    Should be Required Listening for Runners
    I’m so glad to have found this podcast! I learn so much from the guests, and Emma does a great job of asking the meaningful questions. Almost any social topic in the running world, you can find an episode discussing it in a way that is helpful, positive, and aimed at creating change in the running community.

    Speaks to the intersections
    As humans and athletes, we don’t live one-dimensional lives but rather exist in communities and ecosystems. On Social Sport, Emma does an excellent job drawing this out. Her guests are impressive and knowledgeable yet relatable, and Emma is a skilled interviewer. I am glad for a podcast that speaks to the many important intersections of athletics and activism.
  • Saqu7777777
    All around great podcast 👍
    I’ve been really loving Social Sport lately! Emma’s a really talented interviewer and I always love the guests she has on and the topics they cover. Would definitely recommend for someone who’s interested in social justice, endurance sports, or both!
  • @kelseyamabale

    Inspiring and interesting
    Emma always brings on really interesting guests. I feel like I learn a little bit more about this world in every episode. I love how this show can be inspiring and offer new perspective along with being fun and relatable. Highly recommend a listen!
  • gabbbbbbbylou
    Learn something new every episode!
    Every episode of this podcast brings a different guest and overlooked topics that I️ am so excited to learn more about! Thanks to Emma for highlighting so many important issues, and also for introducing listeners to so many individuals in sport that are making a difference and sharing their voice with a larger community.
  • Cindy.Kuzma
    In-depth, meaningful conversations
    I discovered this podcast when Alison Wade was a guest; I’m a regular reader of her Fast Women newsletter and have heard her on podcasts before, but gained a new appreciation for her work and mission through this interview. That led me to subscribe and also to go back to the previous episodes. I’ve long believed sport can be a catalyst for change and it’s inspiring to hear from athletes and activists who put this belief into action. Extremely well done and so important, right now.
  • elancioni
    Great and Unique Conversations
    Emma brings on a wide array of guests, which means that no episode is the same! I love the variety of topics and conversations that she has. The work Emma does on the back end lends itself to some really deep and informative conversations.
