SUE BIRD and MEGAN RAPINOE aren’t just legends on the court and the pitch—they’re a force of culture. On their podcast A Touch More, the pair serve up a smart, unfiltered take on everything from politics to pop culture, and they do it with the kind of chemistry you can’t fake.
What makes them electric on stage? It’s not just the Olympic medals or the World Cups. It’s the way they talk (honest, funny, occasionally fiery) like you’re eavesdropping on a conversation you wish you were part of. They don’t shy away from tough topics, and they don’t do canned inspiration. It’s real talk, with real stakes, from two people who’ve actually changed the game in sports, media, and culture.
If your event needs a high-impact headliner, Bird and Rapinoe bring brains, boldness, and a point of view. You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and you’ll definitely hear something new.
