{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Leveling the Field","slug":"leveling-the-field","podcastDescription":"In the Leveling the Field Podcast I plan to dive deep into different topics related to university sports including funding, equity, discrimination, sexism, mental health, and academic support. Throughout the podcast, I search for answers to the following questions: What are the benefits of having students in athletics while pursuing their degrees? What elements of post-secondary education create barriers for students to be successful in athletics? How can we give marginalized individuals equal opportunities in university athletics? By combining previous research and discussing topics with a guest who has first-hand experience, I will find answers to these questions.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16115335/Podcast_Cover_eh7qp6.jpg","podcastShareLogo":null,"podcastUrl":"https://leveling-the-field.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":false,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/leveling-the-field/feed.xml","theme":"playlist2","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-x2y3m-f5e687?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":5,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Bridget Koza","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-x2y3m-f5e687-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-x2y3m-f5e687?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#9417FF"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
