Ep #73: Media boycotts and mental health

Why are you getting a podcast alert on a Tuesday, you may ask? Well, we have great news for you: The GIST of It is now a twice-weekly podcast! Starting today, we’re doubling the sports news to give you episodes every Tuesday and Friday. 
And with our first Tuesday episode, we’re diving into explosive news from Paris: Naomi Osaka’s media boycott and withdrawal from the French Open. There’s more than one side to this story, and co-hosts Ellen and Steph will cover them all. Tune in to get the full scoop, and to hear a GISTer-submitted WTF moment from the MLB.
