Cue the confetti!

Why? Because it’s our 250th (!!!) episode of The GIST of It. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz are celebrating with a classic episode, featuring women’s sports labor news and a WTF roundup. The gals start off with the latest from CanWNT’s messy ongoing equal pay fight with Canada Soccer. The sides reached an interim funding agreement last week, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Then for part two, El and Steph dig into a handful of WTFs from the weekend spanning basketball, baseball and tennis. The bullsh!t knows no bounds.

Welcome to March!

And welcome to another episode of The GIST of It. On today’s pod, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz kick things off with some infuriating updates out of Canada Soccer. Turns out, amid an ongoing labor dispute with CanWNT, the organization’s finances are way worse than we originally thought, with funding “on life support” for the women’s squad. The gals will sort through all the messy details.

Then after the break, start your engines because the 2023 F1 season officially begins this weekend! Twenty-three Grands Prix, 20 drivers, 10 teams, one big winner — El and Steph have everything you need to know before action hits the grid at the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend.
