170. Host and Creator Megan Reyes

Over the past few years, Megan Reyes has emerged as one of the most engaging voices in sports, covering everything from women's soccer and basketball to the X Games and Olympics. A first generation Filipino-American, her four-part audio documentary "Between Two Worlds" covered the Philippines women's national soccer team's journey to the 2023 World Cup, and she is currently the host of "The Good Follow Show" on DraftKings Network. From her love of the beautiful game to her passion for the culture that surrounds it, Megan was a perfect fit for the Urban Pitch Podcast, and our conversation ranged from how she found her love for sports, to her Filipino background, to the growth of women's sports in recent years. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
