Episode 51: NBA and NHL playoffs, MSU athlete and survivor Lindsey Lemke, and gender & youth sports

It's a playoff party! Shireen, Amira and Brenda first chat about NBA and NHL postseason play. Then Lindsay interviews Nassar survivor and current Michigan State student Lindsey Lemke about the many ways her university has let her and the other survivors down this year, and why she and her Sister Survivors will keep fighting for change. And Shireen, Amira, and Brenda dive into a complicated discussion about recent claims that girls become better athletes if they play with boys. The crew talks about the benefits of both coed and single-sex sports. As always, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, Bad Ass Women of the Week, and what’s good in our worlds.
