Episode 54: Moving on from Gendered Violence and Becky Hammon Gets An Interview

On this week’s show, Amira, Shireen, Jessica, and Brenda talk about two sexual assault cases (Oregon State and Detroit Lions) that are in the news even though the cases themselves are years, even decades, old. They discuss about when, or maybe if, there is a time to move on. Then they break down all the noise around reports that Becky Hammon will interview for the Milwaukee Bucks’ head coaching position, the first woman to ever do so. Finally, Amira interviews Theresa Runstedtler, Professor of History at American University, about her time as a dancer for the Toronto Raptors, and her views on recent reports about exploitation and equity issues concerning NFL Cheerleaders. Of course, we cap it off by burning things that deserve to be burned, doing shout outs to women who deserve shout outs, and telling y'all what is good in our worlds.
