Growing up near Boston, Sugar discovered hiking in her early twenties while exploring the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After getting sober at 30, she found herself with the clarity, time and capacity to pursue the life she truly wanted. What followed was a decision to live authentically, prioritise long-distance hiking, and become what she proudly calls a professional dirtbag. In 2021, Sugar set out on the Appalachian Trail. While she knew she was a strong hiker, she also faced the uncertainty of what it would mean to walk the trail as a trans woman. Feeling the isolation of not seeing many stories like her own pushed her to begin writing, speaking openly, and becoming someone other queer and trans hikers could reach out to. Since then, she has become the first known trans woman to complete the Triple Crown of long-distance hiking, founded TrailQTs – a free mentoring programme supporting first-time queer and trans thru-hikers – and in 2024 pioneered the Divide to Crest Route, a 3,000-mile backcountry journey from the Mexican border in New Mexico to the Canadian border in Washington. In 2025, Sugar set a new women's self-supported speed record on the Appalachian Trail southbound, breaking the previous record by more than a day and a half. In this episode, we dive into sobriety, transition, representation, burnout, post-trail blues, building community, and what it really takes to push the body day after day. Sugar also shares practical advice on training, fuelling on a budget, protecting your feet, and why big dreams are built through small, steady steps. This is a conversation about courage, visibility, and creating the path you wish had existed when you started. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time).

Andrew Moore, Luke Lewis, Michael Carayannis and Connor Watson review our first games on Australian soil for season 2026, including a chat with Sharks captain Blayke Brailey after their 50-10 win over Gold Coast on Saturday. Nathan Cleary, Reece Walsh, or other? Who is the best player in the game currently? We hear from chipping and chasing legend Phil Blake, get to know Andrew Moore, and reminisce with Chris Heighington ten years on from Cronulla's 2016 premiership win.00:07 - Six Again06:10 - Blayke Brailey16:29 - Phil Blake25:43 - Getting to Know You - Andrew Moore43:21 - 2016 reflection - Chris Heighington58:16 - Denis Carnahan - That's Rugby League!

This week on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, the guys kick things off with the “Barry Bonds episode,” debating one of the most controversial questions in baseball history: Should Barry Bonds be in the Hall of Fame despite the steroid era? Dan and Frank break down Bonds' legendary talent, his transformation later in his career, and whether his dominance—especially when pitchers were terrified to throw him strikes, still deserves Cooperstown recognition.With the sports calendar in a bit of a lull, the conversation shifts across several leagues and headlines. The crew looks at the NHL trade deadline, why it produced more buzz than actual movement, and then jumps into a surprising NASCAR storyline, including a historic three-race winning streak by one driver from Michael Jordan's team, something never accomplished even by legends like Earnhardt or Petty.The discussion then turns toward the WNBA and the economics of sports, as the hosts debate player salaries, league profitability, and the realities of revenue generation in professional athletics. From ticket sales to merchandise to television ratings, the guys explore the complicated relationship between popularity, viewership, and player compensation.College basketball also gets some attention as March Madness approaches, with Duke and North Carolina preparing for another rivalry clash and bracket season right around the corner. The hosts discuss their early tournament thoughts and plans for their annual bracket challenge.From there, the show dives into the NFL offseason, including reactions to the combine and early predictions for how a chaotic Top 10 in the upcoming draft might unfold. The guys also examine the ever-changing landscape of NIL in college sports, debating whether paying young athletes has permanently altered college athletics, and whether anyone, including the government, could realistically fix the system.Along the way, the crew touches on the World Baseball Classic, Shohei Ohtani's continued dominance, the risks of pitchers going all-out during spring training, and even a bizarre story involving a baseball broadcaster, a chainsaw accident, and a stubborn refusal to go to the hospital.Of course, it wouldn't be Sports Fellowship without some classic back-and-forth debates, especially when it comes to the NBA playoff race, where bold predictions and friendly trash talk fly about which teams actually have a shot at the Finals.It's another lively episode filled with sports analysis, humor, storytelling, and the occasional rabbit trail that only Fox and Frank can deliver.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist Church of Phillipsburg NJ - http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Carrington Harrison explains why he is OUT on the Cleveland Cavaliers with James Harden.

John Combs on State Semi-Finals 2-26 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen

The East is wide open, and the West might be too. Mo Mooncey and Coach Brendan Suhr break down the biggest questions that will define the rest of this NBA season, starting with whether James Harden can finally shake his playoff reputation after a blistering 5-1 start in Cleveland. Is this the best chance he's ever had to win a ring?Then they go deep on a question nobody's really answering: can the Pistons or Spurs reach the Finals without any real playoff experience? Coach Suhr has a strong take - and Mo might have an even stronger one when it comes to Wembanyama and the Spurs' ceiling. Plus, the Jayson Tatum return conspiracy theory is building and the evidence is hard to ignore. Is it happening?They also get into why the Houston Rockets' front office has failed this season despite having months to address the point guard hole, the Charlotte Hornets' stunning emergence as a legitimate force, why the Bucks keep winning games they're supposed to be tanking, and who deserves Coach of the Year. Mo and Coach don't agree on everything - and that's what makes it worth listening to.

The Ringer's Bill Simmons is joined by J. Kyle Mann and Tate Frazier to preview the NBA draft by looking at some of the top prospects before discussing the Spurs' ceiling this season (3:40).

Meanwhile, Victor emerges as the lone elite-tier performer in a sea of dud-level male gameplay, and Brittany's “Christ-like” evaluation of Devonte may be the wildest love-level raise we've ever seen.
