About this listen

Michael explores the story of women’s protest in sport. From Billy Jean King to Naomi Osaka, he digs into why women have found it so difficult to compete on a level playing field. Hope Solo talks to Michael about her fight for equal pay for the US women’s national soccer team and The Queen’s Gambit inspiration Lisa Lane tells of her defiance in the field of chess.

This episode contains strong language and reference to sexual abuse.
