Hey, hi, hello!
It’s a women’s sports two-parter on today’s episode of The GIST of It! First, guest Robyn Pearson, The GIST’s own senior social media producer, stops by to spill all the tea on the WNBA All-Star weekend to co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz.
Then after the break, El and Steph dive into the injured icons we won’t be watching on the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup pitch, plus some of the on-field drama already occurring Down Under. With the action officially underway in just two days, the competition’s heating up!
