In the debut episode of Bars Over Bodies, Micah Misfit sets the vision for a podcast where hip hop meets women’s wrestling. This platform is all about giving women their respect — and today we’re talking about how Black women wrestlers are too often denied that.

It’s time to call them out and give these women the recognition they’ve earned.
