About this episode

This week we’re talking about the fictional characters that made all the athletic girls feel validated, and gave women and girls a chance to see themselves on screen.

I’m joined by filmmaker Jac’leen Smith to discuss her short film Flex Venus, inspired by her experiences as a track athlete.

Jac’leen is currently crowdfunding for her project. Discover more about her film and support her and her team.

In each episode we will get into the culture of women’s sports. Breaking down what’s good, what’s bad and what’s weird. We’ll hear from athletes and experts paving the way for future and sometimes we will go back in time to see how we got here in the first place.

This is the sports show where we give the girls some support.
