The Intersection

ESPN Radio and The Undefeated -- ESPN's multi-platform content initiative exploring the intersections of sports, race and culture -- will debut "The Intersection" on ESPN Radio, Friday, June 19 at 8pm. The two-hour, weekly show will feature in-depth discussions that will continue the conversation around the impact of social justice on sports and society. Following its premiere episode on Friday in recognition of Juneteenth, "The Intersection" will move to its regular time slot, Thursday at 8pm on June 25.

The show will be hosted by SportsCenter anchor Elle Duncan and The Undefeated columnist, commentator and host Clinton Yates. The duo will regularly be joined by other commentators from across the network.

"We are proud to have Elle and Clinton as part of this key piece of the ESPN Radio lineup," said ESPN Senior VP/Production David Roberts. "They are experts in driving and furthering meaningful conversations on social justice and the impacts on sports and society, while engaging with listeners throughout the process."

Duncan and Yates will recap the events, conversations and actions that took place throughout the previous week related to social justice. They will look ahead at the continued impact on sports and the way various leagues are responding as they return to competition.

Highlights from the show will be featured on "The Undefeated" as well as across ESPN's multi-platform studio programming. A podcast version of the show will be available next month.
