Meg tackles the culture, context, and conversations about the sport here in America and beyond, with help from fellow writers and insiders from all corners of the game.

Editors’ Notes: "Something that Jordan and I want to try to do all the time is bring some empathy into sports,” says Haley O’Shaughnessy, cohost of Spinsters, a weekly podcast in which she and cohost Jordan Ligons explore how basketball influences society and vice versa. “It can be very easy to get lost in stats and what's happening on the court. We love those conversations, but we also want to bring feelings into it and human reactions.” In each episode, O'Shaughnessy and Ligons cover everything from the week's headlines to deep dives on issues affecting the NBA and WNBA—whether they look into the real-life implications of when players get traded, the top breakout players of 2021, or the impact of 2001's defensive three-second violation rule change. O'Shaughnessy and Ligons first met while they were working together for the sports and pop culture website The Ringer. When Ligons started in 2018, she was immediately struck by how O'Shaughnessy “always made the stories relatable and was a woman in the sports industry killing it.” O'Shaughnessy, on the other hand, was drawn by Ligons' initiative to write more in-depth stories about the WNBA—noting her ability to “identify things that people aren't talking about that they should be talking about,” she says. The strength and solidity of their friendship shows in their easy banter. But what they appreciate about their rapport, above all else, is how they've been able to connect with newcomers and seasoned fans alike. “We're not making it so high-level that if you don't study a game film or every single minute of a game, you'd have no idea what we're talking about,” Ligons says. “Having people who aren't super basketball fans say, 'When I listen, I feel like I'm a fly on the wall' or 'I'm in the group chat with you guys and I feel like I'm already your friends,' that's the environment that we want to create.”

The Athletic's flagship hockey podcast features hosts Ian Mendes, Craig Custance, Hailey Salvian, Sean Gentille, Sean McIndoe, CBC's Rob Pizzo, Jesse Granger, Sara Civian, Max Bultman, and Corey Pronman, as well as The Athletic's great NHL writers, delivering previews of the week's best matchups, interviews with league insiders, analytics, prospect updates, betting picks, and much more, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, plus select Fridays throughout the season.

Con Carlo Genta e Pierluigi Pardo, lo sport appassiona e diverte. Le voci e i suoni del calcio. Una lettura ironica e coinvolgente degli avvenimenti dell'attualità sportiva, senza fanatismi e senza tecnicismi. Commenti, interviste e soprattutto il dibattito con gli ascoltatori, che sono tutti convocati. E' come andare al bar sport: fra una risata, un commento, lo sport con Genta e Pardo è per tutti. E alla domenica, dopo le partite Tutti Convocati Weekend, condotto da Giovanni Capuano, con la partecipazione dell'immancabile Pierluigi Pardo per commentare insieme agli ascoltatori un rigore mancato, un gol rubato e un risultato con il cuore di chi la passione la vive, la racconta e ci gioca. Con imitazioni, tic, smorfie, scherzi da spogliatoio e ironia irriverente. L'unico programma in diretta sul calcio a partite appena finite, in cui da casa o dallo stadio gli ascoltatori possono dire la loro perché sono sempre convocati.
