   What makes a journalist chase one story over another? What is it really like travelling as a woman journalist? How do you deal with online harassment, navigating politics in sport, and, yes, being invited to inaugurate washrooms.

   In this episode, our panelists talk about the realities of women’s sports journalism, the stories that stay with them, the challenges they face, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Plus, their advice for young reporters looking to find their voice and make their mark.

In the aftermath of Sri Lanka's stunning rearguard action in the 2nd test of the recently concluded series, it was only fitting to get the voice of Sri Lankan cricket - Andrew Fidel Fernando on the pod!

Richa, Sarthak and Aditya speak to Fidel about a host of topics.

From Big Dickwella Energy, his feel for the game, school cricket, structure, administration, and underrated characters.

Sri Lanka remains an integral part of Cricket and there is no one quite like Fidel to help us understand their perspective.

You can follow him on Twitter, read his work on Cricinfo and of course please buy his excellent book - Upon A Sleepless Isle
