About this episode
Welcome to episode 57 in which I speak to Sue Anstiss. Sue is one of the most passionate champions of women’s sport I think I’ve ever spoken to – and I’ve spoken to a lot of women who are passionate about it! As a founding trustee of the Women’s Sport Trust, co-founder of the Women’s Sport Collective, and CEO of Fearless Women , her over-arching ambition is to forge forward in terms of equality in sport: whether that be representation in the actual sports themselves, or through representation in the media. As host of the Game Changers podcast, she talks to trailblazing women in sport, and she talks to me here about what a brilliant medium this is – and I agree. She also talks to me about her book, Game On: the Unstoppable Rise of Women’s Sport . Launched in September, this is a book we all need on our shelves, in which Sue investigates why women have been excluded from the world of sport for centuries, and why we are now witnessing positive change as never before. It’s a celebratory book, as much as a rallying cry, and is testament to Sue’s positivity and passion for all women’s sport, including running. She also talks to me here about the sport that she loves to do, including her newfound passion for open water swimming. She’s a total inspiration, and a complete force of nature – by the end of our conversation I had one of those “oh my god, women are amazing” moments. Be inspired!
