What’s flying around in Aviary this week? We are gliding into winter with Season 2 of the Ski Like a Girl podcast, now dropping weekly. If you are looking for something inspiring to listen to while you work, this series is a great choice.
Ski Like a Girl uncovers the stories of women who have shaped Nordic skiing in Canada, stories that too often go untold. Through oral history interviews, archival research, and academic insight, the podcast highlights the experiences of women and girls involved in cross-country skiing, biathlon, touring, ski jumping, and more.
The podcast is part of a research project led by PearlAnn Reichwein and her team, with contributions from Lyndsay Conrad, who also authored this week’s ski-themed ERA feature. It blends scholarship and storytelling to bring the history of women in skiing to life.
If you are ready for a thoughtful and trailblazing listen, check out Ski Like a Girl in Aviary and follow along as new episodes arrive throughout the season.
