Through their hugely popular newsletter, podcast, and social content, The GIST aims to be your “witty, sports-obsessed best friend” that gives fans sports coverage that centers on women.
In this episode, hear Jacie & Caroline discuss the sports media landscape, and how The GIST is shaking things up for the better.🏆
