Episode description

Rhea celebrates Women in Baseball Week (July 21-27) with profiles of Alta Weiss, Maria Pepe, and Toni Stone, and a rundown of events and exhibits across the country that you can visit to honor, celebrate, and learn about women in baseball. Plus thoughts on BB guns, fear, decluttering, and the unsustainability of anger and sadness.
