The Winter Paralympics begin tomorrow in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and Amira Rose Davis, co-host of the Burn It All Down podcast, is back on the show to talk about the Games.
"A lot of times how we've marketed and packaged the Paralympics are these kind of inspirational stories," Davis says. "And sure, there's inspiration everywhere, there's inspiration in the Olympics, there's inspiration in the Paralympics, but these athletes are world class elite athletes. They're more than just like really nicely packaged feel good stories."
Davis, who is also assistant professor of History and Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies at Penn State, starts by sharing the athletes she’s most excited to watch.
