Description

Megan Rapinoe has never been content to just play the game, on or off the field. In Why Are You Like This?, she sits down with the artists, athletes, activists, and architects of culture who share that same refusal and curiosity: people who looked at the way things were and decided to build something different. 


Each conversation moves between the personal and the professional, the origin story and the long game, the private cost and the public legacy. The result is a show that does what no other can: puts the most compelling person in the room across from the most compelling people in the world, and finds the human being every time.


New episodes drop every Thursday starting August 6 on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
