidenced by the laughter she elicits in her guests

The guest list so far includes these women athletes:  Abby Wambach; Simone Biles; Kerri Walsh Jennings;  Jessica Mendoza; Mia Hamm;  Mikaela Shiffrin; Sydney Leroux Dwyer; Mary Carillo; Simone Manuel & Katie LeDecky; and Allyson Felix.

My nominees for other interviewees:  Janet Guthrie, Claressa Shields, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Surya Bonaly, and Katelyn Ohashi.
