| 6/18/26 | Knicks Special: How All of America Was Rooting for New York | The Knicks won the NBA championship for the first time since 1973, and so Kavitha Davidson threw out our production schedule. In this special episode, she recaps her chaotic week: attending games, doing live broadcast commentary for New York Post Sports, flying to LA on no sleep, and surviving two straight months of playoff emotions. But beyond the exhaustion and euphoria, she makes a bigger point — this Knicks team is genuinely, uncommonly likable. From the trolling chemistry between Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, who have a podcast together, to players who aren't afraid to be vulnerable, speak up, and show up for each other on and off the court. Kavitha breaks down why this group of men made not just New York, but the whole country, want to root for them. Recorded the day before the ticker-tape parade, and yes, she's already planning to sleep for a month. Host: Kavitha A.

| 2/12/26 | Why This Is America’s Best Figure Skating Team at the Olympics in Over 20 Years | In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson sits down with figure skating expert Jackie Wong to break down the unprecedented comeback story that has the skating world buzzing. For the first time in 24 years, Team USA is sending three legitimate Olympic medal contenders to compete in women's figure skating at the Milano Cortina Olympics. Meet the Triple Threat: Amber Glenn (26) - Three-time consecutive US Champion, landing triple axels with remarkable consistency Alyssa Liu (20) - Youngest US National Champion in history who came out of retirement to win the 2025 World Championship Isabel Levito (18) - Rising star with a personal connection to Milan, where her mother is from It's been 28 years since an American woman won Olympic gold in figure skating (Tara Lipinski, 1998). Sarah Hughes won in 2002. It's been 20 years since the US won a medal in the individual women's event (Sasha Cohen, silver, 2006). But 2026 might finally be the year that drought ends. In this episode: Figure skating analyst Jackie Wong explains why the Russian ban changed the competitive landscape, how the triple axel provides a massive scoring advantage, Alyssa Liu's remarkable comeback story, the US vs Japan rivalry, why Ilia Malinin is potentially the best American men's skater in two generations, and why this is the first Olympics in 24 years where Team USA has sent three women with legitimate podium potential.

| 2/5/26 | Patriots vs. Seahawks: Redemption, Revenge, and a Super Bowl Rematch | Eleven years after one of the most defining moments in Super Bowl history, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks face each other again in Super Bowl 60, with the media framing the matchup as a story of redemption and revenge. On this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson is joined by NFL reporter and Hall of Fame voter Lindsay Jones to examine why that narrative still resonates and where it starts to fall apart. From Seattle’s evolution into a defense-first team and Sam Darnold’s unlikely career resurgence, to New England’s faster-than-expected rebuild under Mike Vrabel and the pressure facing quarterback Drake May on the league’s biggest stage, the conversation explores how little these teams resemble their 2015 versions, and why history continues to shape expectations anyway. Set against the backdrop of a Bay Area Super Bowl, this episode moves beyond nostalgia to look at coaching philosophies, matchup realities, and the psychological weight of replaying a game that never fully left the NFL’s collective memory.

| 1/19/26 | Will the Enhanced Games Redefine Doping and the Future of Sports? | What happens when elite athletes are allowed and encouraged to use performance-enhancing drugs? In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson is joined by sports journalist Jacob Whitehead to examine the launch of the Enhanced Games, a proposed international sporting competition that openly permits the use of FDA-approved performance enhancers. The conversation explores how decades of doping scandals from cycling and track to state-sponsored programs created the conditions for a project that claims to “end hypocrisy” in elite sport. Kavitha and Jacob break down how modern doping actually works, why testing consistently lags behind science, and where gray areas already exist through therapeutic use exemptions and legal performance technologies. The episode also investigates the financial and ideological forces behind the Enhanced Games, including backing from Silicon Valley figures connected to anti-aging and transhumanist movements. With prize money that far exceeds most Olympic payouts, the Games are targeting older and financially vulnerable athletes, raising serious questions about health risks, informed consent, and long-term consequences. If elite sport becomes a showcase for pharmaceutical optimization rather than human limits, what do fans and athletes lose? SPORTLY PRODUCTION TEAM: Host: Kavitha A.

| 1/12/26 | Will Heated Rivalry Make Hockey More Inclusive? | We don’t usually talk about TV on Sportly. But Heated Rivalry made it impossible not to. What started as a quiet adaptation of a romance novel turned into a full-blown cultural moment—one that pulled queer love, masculinity, and hockey’s long-standing blind spots into the spotlight. NHL teams referenced it. Fans debated it. Players quietly recognized themselves in it. So what exactly did this show tap into, and why now? Kavitha Davidson is joined by sports historian Dr. Amira Rose Davis and journalist Dr. Jessica Luther to break down why Heated Rivalry landed so hard, what it reveals about hockey’s culture of silence, and whether pop culture moments like this can actually move a sport forward or just make it uncomfortable for a minute. This episode digs into queerness in men’s sports, romance as cultural critique, and the tension between representation and real institutional change. It’s about hockey, yes, but it’s also about who gets to feel seen in sports, and who still doesn’t. If you care about sports culture beyond the scoreboard, this one’s for you. Sportly is a podcast about sports, culture, politics, and identity, and why the stories behind the games matter just as much as the games themselves. Host: Kavitha A.

| 12/29/25 | Courtside Stories: Rivalries, Redemption, and Prison Reform? (January 2025) | What if a basketball game could offer more than just a win? For the final episode of 2025, we revisit San Quentin, where the Golden State Warriors face off against incarcerated players in a decade-long rivalry that’s redefining second chances. But are these programs as beneficial as they seem, or do they risk perpetuating systemic injustices? From historic prison sports leagues to global initiatives like the Twinning Project, host Kavitha A. Davidson uncovers the untold stories of how sports inspire hope, foster connections, and spark debate about the role of rehabilitation in the justice system. Host: Kavitha A.

| 12/22/25 | 2025 in Sports: Legacy, Scandals, and the Stories That Shaped the Year | As 2025 comes to a close, Sportly looks back at a year that reshaped sports far beyond the scoreboard. Host Kavitha Davidson reflects on defining moments across leagues and borders—from historic performances by A’ja Wilson and Shohei Ohtani to the cultural impact of the NBA’s new media era, the resurgence of tennis rivalries, and the continued growth of women’s sports. This year-end episode revisits some of Sportly’s most meaningful stories, including the political legacy of ping-pong diplomacy, the origins of women’s sports in the U.S., the Boston Marathon as a site of collective memory, Canada’s national identity through the Toronto Blue Jays, and the ongoing fight for Indigenous sovereignty in lacrosse ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The episode also confronts the more complex truths of 2025: sports betting scandals, labor disputes, media consolidation, and what happens when billion-dollar sports institutions struggle to regulate themselves. Looking ahead, Kavitha explores what’s coming next: the 2026 World Cup in North America, the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and the unanswered questions that will define the future of sports. Sportly is a podcast about sports, culture, politics, and identity, and why the stories behind the games matter just as much as the games themselves. Host: Kavitha A.
