A must podcast! I can’t stop listening!

I start listening and just finished the 6th episode almost non stop!
Each episode features athletes and their courage risking everything fighting against racism, misogyny and other social issues.
Michael Johnson guides us throughout history in a compelling and honest way, and conducts engaging interviews that help us to understand what and how it happened and the consequences, always unfavorable to the defiant athletes.
It’s fascinating yet sad to realize that so little progress had been achieved on society.
I can’t wait to listen to the last two episodes.
