96. Fair Play

There is a stark contrast in salaries of women and men in professional sports. Hear about the history of women’s sports and how women have been fighting for equality in athletics since the early days of modern organized sports. UC Berkeley women's history professor Bonnie Morris tells us about discrimination in sports and changes in our world that influenced the rise and spread of women's sports. Then visit Romania — home to the legend of Dracula, the highest population of brown bears in Europe, the oldest underground glacier in the world, and 310 Olympic medals.

 

Davisville, June 3, 2024: He helped ex-Enterprise writers Dunning and Weitzel land at Substack

Davis has just gone through a local news media earthquake. We’re talking about the Davis Enterprise’s decision to lay off Wary I columnist Bob Dunning (left, in photo), which shocked and/or angered thousands of people in town. In less than a week, Dunning had restarted his column and sports writing on Substack, with enough paid subscriptions to more than replace his salary at the Enterprise. Within days, Comings & Goings local business columnist Wendy Weitzel left the paper voluntarily to also move her work to Substack.

The evolving Davis news and information story has many parts. Today on Davisville we talk with local small business tech entrepreneur Brian Bolz (on right in photo), who helped Dunning and Weitzel get started on Substack, where they quickly found audiences. Bolz discusses how he became involved, plus his goals, what he’s doing, and how he sees the larger picture.
