May 20 Episode 346: Documentary spotlights 15 Canadian women champions (and we’ve got three of them in this episode)

This special episode features four of the producers and three of the world-class athletes behind Beyond The Podium: Celebrating Canadian Women Champions. The juggernaut documentary – which was directed by Brenda Whitehall – hands the mic to 15 of Canada’s top women winter athletes and invites them to delve deep into the issues that are intertwined with their journey to the podiums: issues like racism, infertility, depression and anxiety, safe sport, and discrimination. We see how athletes support each other, carry the weight of a nation, and navigate all manner of challenges and successes. The film is vast in its scope but also incredibly intimate, which is also an apt description for this super-sized episode, which finds Sabrina chatting with director Brenda Whitehall, producers Sarah Dawn Pledge, Angela Galanopoulos, and Juliana Bergstrom; and champions Jennifer Heil, Viviane Forest, and Kaetlyn Osmond about what it takes to be a champion.
