If you watch basketball at all, you're familiar with her, Kate Scott is the voice of the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA, but she didn't start there. Kate was the first woman to call an NFL game on the radio, the first woman to call Pac-12 football was a member of the first all-female broadcast team for the NHL, was the first woman to call a Golden State Warriors, and called the Olympic men's and women's basketball on NBC. She's a force to be reckoned with, but she doesn't take herself too seriously, so get ready for some laughs.

That's four years before Title IX was passed (before Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee had teams!).

Welcome to “You Throw Like a Girl”, a show all about women in the sports media industry breaking the mold. I’m your host, Maggie Robinson and I’m so excited to share these stories with you.
