Sportscaster host Elle Duncan is on Hurdle this week to talk about career trajectory, from local radio to the national spotlight, and how each step shaped her. She opens up about the pivotal moments that taught her to prioritize her well-being over people-pleasing, including a surprisingly positive layoff and the challenges of working in a demanding market like Boston. She also shares her refreshingly candid perspective that "work/life balance" doesn't actually exist, and the exciting curveball ESPN threw her right before maternity leave.

Get a free sample pack on us!This week on Your Diet Sucks, we're digging into one of the most misunderstood—and over-marketed—topics in endurance sports: nutrition for female athletes.You've probably heard the myths: women should eat for their body type, avoid carbs during their cycle, or that we're not just small men when it comes to fueling. But most of that advice isn't based on solid science; it's based on outdated research, rigid stereotypes, and a whole lot of pseudoscience.In this episode, Kylee and Zoë unpack:​Why most sports science has ignored female athletes for decades​How hormonal fluctuations, birth control, and life stage transitions affect fueling​What's actually different about female endurance physiology​The truth about somatotypes (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) and why they're BS​Evidence-backed nutrition strategies for training, recovery, and long-term health​Why research gaps are still being filled by grifters, and how to stay skepticalWhether you're menstruating, on birth control, pregnant, postpartum, or in perimenopause—or you coach or care about someone who is—this episode is your myth-busting guide to what women really need to fuel their performance.Thanks to Janji for supporting the podcast!

“All you have to do, I tell myself, is keep your mouth shut and look stupid. It shouldn't be that hard.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale.Last month, Margaret Hoover lobbed Hillary Clinton with sickeningly sweet softball questions for a lengthy interview about her new book. What book was it? Who knows, and who cares? Whatever it is, almost nothing in it will be the truth.When asked what advice she would give to the first woman president, Hillary paused — a pregnant pause that seemed to say, “Well, why can't it still be me?” as the audience laughed. Then, she said, “Don't be a Handmaiden for the patriarchy,” like all the women on the Right.But she's wrong. Republican women aren't the Handmaids. On the contrary, they've put the so-called “feminists” to shame. They aren't afraid of the fanatics on the Left who tried to force all of us into compliance. They have spoken out without mincing words about scientific and biological reality.Most importantly, they have been the only women in government willing to stare down the cult that seeks to erase women. Not a single Democrat has that kind of courage, male or female. But it's those who call themselves “feminists” who have been exposed as cowards and frauds. They are the real Handmaids.I didn't use to think so. I thought Hillary Clinton fought for the rights of women and girls. That's how she sold herself, anyway, and liberal women like me bought the lie. I even downloaded an audio copy of The Handmaid's Tale, thinking it would resonate with me as part of the “resistance.”But as the story unfolded, a chill went down my spine. It didn't remind me of the Right. It reminded me of the Left, everything that had happened to us after Trump won the first time, and how quickly mass hysteria consumed us and how obedient we all became in the wake of it.As if to prove my point, I knew I could not tell my friends we were the side living the Handmaid's Tale. As I began to pull away from my fellow comrades on the Left and directly challenge the new rules of the Woke, I thought some women who called themselves leaders would rise up and speak out. They never did.When I realized that the transgender social contagion had captured a generation of young girls and boys, and how so many of them were waking up to what happened to them at the hands of professionals, therapists, clinicians, and experts, I waited for strong female leaders to stand up for them, to protect them. They never did.When the fanatics on the Left rewrote the rules of biological reality, like there is no difference between men and women, that “trans women are women,” whether they're competing in sports, Jeopardy, or Chess. I thought the strong female leaders who fought so hard for Title IX would speak up and fight for women and girls to compete fairly. They never did.Hillary Clinton's silence on these fundamental rights to protect women and children has been deafening. Even though her history will be written by pandering sycophants like I used to be, who will never call her out for her silence and complicity, some of us will never forget.She and the other “feminists” leave quite a legacy. A whole generation of young women raised to sell themselves out, women like Olympic athlete Simone Biles, who exposed herself as a Handmaid on X by attacking Riley Gaines in a deeply personal way, calling her a “sore loser.”But imagine if Biles had to compete against biological men. Would she stand by and say nothing? Would she chant “trans women are women”?The real fight for women's rights, and the rights of children, has exposed the so-called feminists like Hillary Clinton, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and every female Democrat in Congress as too weak and ineffectual ever to be real leaders.They've turned a blind eye to stories of girls being forced to share a dorm with a man pretending to be a woman whose visible erection gave him away. They said nothing when a sex offender infiltrated the Wi Spa in Los Angeles and exposed himself to little girls and women, with protesters outside chanting Trans Women are Women.The Democrats haven't just gone along with it; they've gaslighted and shamed any Republican who dares to try to end the madness. They work hard every day to make sure young girls are told they do not have the right to speak up for their own protection, for fairness in sports, because it will ruin their lives if they do.Handmaids don't speak out. They can't. Handmaids do as they're told. Handmaids live in fear. Handmaids bow to their authoritarian leader. That's not the women on the Right, Hillary, that's you.Whatever the feminist movement used to be, it's been hijacked by approval-seeking narcissists who cling to abortion as the only act of empowerment they have left. They do not realize that all that does is further erode the rights of women. If babies don't matter, then mothers don't matter. If mothers don't matter, civilization collapses.The first thing cults do is separate children from their mothers. It's easy to see why. If you break that bond, they can be more easily controlled—both the women and the children.Like Hillary Clinton, Simone Biles might not know what Riley Gaines has suffered when she was trapped in a classroom and held hostage as activists surrounded her, screamed at her, and mocked her fear—all of giving a speech.Instead, Biles and the rest of the Handmaids of the Left have basked in the adoration bestowed upon them by the cult that rewards them for their obedience.But because of their “don't ask, don't tell” strategy of dealing with a problem they can't solve, it's been left up to a growing chorus of voices speaking out - loudly, boldly, and without fear.What does Hillary think that Trump, the man she called a rapist and a misogynist did what she never could, that he signed an Executive Order to protect women in sports.What does she think about his proclamation that it's time to end the madness of “gender-affirming care?” Does it bother her that a man has done the dirty work? Who knows, no one will ever ask her that question. She exists in her own insular bubble, a padded cell that keeps the hard questions out.But the man she insists we should all fear is the one who helped rescue women and children from the clutches of fanaticism.It Takes a Village to De-Trans AmericaThe list of those who have stuck their necks out includes women and men from all backgrounds, on the Left and the Right. Megyn Kelly has become a singular force in the movement. As her media empire has grown, so has her voice. Her videos are seen by millions every day. The story of how this war was won cannot be told without her.The women of the Right that Hillary Clinton smeared deserve much credit, too, for staring down the cult and using their power in Congress to give victims a platform.Many women who still consider themselves Democrats are out there fighting, uniting with Republicans to pass legislation, like Jamie Reed, a former gender clinician who now goes state to state, ensuring bills protecting children from “gender affirming care” are passed.Those the Left shunned and exiled for speaking inconvenient truths are also out there fighting, like Jennifer Sey, who has launched a clothing company called XX-YY Athletics, which celebrates female athletes and points out the differences between the sexes.Here is their latest ad.And then there are the parents who are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore.Outspoken Detransitioners like Chloe Cole and Prisha Mosley have given a face to the destructive effects of social contagion.There are even many in the gay and trans communities who understand cultists have hijacked their movement, and many of them are out there fighting too./// This is a public episode.

There's something beyond special about coach Diljeet Taylor; as the head of BYU's women's track and field program, she's made a massive impact on young women. But Coach Taylor's leadership goes well beyond the BYU campus, as a leader for Nike's Swoosh TC in Utah and a figurehead for women in sport. In today's episode, she talks about the difficult decisions she had to make as the daughter of Indian immigrants to deviate away from the blueprint that was set out for her. She shares how she garnered the self-belief and courage to carve her own path, leading her to pursue her passion for running and ultimately become one of the most respected coaches in her field. We talk about the importance of “in order to be her you need to see her,” and how she shows up on the days where she doesn't feel so confident.

Elon Musk has deleted some of his tweets about President Trump and showed support for his leadership as Los Angeles burns to the ground under Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass. It all started when Assemblyman Jose Luis Solache Jr. saw ICE agents going into a federal ICE facility in Los Angeles. As a panicked Jose started live streaming the agents, a crowd grew outside the facility until the ICE agents found themselves under attack. With encouragement from La Mayor Karen Bass, this mob grew angry and violent until absolute chaos erupted. As cars are set on fire and rocks are hurled at ICE agents and L.A. sheriff's, President Trump had finally seen enough. President Trump mobilized and federalized the California National Guard, usurping Gavin Newsom's authority. I break down the entire timeline in today's show, including Gavin Newsom, once again, proving he is a feckless leader. Penny Nance then joins me to discuss protecting girls and women in sports. This is on the heels of Simone Biles attacking and body shaming Riley Gaines for calling out a softball team whose star player is a biological boy. Penny unpacks this recent spat and the broader issue as a whole. The big, beautiful bill will end funding for trans surgeries for minors, which up until now has been funded by Medicaid.

It's that time of year! It's time to take A Look Inside

Chuck Todd begins with the apparent de-escalation of the feud between Donald Trump and Elon and why the power imbalance between the two meant that Elon would be forced to back down. Then, he explains why Trump is deliberately manufacturing a crisis by federalizing the National Guard and sending them to LA to deal with protests over ICE raids. He calls it a “political trap” set by Stephen Miller and that the administration has chosen to use California as a political punching bag. He also weighs in on the crisis of leadership at the DNC after an internal call was leaked to the press and why it could be the end of Ken Martin's time as chair.Then, Chuck welcomes filmmaker Chase Joynt and Congresswoman Sarah McBride to discuss the documentary "State of Firsts," which chronicles McBride's historic journey as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. Joynt explains the origins of the film and the decision to focus on McBride's political coming of age amid the intensifying national debate over trans rights. The conversation explores the broader LGBTQ civil rights movement, the challenges of media coverage around trans issues, and how Trump has weaponized transgender Americans as political scapegoats. They discuss the ongoing tensions within the gay community about whether the fight for trans rights is "worth it," and examine how civil rights have historically advanced incrementally through strategic battles.McBride joins the conversation to reflect on the personal toll of being thrust into the spotlight as a symbol for an entire community while trying to serve her Delaware constituents effectively. She discusses the unique pressures that come with being the "first" of any identity group in Congress, the performance incentives that can bring out the worst in politicians, and her approach to picking battles strategically rather than fighting on every front. The discussion touches on Delaware's distinctive political dynamics, her relationship with President Biden, the complexities of the trans women in sports debate, and whether she would accept a meeting with Trump. Throughout, both guests emphasize the importance of seeing transgender people as whole individuals rather than reducing them to a single issue, while acknowledging the weight of representation in advancing civil rights.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding filibuster reform in the Senate, whether age limits for lawmakers are a good idea, and whether Trump would be best served resigning the presidency in order to receive a pardon from JD Vance.Timeline:00:00 Introduction01:15 Trump backs off when dealing with rich and powerful people02:15 Elon is a bridge between MAGA and the tech elite03:00 Steve Bannon says Musk's money might have made the difference in election05:00 Trump is always for sale, but the deals aren't stable 06:15 Musk is powerful but not irreplaceable 07:00 Trump could destroy Musk's companies before his term ends08:45 The fate of our country hinges on a pissing match between two powerful people10:15 Voters think all politicians are equally corrupt11:00 The Trump administration is trying to manufacture a crisis in Los Angeles12:30 What you're reading and seeing online isn't what's happening on the ground13:30 Majority of voters want immigration enforced, but humanely and with due process15:00 Stephen Miller believes he's setting up a political trap16:15 The administration wants to use California as a cultural punching bag18:00 DNC chair Ken Martin caught on recording saying he might not be up to the job20:00 Martin defined himself as a placeholder with doubts20:45 Democrats don't know who's in charge, or who they want to be in charge21:45 Ken Martin will be defined by this moment24:00 Chase Joynt joins the Chuck ToddCast! 25:00 What was the origin of "State of Firsts"? 26:45 Were there any ground rules or "no goes" when creating the film? 28:00 Sarah's ascent to Congress amidst the brewing fight over trans rights 29:45 Is the debate over trans rights being "worth it" still happening in gay community? 31:00 Does the fight for trans rights feel like two steps forward, one step back? 32:30 The value in unearthing the history of the fight for equal LBGTQ rights 34:20 They chose to tell the story of Sarah's political coming of age 36:15 Frustrations with media coverage of the fight for trans rights? 37:00 Trump understands that he created a scapegoat 38:00 The fight over trans women in sports 39:00 Had Chase ever done a political documentary before "State of Firsts"? 41:00 What did you learn about how politics is conducted? 42:30 Politics dominates the public space in America 44:00 What surprised you most after being around congress? 45:15 Being the "first" of an identity group in congress 47:30 The pressure on McBride of being forced to speak on behalf of an entire community 48:45 Civil rights have always been advanced incrementally 51:40 Worried that the Democratic party will abandon the trans community?53:10 Sarah McBride joins the Chuck ToddCast! 53:40 Was it hard to let people into your private life for the documentary? 54:55 Managing the burden of being a symbol for the trans community 57:10 The pressure that comes with being the "first" representative of an identity group 58:40 Delaware voters were able to see her as a whole person and not just trans 1:00:10 Was it easier to be bipartisan in state government than in Congress? 1:01:25 The performance incentives in Congress can bring out the worst in people 1:04:25 The political dynamics of Delaware 1:06:10 Delaware's status as the home of corporate America 1:09:40 Other states don't have the legal framework to outcompete Delaware for incorporations 1:10:25 Is the criticism of Biden fair? 1:13:10 Hakeem Jeffries is doing a fantastic job managing the caucus 1:14:55 Should Democrats extend an olive branch to Elon Musk? 1:15:40 Is someone who embraces trans rights but not in sports an ally? 1:16:40 Sports governing bodies should oversee the trans women in sports issue 1:18:40 Worried about backlash from the trans community for not fighting hard enough? 1:20:10 Civil rights movements have to pick their battles 1:23:40 Would you accept an invitation from Trump for an oval office meeting? 1:24:40 What achievements in Congress would you consider success? 1:26:10 Did you ever dream of becoming president as a kid?1:27:05 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Sarah McBride 1:28:05 Ask Chuck 1:28:15 If the Big Beautiful Bill doesn't pass, should the Senate end the filibuster? 1:31:20 Thoughts on Andor season 2? 1:33:55 Are age limits for elected officials a good idea? 1:36:35 Would Trump's best outcome be resigning and having Vance pardon him?(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)

In this episode of Pro Mindset® Podcast, host Craig Doman sits down with Angela R. Lewis—former professional basketball player, NCAA coach, author, and operations leader—to explore the powerful intersections of sport, identity, and personal growth. Angela reflects on her journey from scoring more than 1,000 points in college basketball to playing professionally overseas, coaching more than 500 athletes, and becoming a mentor and voice for women in sports. She opens up about the evolving landscape of college athletics, including the impact of NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing pressure on young athletes to define their worth through performance.Episode Takeaways:● Confidence fluctuates; belief must remain constant.● Athletes often struggle with identity outside of sports.● Playing internationally opens up cultural connections and personal growth.Together, Craig and Angela dive deep into what it really means to have confidence versus belief, how athletes can redefine their identities beyond the game, and why embracing your unique path is the key to long-term success. Angela also previews her upcoming book, Keep Bouncing Forward, a guide to staying grounded and resilient when life knocks you off course.
