Christine Brennan is a groundbreaking sports journalist, author, and commentator who has covered every Summer and Winter Olympics since 1984. As the first woman sports writer at the Miami Herald and the first woman to cover the Washington Redskins (now the Commanders) for the Washington Post, Christine has spent decades breaking barriers and shaping sports journalism. She’s a regular contributor to CNN, ABC, PBS, and NPR, and her most recent book, On Her Game, about basketball sensation Caitlin Clark, debuted at number two on the New York Times bestseller list.
In this episode, Christine sits down with Christina to discuss her journey from a sports-loving girl in Ohio to one of the most respected voices in sports media. She shares stories from her pioneering career, including covering the NFL during the Redskins’ glory years, the Nancy Kerrigan–Tonya Harding saga, the rise of women’s sports icons, and her front-row seat to Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise. Christine also reflects on the progress and challenges for women in sports, the importance of Title IX, and the lasting impact of telling untold stories.
