The Tale of Two Ice Princesses

In our first episode of Sports Month, Tess takes us through Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding's background and what led up to one of the biggest sports scandals in history when Tonya's husband arranged for a hit man to attack Nancy before the 1994 Olympics. The episode is filled with a lot of debunking of facts the media imbedded into our heads since this occurred almost 30 years ago, and how the women have since moved on and talked about it and why we are so obsessed with pinning women against each other and this idea of the "good girl" vs "bad girl."

Trigger warning: This episode contains some brief mentions about sexual assault and eating disorders. If that isn't for you today, skip! However we do warn our audience before we talk about those two triggers.
