The Pitch [#08]: Why the Build Up to a Grand Prix is the Perfect Stage for a Challenger League 🏁 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode of The Pitch, Andy, Drew, and Dom discuss using touring sports weekends to add fan-facing “shoulder programming” and new commercial inventory, sparked by MotoGP’s San Marino GP partnering with FIBA 3x3 for a free Thursday street-court event featuring riders as team captains. They explore how F1 and Liberty Media could replicate this by inviting challenger sports (padel, flag football, virtual golf) or creating owned IP (e.g., an “Apex” run club tied to the F1 movie) to drive spon
Kari Fleischauer [#92]: How Gotham FC are Applying Lessons from SpaceX to Build a Rocketship in Women's Sports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On today's episode of the Sports Pundit Podcast, we're joined by Kari Fleischauer, Chief Operating Officer at Gotham FC. Kari traces her career path from Goldman Sachs, SpaceX and Crooked Media to entering women's sport, first with Angel City FC, before landing at Gotham FC.

The Pitch [#07]: Should Teams Create an Honours List to Celebrate their Greatest Fans? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode of The Pitch, Andy and Drew welcome new co-host Dom, who arrives with a big opening pitch focused on an “honors system” for fans, built like a Hall of Fame for the people who actually create sports culture on the ground. Dom points to examples like San Antonio Spurs fans in France staging 2-4 a.m. playoff watch parties complete with drums, and asks why the volunteers and organisers behind these communities rarely get any formal recognition at all. That pitch opens into a wider co
