Women’s sports history didn’t disappear by accident — it was hidden.

In this episode of Unstoppable Podcast, we sit down with Jean Williams one of the foremost historians of women’s sport.

Jean shares how researching women’s sports history often means working against silence — missing records, dismissed achievements, and narratives written out of official history. The stories exist, but they are scattered, buried, and too often ignored. Recovering them takes persistence, patience, and a refusal to accept that “nothing happened” simply because it wasn’t documented.

Together, we explore why women’s sporting achievements were hidden in the first place, what it takes to bring those stories back into the light, and why reclaiming this history is essential to understanding today’s fight for equity, recognition, and respect.

This is a conversation about truth, recovery, and the power of remembering.

About the women who competed anyway — and the historians who refused to let their stories disappear.

Unstoppable Podcast blends cinematic storytelling with immersive sound design and insightful interviews, celebrating women in sports — past and present.

Before women were welcomed in sports newsrooms — before audiences could imagine a woman delivering scores, analysis, and authority on air — there was Jane Chastain.

In this episode of Unstoppable Podcast, we spotlight one of the true pioneers of sports broadcasting. Jane Chastain broke barriers in the 1960s and ’70s, becoming one of the first women in America to appear regularly on television as a sportscaster. At a time when women were often dismissed, sidelined, or outright banned from sports coverage, Jane showed up prepared, confident, and undeniable.

Our episode opens with a cinematic vignette that places you inside the era—when typewriters clicked in newsrooms, football predictions were considered a man’s domain, and a young woman dared to claim her space on air.

In my conversation with Jane, we talk about:
• What it was really like to work in sports television when no roadmap existed
• The resistance—and resilience—that shaped her career
• Why visibility matters, even decades later
• And how her legacy helped open doors for generations of women who followed

Jane Chastain’s story isn’t just sports history—it’s media history, women’s history, and a reminder that progress often begins with one person brave enough to step forward.

Mirin Fader doesn’t just write sports stories — she writes human stories.
As a New York Times bestselling author and senior NBA writer for The Athletic, she’s known for compassion, depth, and unforgettable storytelling. Her book Giannis became a bestseller, and her highly anticipated new book on Larry Bird is coming soon.

But before she became one of today’s most respected sports journalists, Mirin was a young girl who dreamed of playing in the WNBA. An unexpected injury in college changed everything — forcing her to rebuild, reimagine, and rediscover her purpose. That path led her to sports journalism… and ultimately to her calling.

In this episode of Unstoppable Podcast, we talk about:
• How losing basketball opened the door to writing
• How she fell in love with sports journalism
• The power of empathy when covering athletes
• Her encouraging words for young women in sports and journalism
• And how she’s approaching her upcoming Larry Bird project
