So glad y’all are back! Grateful!

No other podcast has as elite a roster of hosts and guests with a history of covering women’s sports. If you are interested in the news, politics, history, and gossip (oh yeah) around the fastest and most interesting leagues and athletes, you must subscribe (and support!) now. Best online community I have been part of since the dawn of the interwebs.

The feminist pod we need!!! So happy you are back at it.

2025 Update - THANK YOU for posting your live show on the pod. I’ve missed you all sooo much! I’ve added some great women’s sports podcasts to my feed since the last burn pod, but they are missing your collective blend of journalistic and academic integrity. Thank you for this. Keep on burning on, not out! Circa 2021 - Excellent topics, great interviews. My favorite is the end of each episode where the panel describes actions taken during the week that inhibit the growth of women’s sports or unfair treatment of athletes often with a nod to college athletics. Podcasts like this can help us all to understand the current issues in sports and inspire us to do something about those issues we get particularly attracted to.

Every time the BIAD crew says BURRRNNNNNN I must shout BURRRNNNNN out loud with them. Burn! It! All! Down!!!

Done!!lol

…and the pod we need! 🙌🏽

I know y’all are going on hiatus, but I hope it’s not too late to write a review. This podcast is such a gift. If I was stuck on an island with only one podcast, this would hands down be it. And I’m a huge true crime fan… But seriously, thank you for creating a safe space for us to both love and hate sports all at once, and thank you especially for ALMOST making me want to watch mens sports again. Almost :) We will miss you, but we will be right here when you come back. Love y’all!

You cannot support trans women in sports and call yourself a feminist. Even trans women say it isn’t fair. Stop being woke and start caring about women. Disgusting.

I’ve learned so much more about the wide world of sports by listening to this podcast than I ever could have otherwise. They go in depth into topics and provide critical background both on HOW sports works (and doesn’t) and the amazing talents of athletes themselves. Everyone should be on the Burn It All Down train!

It makes me miserable to hear of the hate and anger you’re experiencing. I love this podcast. I admit that I often disagree with you, but I always learn something. You always make me think. You make me question and think critically, and examine what I believe. Burn on!

Not always the easiest topics to cover but they do it in a passionate and empathetic way. Really enjoy their interview episodes and how they wrap up with highlights of great people and moments. :)

More communist trash. If you value your brain cells, skip the whole podcast🤡

They say that this is “The feminist sports podcast you need,” and every sports fan needs to hear this podcast. Brenda, Shireen, Amira, Jessica and Lindsay talk each week about topics that almost never get covered in the mainstream sports media from a pop culture and social justice perspective. The folks they interview each week are super interesting as well, including USWNT defender Meghan Klingenberg and French freestyle footballer Lisa Zimouche. Can’t recommend this podcast enough (and if you want to take it a step further, support them on Patreon!)

It’s not “phobia” or “hate”. Women’s Sports will eat itself alive to accommodate men. It’s okay, according to the hosts, to ask biological females to lose to men to make them feel better about themselves. NO. Women and girls have had to coddle men for 100s of centuries. HELP raise healthy boy into healthy men. Sports aren’t co-ed for a reason, and it’s not because of gender stereotypes!

I’m so glad to have a sports podcast led by women. Love the diverse topics; gives me a chance to learn new things.

This show has to be one of the best podcasts out there. Sports, feminism, politics. I’m obsessed.

been a flame thrower from the beginning. downloaded itunes just so i can finally review. happy with splitting the interviews off into separate episodes.excited for more flame throwing!

Poor content top to bottom.

Really great listen for female sports fans (and make fans as well)

thank you

Disappointing.

This podcast is about so much more than sports. It's so refreshing to hear from different voices; I've learned so much from Burn It All Down! I especially love the commentary on recent news and the Burn Pile, which holds awful people accountable for their words and actions. Great show!

I love so much about sports but hadn’t found a podcast before that I enjoyed listening to so much. Keeps me informed, makes me think and laugh. Perfect combination.

Brilliant, critical, and emotional, this quickly became one of my favorite podcasts, and one of the few I support financially (check out their Patreon!). It has changed my relationship to sports for the better, opening my eyes to both injustice and great possibility.

As a female journalism and sociology student who enjoys sports, this podcast is everything I needed. I love that the hosts are knowledgeable WOC and have BIPOC experts as guests in the show. Thanks for giving me hopes on sports journalism. Your work will definitely be a model for my future sports writing!

I’ve learned so much from the host’s educated, honest perspectives. They always have great guests and insights. Sports is never just sports, and they explain why, how, and what to do about it.

Always insightful, thoughtful conversations encompassing a diverse range of topics. Love tuning in to this podcast every week! An excellent selection of guests and diverse perspectives

This podcast is everything I didn’t know I needed. The depth and breadth of perspectives and topics and the intersections with types of sports and leagues is masterful and it makes me feel like I can understand myself as a sports fan when before I didn’t see myself as what I thought a sports fan usually was.

I’m not the biggest sports fan either, but this podcast is a must listen. The hosts are all amazing in their own right. I love hearing about sports news stories from them and hearing about a lot of news that I normally would never hear about. It’s all super relevant and part of my weekly podcast diet

I’m not even a huge sports fan. I’m an active female who cares about the news and human rights, and I’ve learned so much by tuning into this podcast. The hosts are insanely informed, witty, and a pleasure to listen to. By tuning in, I know I’m getting exposed to stories and interviews that otherwise go underreported. Also...it’s cathartic. Best feminist group therapy sesh, that somehow leaves you feeling motivated and hopeful, perhaps for no other reason than knowing that these women are gonna hold people accountable.

What a relief to have this podcast that centers the stories, perspectives, and sports that I care about!!! I’ve been looking for a podcast like this one for years and am so grateful to have found this one finally. Thank you all so much for this Content and for your thoughtful conversations and expertise! You’re the best.

Excellent hosts, guests, and topics. I came to hear the interview with Alison Mariella Désir, and ended up loving the entire show. Subscribed and looking forward to what’s to come, as well as going further back in the archive. Thank you for your hard work!

I hate sports.. but I love this podcast!

this podcast is so informative and SO SO smart and has made me give women’s sports the attention it deserves. Even if you don’t like sports going into it, it’s still a valuable listen.

I love sports, I generally hate sports commentators. This podcast has the sports talk I want to hear! These women are so good. Smart conversations, new perspectives and just so many voices I don’t normally get to hear. Listen now!!

Such an awesome pod no matter the sport. I am a women’s soccer/hockey fan and love your perspectives!

The conversation I need to hear every week

I always learn so much especially about common issues around the world. How much these women care about improving sports and our interaction with sports and athletes comes through in every episode.

i love this podcast- as a fairly recent sports fan, getting into sports and the mass of men talking that seems to pervade everything about sports was pretty disheartening. listening to this podcast is refreshing and enriching. i love hearing the toxic parts of sports culture called out in ways i rarely see other places, but i also love just listening to the hosts be sports fans!

The lively and incredibly thoughtful expert hosts of this podcast have taught me so much about the importance of sports more broadly, to our identities as individuals and as a cultural community, and to issues of everything from racism and colonialism to feminism (with all the intersections in between). The camaraderie, passion, and righteous outrage of these women come through as clearly as their descriptions of interesting and important events in sport. While every host offers a powerful perspective, sometimes episodes with fewer hosts are more effective, due to the potential for repetition in conversation. If you’re hoping to feel like you’re part of a community of intersectional feminists who care about sports, listen to this podcast!

yall. thank you! i needed this so deeply. its glorious.

Brilliant, inspiring, intelligent. Burn It All Down is the feminist sports podcast that everyone should listen to. Thank you for the work you do!

Is there a way to improve the audio quality? Love the content but it’s difficult to get into with the variety of audio happening.

I too was in a feminist rage after the 2019 Women's World Cup. Chanting "Equal Pay! Equal Pay!" in the stadium felt amazing, but normally I feel isolated from community around these issues. Love that the coverage is world wide, not just the United States and all the intersectionality about the analysis. Also love that it's not just ranting and also includes postiive things going on. I've seen some feminist analysis from women who aren't sports fans and that just doesn't cut it. They cover topics and incidents that no one else is covering. I feel so smart when I listen to it!

Burn it All Down its simply my favorite podcast!

As a lifelong female athlete and fans and a social justice activist, this intersection is amazing. I’m so glad I found this podcast.

I was in a feminist sports rage after the women's World Cup and I was wondering if there were podcast devoted to women's sports. There are! This is a great one! I highly recommend!

Such a refreshing take on sports—we can simultaneously love them but also critique them from perspectives that take more into account than what happens on the field/pitch/court/etc.

Love hearing the female take on sports, especially done intelligently and with humor. We need more like this.
