    Missing this Podcast
    I was really hoping that this podcast would come back after a brief hiatus. As we are approaching 3 months since the last episode, I don’t know if that will occur or not. It was a weekly must in my podcast lineup and I am truly missing Sarah’s voice. Thought provoking episodes, questions and guests, That’s What She Said has it all. Hoping to find it landing somewhere soon.

    Thank you!
    Several years ago I decided to search for and commit to listening to women’s voices in sports, and I came across your podcast. It has brought me so, so, so much more than an interesting perspective on sports. You are smart, confident, thoughtful, curious. Thank you for taking us on your quest for lifelong learning and self-improvement. As your producer said, I’m a better person for having listened to your podcast. And while I hope you do what is best for you, I also hope your voice, in a similar podcast format, returns, as it has enriched so many lives. Thank you!

    Love love this podcast
    Sarah you’re an amazing storyteller and advocate, bringing attention to issues that are incredibly pertinent to know about and understand. You bring smart, driven and entertaining guests on to the show and connect to them immediately, while also seamlessly getting them to open about challenges and life lessons that I have been able to apply to my own life. Thank you for all of the new weird words of the week, insight, jokes and advice you’ve done through this podcast and fingers crossed this show continues into the new year ❤️🤞🤞

    Delightfully funny, deeply curious, and sharply insightful in every interview. Sarah Spain shares her passion for delving deep into new subjects and talking to interesting people. Simply put, this is a great podcast and I hope it continues in the new year!

    Great Listen Every Time
    This pod is a great listen every time. I have looked forward to it every week and will miss it! Found myself often learning something new, growing, finding a new interest, laughing, and definitely leaving with a smile.

    Always Time Well Spent
    Interesting guests and topics, with a litany of great questions from Sarah. A quick search of ESPN podcasts reveals mostly male podcasters - no surprise there, but the small number of shows led by women makes Sarah’s voice even more valuable. I sure hope That’s What She Says continues to have a spot in ESPN’s lineup.

    Sarah is a great interviewer and her diverse array of guests expands my horizons on a weekly basis. My top never-miss podcast.
  • OleRy gator
    Outstanding!
    Powered by a quest for a lifetime of learning, Sarah has sincere discussions with interesting people from a cross-section of fields, who almost always provide new thinking or a different point or experience. Listen, enjoy, evolve!
  • mrjdjude
    Always a great listen
    Every time I check-in with this podcast I am not disappointed. Sarah asks great questions and she gets her guests to open up in unique ways. Hope this isn’t the last as it would create a huge vacuum. Positive vibrations

    Great Show
    This is a gem of a show.
  • jamiedawson90
    Great, nay! Crucial podcast!
    I don’t normally write reviews for podcasts. Truthfully, I’ve always liked Sarah Spain but stumbled upon this podcast because the Around the Horn feed started publishing her weekly episodes there. Boy, am I glad I did. Her takes and interviews are always thoughtful and inspiring. Sometimes she’s silly, but She’s exactly what I need in the middle of a hectic week (my weeks are all hectic). Laugh-out loud moments coupled with moments that get me talking and thinking about topics I usually don’t. Thank you. I truly hope this show continues and if it moves locations, I hope I can be intentional in finding it immediately because I will definitely miss this podcast.

    We need Sarah in our pod feeds!!!
    Always enjoy Sarah’s take on things so I welcome her weekly episodes that give us interesting guests and great conversations!
  • Tlruppe
    Sarah Spain is one of the best interviewers ever!
    Sarah Spain is the most prepared and interesting interviewers ever. even when I don’t think I’m going to like the interview because of the topic she finds a way to make it interesting and impactful. One of the ones that I click on first when it pops up in my download list.

    Say It Ain’t So Sarah
    Your podcast is one of my favorites and look forward to new episodes each week. Keeps me company on my hikes. Please keep us posted on where you’ll be. Long time listener. First time posting. George in Ahwatukee
  • Mastersweek
    Never miss an episode
    I love That’s What She Said with Sarah Spain. She brings on really interesting guests from all sorts of backgrounds. I listen to a lot of podcasts but I would say her guest list in the most diverse and from so many different industries. She asks great questions and you can tell she does her research and is very curious. I feel like I learn something new every time. Plus I love the Spanish Inquisition.
  • Edz671
    indeed
    no matter the forum, as spainiacs know, sarah is the best. hope to see the podcast back here or somewhere soon, as it one of my favorites to listen to and learn from.
  • alijb33
    Wonderful show!
    Love this show - she’s a excellent interviewer and really gets her guests to open up. Great intersection of sports, empowerment, and just telling great life stories and lessons. Five stars.

    Goal Achieved
    Great wrap up rap✌🏾w/ Mrs Hill… Awesome, but I must say… My goodness ESPN! Please don’t cut her off, what Sarah Spain brings to the forefront is all I fought for over the past 26yrs in the US Air Force! I have one daughter and when she came out to me, I cried for happiness because I said, theirs women/men/they/them out there… Listen to Sarah Spain, she provides guidance and an safe place to know/hear from others like our family who won’t judge you for being great! I learned that deployed fighting for women, men, they/them… I get it we have sports and analytics… but besides Mina, and Tony TK salute…and Mike Wilbaun… You’re really taking something that speaks to all of us and communities that don’t know how to discuss the crossover! Mrs. Spain, if you leave just know we will follow, I love all of your work, all that you stand for and I wish you all the best and I hope you become a Billionaire like your husband 😂✌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾!

    Sarah Spain
    Excellent podcast congratulation to your podcast Sara Spain Authors, TV podcast host and travel book legend Rick Stevens Joins You Sara to talk about how the internet had changed travel, How European cites are bouncing back from COVID restrictions , travel is political act, the country that his opinion had most changed over the years, the town the didn’t want his attention and getting name-dropped in a dirty SNL stint.
  • RocGert
    Loved ep 362 with Stef Strack!
    It’s content like this that showcases strong leaders that renews my hope in America! 💪
  • Mahz6696
    You gonna learn today
    A new word. A blind spot. Empathy. She’s such a great interviewer that I rarely leave with questions that I would have asked her guest but I ALWAYS leave with questions for myself.
  • MissedTitleIX
    Awesome interview with Alexandra Horowitz!!
    Sarah Spahn is one of the best interviewers around. She never gets in the way of her guests but frequently adds cogent details from her personal and professional experience.
  • modum03
    Excellent podcast
    I’ve been listening for a couple years now. Sarah is the most prepared and intelligent interviewers of our time. Her podcasts are entertaining as they are educational.
  • Der-was-taken
    Should be considered a sports show
    her podcasts focus more on feminism than sports.
  • Cramps222
    i’ve met dirt with more personality.
    just sad, very very sad that this gets propped up by ESPN.
  • dawgguy3
    Excellent!
    Smart and witty with some serious threads. Recommend you try it

    How many times can I review?
    Love this podcast. (I may have sent this already). I’m a sports nut, so most of mine are relative to sports. And, this is why I initially started listening to this one. But there is soooo much more. Her chat with Chef Edward Lee. Now, that was fun. I’m in the PNW, but now I need to head to Louisville or DC to try some new restaurants. What’s obvious is that Sarah does her research, she makes connections with her pod guests. Not only is she a great listener, she asks great questions. Still waiting for Brandi Carlile as a guest, though. Or Pete Souza? Cheers!
  • yes, my name is nick
    Lady of Spain
    Sarah is an interesting person seeking and talking to interesting people in any avocation. Speaking of, a great guest would be long-time Chicagoan Emily Graslie. She started out making a YouTube video from a natural history museum at the University of Montana, where she was a senior art student with an uncertain future, and that video was written up in Scientific American within a week. She became an overnight YouTube star, albeit niche, until the university closed down the museum. She was instantly snapped up by The Field Museum, where she continued her YouTube series The Brain Scoop (It still has brains on it). Ever since, she has filmed live taxidermy prep--complete with Gross-O-Meter, traveled around the world, and had species named after her. She has made a PBS program on midwestern wildlife. She has since left The Field Museum and The Brain Scoop, and it would be cool to catch up on such a natural communicator.

    Fearless
    Sooo funny. and sooo smart. a delectable spoonful of sugar. Sarah Spain is fearless. and entertaining.
  • Roningil
    One of the best interviewers
    Smart, funny, engaging. Have enjoyed SS since I first heard her on the Lebatard show. Been a fan ever since! I miss you interacting with the Le Batard show. Sarah, how about interviewing Jessica Smetana as being the only female member of the Le Batard Show? Thanks for all the good work!

    Kendall interview
    Great interview with Kendall! I’ve followed Hilary Knight for some time, but had no idea how much harder these athletes have to work to not get as much as the boys. I think both of you should leave golf clubs alone, just say’n.
  • Lolo13419

    Fan
    I am a huge fan of Sarah Spain. She is amazing and she knows her sports. Her podcast is now one of my favorite podcast. She gets people to open up to her.
  • chimanbj
    A modern voice for a modern day
    I’ve been a fan of Sarah since her days on WMVP Chicago, and have watched as she has worked to make her voice heard and respected. She is one of the best new voices in sports and is not afraid to share her opinions, even if they make you uncomfortable. She speaks her mind, speaks the truth, and is highly respected in the sports and entertainment circles. If you’re tired of the same sports talk, follow Sarah Spain - you won’t be disappointed! That’s what she said!
  • L-Dubs424
    My Actual Favorite!
    Okay, I’m an all things Detroit sports fan and typically don’t enjoy listening to Chicago fans but Sarah is the exception. I love this podcast!
  • Nuckhead
    I Always Learn
    No matter who your guest is, I always learn. I might not agree, but I always think. I stretch. I grow. I learn a new word. You’re the person in sports I would like as my friend
  • none_ya-buisness
    5 stars! 5 stars! 5 stars!
    Great show, keep it up! I really like that it’s a mix of everything. Keeps me interested the entire time. Especially love highlighting women, in multiple industries, not just the top athletes.
  • mjgraham8616
    Great Insight!
    Love the varied guests and wide ranging discussions. As a Brit living in Delaware, think you should have Susie Dent on the pod, I know you referenced her tweets in the past but think it would be a fun discussion
  • DerekChrist
    Very uplifting
    Absolutely love this podcast. I binge episodes when I’m working in my art studio and not only are they just overall enjoyable to listen to, but they often serve as motivation as well. Sarah is a fantastic interviewer and even though she is most known for her work in sports, you don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy this podcast.
  • brendamm9
    Awesome interviewer
