From espnW to Storied Sports: Elevating Women’s Sports Stories with Laura Gentile

In this episode, Tayler sits down with Laura Gentile, founder of espnW and co-founder of Storied Sports. Laura reflects on her 20-year career at ESPN and the moments that led her to launch espnW, sharing how her own experience as a college athlete shaped her belief that women’s sports deserved greater visibility and more intentional storytelling. Together, they explore the “whitespace” that has long existed in women’s sports media — and why filling that gap matters. The conversation also dives into Laura’s current work with Storied Sports, including the powerful series The 85ers, and how they’re building a platform to spotlight the untold stories of women’s sports.
