Book Club Claire on A Team of Their Own

Book Club Claire joins us for a discussion of Seth Berkman's 2019 book A Team of Their Own: How an International Sisterhood Made Olympic History, about the 2018 Winter Olympic Korean women's unified ice hockey team. This story happened during the podcast's lifetime. What did we remember? What was new news? Did we fall for the IOC's unification propaganda?

 

Plus, our Milano Cortina 2026 sliding novela comes to a close and the torch is lit!
