Play Like a Girl podcast (written edition): A tribute to Phyllis George

On this week’s special (written) edition of Play Like a Girl, Meredith and Tia pay special tribute to Phyllis George, a pioneer of sports broadcasting and one of the first women to report sports on-air.

Hey friends - sorry we can’t share our dulcet tones with you this week, but it’s been a couple weeks since Phyllis George passed away, and Tia and I wanted to pay special tribute to this special person who paved the way so much for us and other female sportswriters and broadcasters.

Phyllis George did a lot of things throughout her career, but we’re going to focus on a subset that’s relevant to this podcast (even in written form).
