Sidelined is the sports podcast that finally gives women a space to talk about the game—without leaving behind everything else they love. Brooke Fletcher and Dani Klupenger have spent over a decade as sports broadcasters but they realized their conversations weren’t solely based on sports- they were about fashion, pop culture, beauty and even reality tv. They know they are not the only ones. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider or ‘sidelined’ in sports talk, this podcast is for you. Why should sports only be for the guys? It’s for the girls too!

Lauren Shehadi on Her Rise in Broadcasting and Life at MLB Network
This week on Sideline, Brooke and Dani are joined by one of the most familiar faces in baseball broadcasting — Lauren Shehadi of MLB Network. From sending out 100 VHS tapes to breaking down playoff moments on national television, Lauren shares her incredible journey through sports media. She talks about the nerves that never go away, why preparation is everything, and how authenticity has shaped her on-air success.
The conversation dives into her prep process for March Madness, the balance of social media and privacy, and the art of asking the right question — even when you're live in front of millions. Plus, cereal hot takes, favorite stadiums, and what it really feels like to mess up on air. This one is full of insight, laughs, and real talk from a broadcasting pro.
