Sports Journalist Julie DiCaro Tackles Issues Facing Women in Competitive Sports

On The Mountain Life, sports journalist Julie DiCaro joins Lynn and Pete. 

DiCaro has covered professional sports for more than a decade and throughout those experiences has been outspoken about the exploitation of the female body. She talks about the covert and overt sexism women face in the workplace, and the male-driven toxicity in sports fandom.

Now, through candid interviews, personal anecdotes, and deep research, DiCaro is tackling these thorny issues and exploring what America can do to give women a fair and competitive playing field in sports and beyond in her new book, Sidelined.

  

Pete Stoughton is the Brand Relations Manager at Trail and Ultra Running as well as the Director of Programs at CCPC. Basically, he is the behind the scenes guy at TAUR. When he's not getting his TAUR on, or running 2-3,000 miles a year. His own personal running ranges from 100 mile races to track workouts. Nevertheless, a scenic run with friends is were he finds inner peace.
