Ep. 206: 2020/21 Olympics: So Many Questions, So Few Answers

Amira Rose Davis, Shireen Ahmed and Jessica Luther start the show with the most random thing they've seen at a sporting event. Then they cover the latest on the Tokyo 2020/2021 Olympics. Will they happen?! If so, How?! They talk about Japan's low vaccination rate and overburdened medical system, the IOC offering the vaccine to competitors and how impossible it feels to determine fairness.   Following the main segment, Amira teases her interview with Bianca Tylek, Founder and Executive Director of Worth Rises about national prison phone justice. Then sports' latest garbage gets torched on the Burn Pile. Next they lift up the people and projects shining brightly, including Torchbearer of the Week: 144, the documentary about last year's WNBA bubble, and Executive Producer Chiney Ogwumike. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what sport they are watching this week.  This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
