  99.      <description>This is the first year the Olympics have gender parity between men&apos;s and women&apos;s teams - but does it mean gender equity? ESPN writer Katie Barnes and Rose Eveleth, host of NPR&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510311/embedded&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tested&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, join Brittany to discuss the barriers that women athletes still face - from men-only categories to women-only sex testing. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And later - in recent years, you may have noticed some new behemoths prowling the streets of America: giant trucks. The sheer size of them has sparked policy debates – many are so big that it&apos;s not possible to see a child crossing directly in front of them, and there&apos;s been a spike in pedestrian deaths. Brittany is joined by Angie Schmitt, author of &lt;em&gt;Right of Way,&lt;/em&gt; to chat about why these big trucks are so popular and what they say about our cultural anxieties.</description>
