Let’s kick it!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz kick things off by chatting through the latest in women’s footy — including the retirement of top international goalscorer Christine Sinclair from the CanWNT and the Jamaican women’s national team’s refusal to play due to “constant mistreatment.”

Then after the break, co-producer Lauren Tuiskula sits down with former USWNT star and current Angel City FC striker Sydney Leroux to chat bicycle kicks, injury recovery, being a superhero soccer mom, and all things NWSL. LFG!

Start your engines!

The Formula 1 World Driver’s Championship may have already been won during a scorching hot weekend in Qatar, but the fun is far from over. On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz will get you up-to-speed with everything you need to know before Austin Grand Prix weekend, where the all-female F1 Academy will also be closing out their inaugural season with their first-ever international broadcast.

Then after the break, the gals are chatting it up with F1 Academy’s Rodin Carlin driver and Alpine Academy junior Abbi Pulling about her career, F1 Academy, and what it’s like to be a woman in a male-dominated sport. Let’s hit the gas.

Hello, there!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-host Steph Rotz and guest host Lauren Tuiskula highlight two baseball barrier breakers: (now former) Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng, who knew her worth and stepped away from the role on Monday, and San Francisco Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken, who recently made history as the first woman to interview for an MLB manager job. Watch your step — there’s some shattered glass on the dirt.

Then for part two, Steph and Lauren tackle the gridiron for a midseason NCAA football check-in. From the top contenders to the hardware favorites, they’ll catch you up to speed before the second half of the season kicks off this weekend. Hut, hut, here we go.
