This episode of Burn It All Down was recorded in front of a live audience at Bowling Green State University on March 27, 2025.

We’re back...for a single live show. We are not resuming weekly shows at this point, but we do have another live show scheduled at the end of May in Gatineau, Canada (more on that to come).

If you are interested in bringing BIAD to your location for a live show, please contact us through our website: https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/

EPISODE SUMMARY:

This week, Shireen, Lindsay, Amira, Brenda, and Jessica talk about sports at, what feels like, the end of the world. They discuss the dissonance and relationship between all the good that is happening within sports and the brutal societal attack on trans people’s civil rights, especially on trans girls and women in sports, the rollback of diversity/equity/inclusion on college campuses as athletes begin to secure more labor rights, and the United States’ horrific isolationist and nationalist movements as the US, Mexico, and Canada get ready to host some of the world’s biggest international sporting events.

And, as always, you’ll hear the Burn Pile and Torchbearers, starring, well, us.

EPISODE NOTES:

We want to thank Dr. Vikki Krane, the Social Justice through Sport and Exercise Psychology Symposium, Amy J. Kolk, and everyone else at BGSU for bringing us back together for a live show. A special shout out to Phil Beskid for recording all of our audio.

This episode was produced by Martin Kessler. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist.

NOTE: We will have a transcript for this episode available on our site as soon as we can, though not as quickly as we used to. We are not the well-oiled machine we used to be; things take more time these days.
