Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Momentum delves into a wide range of themes surrounding women's sports, personal resilience, and societal impact. With episodes highlighting the harrowing yet inspiring journey of the Afghan Women's National Football Team, the role of athletes like AFLW player Nicola Barr in advocating for climate change, and transformative stories of resilience such as that of Amy Pejkovic, the show balances sports narratives with discussions on justice and equality.
Momentum is a women’s sports show hosted by sports journalist Kat Sasso, spotlighting the athletes, stories and moments driving the rapid rise of women’s sport. Each week, Group Chat brings Kat together with Lav Baj for a wrap of the biggest headlines – from breakthrough performances to the cultural moments shaping the future of the game. Alongside the weekly wrap, Momentum also features a flagship interview series where Kat sits down with some of the most exciting female athletes and voices across sport.
It’s another big week in women’s sport and Kat Sasso and Lav Baj are back in the Group Chat to get into all of it.
They kick things off with what’s caught their attention this week, from Bieberchella chaos to space chat (yes, really), before diving into the internet sports moments you need to see. From wholesome sideline energy to elite street sport content and a few viral moments that had the group chat going off, there’s plenty to unpack.
On the headlines front, there’s a mix of history-making moments, big moves, and a few conversations that have everyone talking. A major coaching milestone in Europe, big money moves in basketball, rising global sports on the Olympic horizon, and some Aussie stories that hit a little closer to home — including a debate that’s sparked plenty around AFL Gather Round and where women’s footy fits into it.
They also get into the chaos (and excitement) around the WNBA right now — from draft buzz to rising stars like Izzy Borlase making moves internationally — and why the global game feels like it’s levelling up fast.
Plus, a deeper chat around where Australia actually sits when it comes to supporting women’s sport. With the game growing rapidly worldwide, are we keeping up — or starting to fall behind?
And of course, a look ahead at what’s coming up — with finals, major tournaments and some seriously big matchups just around the corner.
A mix of chaos, conversation and the stories you need to be across — exactly how the group chat should be. 💬
