This Sporting Wife

Sports journalist for The Australian newspaper Margie McDonald spoke with Shannon and Fiona earlier in 2016 about her life and career, which includes covering 10 straight Paralympic Games and being the first female journalist to go on a Wallabies tour - where she quickly realised why no woman had done it before. She talks about some of the fascinating experiences the Paralympics have exposed her to, and how she pretty much fell into sports journalism during a time when it truly was a man’s world and some of the issues that can arise being a female sports scribe. The women discuss Margie’s sports bucket list, whether Serena Williams will be the best and swap notes on badminton. Plus Margie explains how a broken coccyx took her to playing with a glow in the dark frisbee in the headlights of a Datsun 1200 and why she thinks men should see tits early.
