Episode 4 - Women's sport and the "basic economics" myth

In India, cricket is often considered a "religion" rather than a sport. What we forget, is that this is when referring to men's cricket, not necessarily women's, or at least, not yet. In this podcast we speak to former Indian cricketers, Anjum Chopra, who captained the national side for a decade, and Snehal Pradhan, as well as a couple of teenagers prospering under the sport-led charity, the Magic Bus India Foundation. 

We discuss the potential of women's sport, both on the field and in terms of gender equality more widely, and ask whether it is ahead or behind where it should be - standards-wise, commercially and the coverage it receives.</googleplay:description><googleplay:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/b9aff790174c76ee24f78761e378d8b9.jpg"/><googleplay:explicit>No</googleplay:explicit></item><item><title>Sport Inc. - Episode 3 - Is sport due east? - Feb 2019</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/user/11049733/sport-inc-episode-3-is-sport-due-east-fe</link><description><![CDATA[Sport Inc. - Episode 3 - Is sport due east? - Feb 2019 by Sport Inc.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/577018533</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Feb 2019 23:09:43 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/17070007/577018533_sportinc_sport_inc_episode_3_is_sport_due_east_feb_2019.mp3" length="44578689" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Isabelle Westbury</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Sport Inc. - Episode 3 - Is sport due east? - Feb 2019 by Sport Inc.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Sport Inc. - Episode 3 - Is sport due east? - Feb 2019 by Sport Inc.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2787</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/af9356eee24d1598babcfdfcfba04b1b.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><googleplay:author>Isabelle Westbury</googleplay:author><googleplay:description>Sport Inc. - Episode 3 - Is sport due east? - Feb 2019 by Sport Inc.</googleplay:description><googleplay:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/af9356eee24d1598babcfdfcfba04b1b.jpg"/><googleplay:explicit>No</googleplay:explicit></item><item><title>Sport Inc. - Episode 2 - Don't Kill All The Lawyers - Jan 2019</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/user/11049733/sport-inc-episode-2-dont-kill-all-the-la</link><description><![CDATA[A podcast that looks at sport from a broader perspective.
