Ep #381: Copa América chaos, PWHL Minnesota allegations, and an interview with soccer star Kristie Mewis

Hey there!

And welcome to another episode of The GIST of It. On today’s pod, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss chaos at the Copa América final in Miami and troubling allegations of bullying and verbal abuse coming out of PWHL Minnesota just months after the team won the inaugural Walter Cup.

Then after discussing these tough but important stories, the gals close things out with the latest installment in our Olympic athletes interview series — a conversation with USWNT fan favorite Kristie Mewis. Our associate managing editor Lauren Tuiskula sat down with Mewis to discuss everything from new USWNT head coach Emma Hayes to what Kristie’s streaming on Netflix. Thanks for tuning in!

A big thank you to our friends at Aflac for powering today’s episode! Just like The GIST tackles the gap in women’s sports coverage, Aflac closes the gap that health insurance leaves behind. Learn more at aflac.com/thegist.
