About this episode

<p>Viva la season finale! Where we welcome a total trailblazer and change maker, the iconic sports broadcast Gabby Logan. In her almost 30 year career, Gabby has been at the centre of phenomenal change in a predominantly male dominated industry. She has presented many of the country's biggest sporting events including the Olympics, the Commonwealth games, the World Cup and the 2022 Euros which changed the face of women's football in Britain when the Lionesses won. Gabby has paved the way for other women and played a vital role in the promotion of women’s sport. On top of all this, Gabby has received an MBE, is the host of two hit podcasts; ‘The MidPoint’ and, the brand new, ‘The Sports Agents’ which she co-hosts with fellow broadcaster Mark Chapman, and has even found the time to write her memoir ‘The First Half’.</p><br><p>In this inspiring episode, Annie and Gabby discuss the slow but important changes in sports and broadcasting for women, the parallels in their careers - navigating being the token woman and bringing others through, how her upbringing in a sporty family with a footballer father helped shape her career, and how a tragic death of her brother in her teens taught her about dealing with grief and making the most of life.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Gabby’s podcast&nbsp;<em>The Sports Agents</em>&nbsp;is available now</p><p><a href="https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42Kx2B/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42Kx2B/</a></p><br><p><strong>GET IN TOUCH</strong></p><p>Contact us at changespod@gmail.com with your emails and voice notes.</p><br><p>Changes is a deaf friendly podcast, transcripts can be accessed here:<a href="https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
