Locker Room Talk | Melissa Ludtke

Join Michael in his conversation with Melissa Ludtke about her new book Locker Room Talk, A Woman’s Struggle To Get Inside which chronicles her years long effort to get major league baseball to provide her and other women sports reporters with equal access to the NY Yankees locker room so she could do her job as a baseball reporter for Sports Illustrated.

Melissa was a reporter for Sports Illustrated, a correspondent for Time magazine, and an editor of the Nieman Reports at Harvard University. She received the Yankee Quill Award and the Mary Garber Pioneer Award and was a Nieman Fellow and a Prudential Fellow at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. This is her third book. She lives in Cambridge, MA and roots for the Boston Red Sox.
