About this episode:

What’s more powerful than a sports icon? A sports icon with a fanbase.

I’m joined by Alice Crossley to explore how WAGs (wives and girlfriends of athletes) have shifted from tabloid fixations to major influencers. As fandom continues to evolve WAGs are creating new pathways into sports, proving that passion for the game goes far beyond the field. From the flash of the “noughties” to the polished influencers of today, we explore how this shift is broadening how we connect with athletics.

About Unexpected Curves:

A unique listening experience for the next generation of sports fans to interact with the stories about the people, and the plays that make an industry. 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.
