Amazing all-around sports coverage
I’ve been following The Lead since it launched and have loved it since the beginning. The Athletic provides some of the best reporting I’ve seen and I’m happy to report The Lead is no different. They’re able to get me interested even in episodes about sports I don’t follow, and they often use sports as a lens to discuss bigger cultural and societal issues. Really, really well done and the exact kind of reporting I love to see. Like a previous reviewer, I also love the diversity of guests they feature and it’s GREAT seeing a woman at the helm of a sports podcast. Both Kavitha and Anders are top notch hosts. This is one of my favorite daily listens without a doubt.

I respect the production value put into it, but this is a podcast not a documentary. 5...Read full review »
