Billie Jean King

Back in our first week of Soccerish, our friend Julie Foudy sat down with us, dropped an incredible behind-the-scenes story about launching a new podcast with Billie Jean King and Abby Wambach—then told us we had to delay airing it and wait for the official announcement. Fair enough. We’ve been sitting on it ever since. Now the embargo is over, and you’re getting the whole thing: how Welcome to the Party was born at an Angel City game, why Billie Jean is secretly the funniest person in the room, Abby’s golden-retriever energy, and Julie admitting she has “no ..... idea what TikTok is.” It’s smart, chaotic, and joyful. In other words: peak Soccerish. ⏱️ Time-Coded Highlights 00:00 – Cold open: “How do we win at podcasting?

June 23, 1972. President Richard Nixon’s men broke into the Watergate complex just six days earlier. He’s attempting some damage control, but in between meetings with his staff, Nixon signs a new bill into law – the Educational Amendments of 1972. He isn’t aware of it at the time, but Title IX of this law will change women’s sports forever. The bill’s passage comes after years of campaigning, and the most prominent face of this movement is one of the great athletes of her era: Billie Jean King. Today, Billie Jean King sits down with Sports History This Week to unpack her role in this monumental legislation. How did she use her platform to fight for gender equality in athletics? And after the passage of Title IX, how did she literally battle for women everywhere? Special thanks to our guests: Billie Jean King, a champion of tennis and of equality, and Susan Ware, historian and author of Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women's Sports .
