Climate change and the role of sports in a global crisis
Happy Friday Eve!
In honor of last weekend’s Earth Day, co-hosts Ellen and Steph dig into the relationship between climate change and sports, as well as what the sporting world is doing to combat this impending global crisis.
It’s this type of intersectional analysis with sports and the world and how they impact each other that are top of mind for many recently.

Special Edition: From Started from the Bottom: How Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall Made NBA History
Here’s a special episode from another podcast we’ve been enjoying and think you will, too. On Started from the Bottom, host Justin Richmond interviews people with humble origins who managed to scale the summit of success – people who weren’t part of the old boys’ network. Justin recently sat down with Cynt Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks.
Cynt made NBA history when she became the first Black woman to lead an NBA team. In this episode, she takes Justin on her life's journey: surviving domestic violence, a 40-year career at AT&T, and getting a call from Mark Cuban to take over the Mavs. Hear more from Started from the Bottom at apple.co/thebottom.
