In a surprising shift from fashion to hoop dreams, Kim Kardashian hinted she might own a WNBA team someday, tying her SKIMS brand vision to empowering women in sports and affirming her desire to use influence beyond entertainment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The U.S. hit the pause button today as the federal government officially shut down after Congress failed to pass funding—a move that leaves many nonessential agencies idle, furloughs hundreds of thousands of workers, and forces essential staff to work without pay while agencies brace for chaotic ripple effects. Meanwhile, in a surprising shift from fashion to hoop dreams, Kim Kardashian hinted she might own a WNBA team someday, tying her SKIMS brand vision to empowering women in sports and affirming her desire to use influence beyond entertainment. In legal headlines, prosecutors urged an 11-plus year sentence for Diddy, citing his convicted role in arranging prostitution across state lines and emphasizing the severity of his offenses even as his defense calls for leniency.

In this episode of the Practice Brave podcast, I catch up with my longtime friend and fellow athlete mom, Michaela North. Michaela is one of the OGs in the CrossFit space—an individual competitor, a CrossFit Games team champion, and now the founder of Hungry Fitness, where she leads a team of coaches supporting women through all stages of life with nutrition and training. We reflect on more than a decade of pregnancies, postpartums, and athletic pursuits, sharing how much (and how little) has changed in the resources available to moms in sport. Together, we talk about the importance of adaptability, the myth of “all or nothing” in motherhood and fitness, and how these lessons set us up for long-term health, performance, and fulfillment. This conversation is both nostalgic and forward-looking—celebrating how far we've come while recognizing the work that's still needed to support women in every stage of motherhood and athleticism.

This week, we step into the heart and soul of America's pastime. In this nostalgic episode, Mike sits down with Jonna Perlinger, the driving force behind Babe's Babes Media, to explore how baseball isn't only a sport — it's a legacy, a love language, and a way to keep the memories of those we cherish alive. From childhood living rooms turned into stadiums and sacred Yankees memorabilia that defined family bonds, to the modern-day mission of creating space for women's voices in a traditionally male-dominated field — this conversation hits every note: nostalgia, inspiration, and pure passion for the game. Whether you grew up watching games on the couch with your dad, collecting cards with your brother, or cheering from the stands with your daughter — this episode is a home run. It's about more than baseball. It's about belonging. It's about legacy. And it's about rewriting the future of the game, one voice at a time. IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️Breaking Down Baseball as Legacy ➡️The Rise of Babe's Babes Media ➡️Breaking Barriers in a Male-Dominated Field ➡️The Power of Storytelling in Sports

When South African runner Caster Semenya dominated international competitions, sports authorities demanded she prove she was “really” a woman. The rules they created—targeting women with intersex traits or naturally higher testosterone—have since reshaped the future of women's sports.In this episode of Entitled, we unpack the controversial regulations of World Athletics, the recent European Court of Human Rights ruling, and the wider human rights questions at stake. Are these policies about fairness—or about enforcing outdated ideas of gender? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Emily Duggan's story is a perfect example of why it's important to share the stories of women in sport.When Emily was a little girl, she was watching TV one weekend and came across the Supercar motor racing series here in Australia and was instantly hooked.However Emily, in that moment, also realised there were no women racing and thought it was a “boy's sport” and put it to the back of her mind (as the saying goes, “you can't be what you can't see”).Thankfully the voice that whispered to Emily that day never disappeared and as soon as she started working, she began saving for her first racing car - and hasn't looked back since.In 2016, Emily became the 1st female driver to race in the V8 Touring Car Series here in Australia and now in 2019 is racing in the Super3 series (which is the 3rd tier in the Supercar series here).And sometime soon, I know we'll see Emily line up on the start of the iconic Bathurst 1000 race (a race I've promised to watch, for the first time ever, when she does!).Emily shares her story with me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.
One of the main themes that run through many of my conversations on Sparta Chicks Radio is around the concept that “you can't be what you can't see”.This week's guest is on a mission to change what you can see - and by extension, be.Mary Konstantopoulos is a lawyer who, in her “spare time”, is the force behind the “Ladies Who” media company - or dare I say growing empire - that advocates for, and shares stories of, women in sport here in Australia.She hosts two podcasts on the ABC Grandstand radio network; Ladies Who League (about rugby league) and Ladies Who Legspin (about cricket).Mary's passion for sport developed as a result of her desire to spend more time with her Dad who was (and remains) a passionate Parramatta Eels supporter in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition.Yet she describes in this conversation a sense of shame she sometimes feels because it never occurred to her to ask if women also played the sport.In this conversation, we discuss:- how her life has revolved around sport since she was a young child growing up with her two brothers,- why she was motivated to throw herself into all sports as a kid (despite not being very good at any of them),- what prompted her to launch the ‘Ladies Who League' blog (which at the time was about the men's competition),- the evolution of the ‘Ladies Who' media company,- her experience with the Imposter Complex,- why it's important to give yourself credit for your hard work and success, rather than attributing it to luck, and- how she deals with online trolling and public criticism.

This month's headlines are stranger than fiction — and the conspiracy-fueled chaos is only heating up.The WNBA is under attack — not from critics, but from flying sex toys. Multiple games were interrupted as fans hurled brightly colored dildos onto the court, prompting outrage from players and coaches. A meme-coin group, "Green Dildo Coin," claimed responsibility for some of the stunts, allegedly to promote their launch. Arrests have been made, and the league has promised swift bans and legal action. But behind the absurdity lies a deeper issue — the ongoing disrespect and sexualization of women in sports.President Trump's silence over Labor Day sparked a viral death hoax that spiraled out of control. With no major appearances for six days, rumors of his failing health took over social media, amplified by images of swollen ankles and bruised hands. When Trump finally reappeared — smirking at a Fox News reporter's joke about his “death” — the internet had already run wild. Is this just a case of online hysteria, or is something more being hidden?Down in Georgia, a massive immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant led to 475 arrests — most of them Korean nationals. The operation is the largest workplace crackdown yet under the current Trump administration, with questions swirling around subcontractors and labor practices.Also in the mix:Boxing shocker: Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is happening — two legends in one unbelievable exhibition match.Will Smith accused of using AI-generated crowds in his tour promo — glitchy fingers, warped faces, and the growing fear of deepfakes.Florida's vaccine wars escalate as the Surgeon General calls to eliminate all mandates, sparking national backlash.And Epstein survivors take justice into their own hands, vowing to compile their own “client list” and demanding full transparency from Congress.It's a wild month — let's get into it.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast
