For decades, Renée Richards lived with an intensely private struggle over her gender identity while building an accomplished life as an athlete, physician, husband and father. Through it all, tennis remained one of the few constants. Before transitioning in the mid-1970s, Richards - then known as Richard "Dick" Raskind - had been a gifted amateur tennis player, Yale graduate, Navy veteran and successful ophthalmologist. But beneath those achievements was a lifelong conflict Richards later described as a battle between "Dick" and "Renée," one she tried unsuccessfully to resolve through years of psychoanalysis before ultimately deciding to live as a woman. After transitioning, Richards moved to Southern California and returned to competitive tennis, this time in women's events. When her previous identity became public in 1976, a deeply personal journey suddenly became an international sports controversy. Tennis officials required Richards to pass a chromosome test to enter major women's tournaments; she refused, setting off a remarkable legal battle that included an unlikely attorney in Roy Cohn, critical support from Billie Jean King and a landmark 1977 court victory allowing her to compete in the U.S. Open. Sports journalist Julie Kliegman joins the podcast this week to tell Richards' extraordinary and often misunderstood story through her new biography, "Finding Renée Richards: The Groundbreaking Story of Tennis's Trans Pioneer." Kliegman takes us through Richards' long path toward transition, the media frenzy and cultural backlash that followed, her professional tennis career (including a 1978 turn with World Team Tennis' peripatetic New Orleans Sun Belt Nets), and later work with Martina Navratilova - as well as Richards' complicated reassessment of the very fight that made her a historic figure. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK: "Finding Renée Richards: The Groundbreaking Story of Tennis's Trans Pioneer": https://amzn.to/45slUTV     SPONSOR THANKS:  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.royalretros.com/?ref=SEATS Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

On September 20, 1973, tennis star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in “The Battle of the Sexes,” notching a victory for feminism, women's athletes, and societal equality. In America's collective memory, the iconic sporting event was on the up and up. But what if Riggs, a man nicknamed “The Happy Hustler,” needed money so badly that he threw the match? Was the fix in?

Send us Fan MailResh and Stef are riding high off WNBA All-Star weekend, Napa wine, and 2,500 downloads — then the WTA had to go and ruin everyone's summer.While the world was watching Wimbledon, the WTA quietly posted a brand-new genetic testing policy to their website on July 19th — no press release, no announcement, first reported by Ben Rothenberg at *Bounces*. It took effect July 1st, enforcement started July 21st. Blink and you missed the rollout; players may have found out the same time we did.Out with the old 2024 testosterone-monitoring system (which only applied if you self-declared or were "under investigation" — always a red flag phrase). In with a one-time, mandatory SRY gene test for *every* WTA player, full stop.The guy who *discovered* the SRY gene in 1990, Andrew Sinclair, is on record saying this test is basically useless for what they're using it for — presence of the gene tells you nothing about function. Resh walks through why this test has already failed spectacularly before (IOC dropped it in 1999 after eight Atlanta athletes tested "positive" with zero competitive advantage).This isn't happening in a vacuum — it lines up with the Supreme Court's West Virginia v. B.P.J. ruling, a Heritage Foundation report gunning for Title IX, and the IOC's own policy reversal ahead of LA 2028. Stef traces the receipts back to a 2021 "Women's Sports Policy Working Group" that included Martina Navratilova — who is, notably, denying any influence on this policy. Sure, Martina.The hosts go deep on the historical pattern — gender testing disproportionately targeting women of color and DSD athletes, with Caster Semenya's decade-long fight getting a shoutout. Also: Linda Nosková's Wimbledon championship photo got used in an Out Sports piece about this policy, and she was (rightly) not here for it.Billie Jean King and Semenya call it discrimination. Navratilova calls it progress. Chris Evert is, predictably, one step behind Martina. And Resh has some thoughts about John Isner's serve and Michael Phelps's wingspan never having to pass a permission slip.WNBA All-Star chaos, Pride Nights, the ongoing *Love Island*-style saga of who's dating whom in the league (someone please make the relationship chart official), and a Carla Leite sighting.See you out there, OWLs (Out Wide Listeners)Support the showInstagram : Out_Wide_PodcastJingle : https://www.nelaruizcomposer.com/Logo: https://www.instagram.com/crayonspaghetti/

If you know nothing else about women’s hockey, you probably know Hilary Knight. The 5-time Olympic medalist has played the most games in U.S. Women’s Hockey history. She has also served as the captain of two PWHL teams and is one of the reasons the league exists in the first place. In 2019, Hilary was among several players who vowed to boycott any North American league that was not financially sustainable. In 2022, the players entered into a partnership with Mark Walter and Billie Jean King to launch the PWHL. Four years later, the league is selling out games at MSG and accepting a $100 million investment. In this episode of The Deal, Hilary details for Jason and Alex the process of starting a league where players were partners from the jump and why Mark Walter and Billie Jean King were the right people to work with. She also explains how the momentum from this year’s Olympics bled into the PWHL season and why Heated Rivalry is one of the best things to ever happen to hockey. Finally, she shares her hopes for her post-playing career (spoiler alert! she wants to own a team) and the responsibility of being the face of her sport. Plus, Alex shares a business idea and tells Hilary why she reminds him of NBA Hall of Famer Grant Hill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last year, Milwaukee Film held its inaugural season of “Cinematic Sisterhood,” a series of films that brings well-deserved (and often overdue) attention to the work of women in the industry. Now in the midst of its second go-around, the series will bring Wildwood, NJ to the Oriental Theatre on July 11, which made this episode the perfect time to welcome the perfect guest to the podcast.Tracey Thomas is the co-founder of online service provider Exec-PC and was in the midst of her retirement when she embarked on a project titled My First and Last Film. Released in 2019, the documentary notably featured an all-female crew as Thomas tangled with questions about aging, with Milwaukee Film playing what she called a “very instrumental” role in making the project a reality.Thomas was in the audience for the first year of “Cinematic Sisterhood” and took it upon herself to get more involved this time around. In fact, she's presenting the entire series, which started in June with a screening of Billie Jean King documentary Give Me the Ball!This episode keeps its focus on the documentary yet to come, which has become a classic since its initial 1994 release. Wildwood, NJ has a dream-like quality, courtesy of its heavy use of Super-8 film as it tells the story of “the last great American carnival town.” Like Thomas's project, this is another one created by an all-female team, led by co-director Ruth Leitman, who will be at the Oriental Theatre for a Q&A when the movie screens July 11.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Doors.

With flag football officially heading to the Olympics, there's a bigger story that hasn't been told about the women who play football. Andra Douglas is one of those women. A former national champion in rugby and quarterback in women's tackle football, she later became a creative executive at Atlantic Records—and for nearly two decades owned the two-time national champion New York Sharks women's pro football team. She's been at the center of a sports world most people don't even realize exists. Until now. As women's football finally gets its Olympic spotlight, Andra can speak candidly about: The business, politics, and culture behind women's sports How her career spans both professional sports and the music industry Her personal experience as a female athlete in an often-misunderstood sport Her new novel, Changing Cadence, is part memoir, part novel, and follows a woman facing the end of her career in women's tackle football, while her mother adjusts to life in Florida at an assisted living community. As both women navigate change, an unexpected connection forms between a New York football team and a group of small-town seniors. Andra Douglas' story is both heartfelt and humorous, and her experience in the world of women's sports is sure to delight and inspire your audience. Billie Jean King called her book, "more than a sports story; it is a love letter to those who are committed to being their authentic selves." Andra is thoughtful, funny, and not afraid to challenge the narrative—exactly the kind of voice that sparks a real conversation.

Evonne Goolagong Cawley was on the cover of the April 26, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated, a fitting spotlight for one of tennis's most graceful and naturally gifted champions who was reaching the #1 ranking in the world in late April 50 years ago. Goolagong's presence on the cover also reflected a much broader impact—not just as a star player, but as a trailblazer for Indigenous Australians in international sport. The winner of 7 Grand Slam singles titles, Evonne also won 6 more in double… and this week on Past Our Prime, we're honoring Goolagong by playing a little doubles ourselves with not one, but two guests to reflect back on the brilliance of Evonne. Peggy Michel, Goolagong's frequent doubles partner, was one of the top doubles specialists of her era and won 3 Grand Slam titles with Evonne at the Australian Open and Wimbledon in '74 and the Aussie Open again in 1975. Goolagong could have teamed up with more well known players on the circuit, but she and Peggy were a formidable duo for many years. Peggy Michel, Goolagong's frequent doubles partner, was one of the most accomplished doubles specialists of her era. Known for her sharp net play and tactical awareness, Michel complemented Goolagong's smooth baseline game, helping the pair become a formidable team in major tournaments. Michel's consistency and experience made her an ideal partner, and together they showcased the chemistry and coordination that define elite doubles tennis. Australian player Pam Whytcross was a respected contemporary of Evonne Goolagong Cawley in the 1970s and helped open up the world of tennis to women across the world when in 1973 at the age of 19, she was part of a meeting led by Billie Jean King that helped lay the groundwork for the formation of the Women's Tennis Association, underscoring her role in a pivotal moment for women's tennis. Michel and Whytcross give us a keen insight on one of Australia's greatest athletes , Evonne Goolagong, who was much more than just a tennis star… she was a mother. One of only three women to win a major while also holding done another full-time job… being a mom! Past Our Prime is going down under as we relive one of the best to ever do it—Evonne Goolagong.

Mary Hope McQuiston grew up learning not to make waves, not to get emotional, not to rock the boat. Those lessons followed her into the boardroom. When a male colleague made a sexist comment during a high-stakes presentation, she said nothing. She couldn't even bring herself to tell her husband that night. The shame of her own silence was that heavy. That moment became the turning point. Today, Mary Hope is VP and General Manager of Autodesk's Education Business, a business she helped scale from 5 million to over 235 million users. She's learned not just to speak up for herself, but to build teams and accountability systems where silence doesn't get to win. In this episode, she gets specific about how. You'll learn: The societal conditioning that trains women to suppress their voice, and the values-based trigger that finally broke through it How to hold cross-functional peers accountable when they nod along but never follow through, and the system that actually works Why she fired a trusted high-performing manager not for misconduct, but for failing to surface a toxic situation in his team, and what that decision cost her What a "listening tour" looks like when you're the one who needs to hear, not speak . The Billie Jean King moment she watched at age 6 that became her earliest model for speaking up when the stakes are real If you've ever stayed quiet and paid for it later or led a team where silence was quietly doing damage  this episode is your playbook. About Mary Hope McQuiston: VP and General Manager of Autodesk's Education Business, Mary Hope co-founded Autodesk's consumer and 3D printing business in 2010 and helped scale its user base from 5 million to over 235 million users in four years. She serves on the SkillsUSA board of directors and is a longtime advocate for women's advancement, LGBTQ+ rights, and equal access to education.

Pressure is a privilege, according to Billie Jean King, who said it's what you do with it that matters. Millions of students, however, may beg to disagree about the privilege part, and what many of them do with it impedes rather than elevates their performance. Amy and Mike invited ed tech specialist Deanna Oliver to explore what happens when academic pressure turns into behavioral issues. What are five things you will learn in this episode? How does academic pressure typically show up in schools? Why do some students "act out" while others withdraw or disengage?

This week on The Blizzard with Babyface and Seth, the guys kick things off by explaining why they hate talking politics… and then immediately give their very quick (and very self-aware) take on the war — along with a reminder that absolutely no one is waiting on their geopolitical expertise.From there, it's back to what they do best: sports debates that spiral beautifully. They break down Maxx Crosby and his impact, get into a generational showdown between Caitlin Clark and Billie Jean King, and then tackle the ultimate crossover debate — Michael Jordan vs. Tiger Woods. Dominance, pressure, cultural impact — it's all on the table.Politics avoidance, legendary athletes, and completely unqualified opinions — just another Blizzard.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joyce Scoglietti played slow pitch softball for most of her life. She started at 2nd base in a church league when she was 8 years old and now plays with the Northcoast Vintage Players, a league for 45+.  Joyce was born in 1957, so most of her young athletic career happened before Title IX passed. There were no school sports programs available to her until the 10th grade when she joined competitive volleyball, basketball, and softball teams. She speaks of finally having a uniform, coaches, and referees! Joyce was the recipient of the first award for athlete of the year from Billie Jean King.  Joyce also refereed high school volleyball for 36 years and was the president of the Cleveland Volleyball Officials Association for 15 of those years. During that time she witnessed the level of play rise exceptionally. She tells us what that looked like and how it impacted the reffing.   Joyce and Hear Her Sports host Elizabeth Emery also talk about playing with the boys until puberty, weird gym suits, feeling at home and truly like herself in the gym, the importance of her coaches, and still playing softball for the love of the game.

In the spring of 1974, a bold experiment arrived on the American sports scene: World Team Tennis (WTT) — a mixed-gender professional league co-founded and championed by Billie Jean King, who envisioned a more inclusive, fan-friendly, and forward-looking version of the sport. WTT challenged tennis tradition and reimagined how the game could be played, packaged, and consumed. With innovative scoring, raucous arena atmospheres, and genuine star power, the league aimed to pull tennis out of the country club and into the mainstream. Men and women competed side-by-side, fans were encouraged to cheer, and matches moved at a faster, television-friendly pace. It was daring, disruptive, and unmistakably ahead of its time. The original incarnation of WTT lasted just five seasons, folding in 1978 amid financial losses, franchise instability, and the realities of building a national sports league before modern media economics took hold. Yet its influence — on tennis, sports marketing, and gender equity — continues to echo decades later. John Schwarz, author of"World Team Tennis and the Legacy of a Sports League", joins the pod this week for a revealing conversation that brings rare firsthand perspective to the original circuit's remarkable story. Schwarz is uniquely positioned to tell it: during WTT's initial 1974-78 run, he separately served in the front offices of both the league itself, and then for one of its most emblematic franchises — the Robert Kraft-owned Boston Lobsters.    In many respects, the Lobsters were a lens into WTT itself — a franchise that embodied the league's ambition, creativity, and community appeal, while also confronting the harsh economic truths that ultimately doomed many teams. Despite its short existence, Schwarz explains why WTT mattered, why it struggled, and why its lessons still resonate in today's evolving sports landscape.

Today, I'm once again joined by an amazing speaker, client, and member of The Big Talk community, Kristina DiPalo. Kristina awakens people and organizations stuck between the future they imagined and the one they are living. Leveraging the concept of icons and iconoclasts, she uses her experience as a strategic leader to help clients break worn-out definitions and navigate toward a future of growth and possibility. In our conversation, Kristina shares her journey through a watershed moment—when her roles as wife, daughter, and professional were all shifting—and how reconnecting with the icons of her youth (Debbie Harry, Shirley Chisholm, Billie Jean King, and Millicent Fenwick) helped her realize she'd drifted from who she truly was. In this episode, we'll explore: How to identify your watershed moment—when what you are is out of alignment with who you are—and why the tension you feel is actually a powerful signal for change The difference between the roles you play (mom, professional, partner) and who you truly are at your core Why becoming an iconoclast doesn't mean dramatic life changes, but rather breaking small daily compromises that have steered you away from your authentic self How to use courage and faith to consciously redefine yourself when you realize you're living someone else's definition of who you should be Current Favorites: Books: The Last Temptation of Christ & Love in the Time of Cholera, Speaker: Spalding Gray, and Podcasts: The Iconic Podcast & The Bulwark Podcast More from Kristina DiPalo Her first appearances on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 555 and Episode 578 Website: https://kristinadipalo.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinadipalo/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinadipalo/    More from Tricia  Unlock your potential and grow your speaking business during The Art of The Big Talk, my LIVE Two-Day Virtual Masterclass Join me LIVE for my Free Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
