Happy 2026, folks! I hope you all had great holidays and are ready for what the new year brings. (Being a little stressed is OK, too. Milan Cortina is in 30 days, and chill ain’t exactly the vibe over here. 😬)
In case you missed it over the holidays, check out my Dec. 22 cover story on the rapid growth of women’s sports podcasts. I had a lot of fun reporting that one and hope it offers insights on that part of the industry.
For the inaugural newsletter of the year, we’re looking at the state of several newer leagues kicking off their seasons this week. Enjoy!
