Season 2 of the IHQ Pod is here.
On Feb. 10, 2007, the first Women’s MMA fight to air on live television featured Gina Carano vs Julie Kedzie.
In this episode, Tunisha chops it up with WMMA pioneer, matchmaker, commentator, and all-around badass Julie Kedzie. Conversation crosses the professional and personal scales with insight and perspective on the cost of MMA entering the “mothership mainstream” of ESPN, her entry into Taekwondo at age 4, the good and bad complexity of the MMA community, pitting women against women everywhere, and making space for yourself in spite of cultural and gender expectations. And oh yea, Julie ALSO has an MFA in Nonfiction Literature from the University of Iowa, and we compare scholarly/academic environments with sport/athletic spaces.
