Megan Rapinoe, soccer champion, activist and entrepreneur, is entering a new chapter with the forthcoming launch of weekly interview show “Why Are You Like This?”
The show, produced and distributed by Vox Media, will feature Rapinoe’s conversations with artists, athletes, activists and “architects of culture.” On the podcast, Rapinoe will try to get at what makes her guests tick — with discussions spanning “the personal and the professional, the origin story and the long game, the private cost and the public legacy,” per Vox Media.
“Why Are You Like This?” is slated to premiere Thursday, Aug. 6, with new episodes dropping weekly. The show will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and other platforms. Each episode will run about one hour.
Rapinoe, in an interview, declined to reveal who she has lined up for the pod but promises the show will provide a deep dive with “some of the world’s most interesting people.”
“I am mostly interested in talking with people about why they do things the way they do things – and why some people seemingly take a left when everyone else is taking a right,” Rapinoe told Variety. “I’m interested in everybody’s lived experience. … I’m curious to see how they see themselves in the world.”
