Experienced Kiwi sports commentators Suzanne McFadden and Sarah Cowley Ross discuss the growth of women's sport and the key issues females face. Each episode features a special guest - from athletes to coaches and sports leaders - with laughter, and sometimes tears, guaranteed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
