. In this episode of The 5th Quarter Podcast's On the Sideline series, I sit down with sports broadcast journalist Jessica Benson, host of The Jessica Benson Show with CJ Hurt on Grind City Media Network.

We dive deep into her journey as a woman navigating the male-dominated world of sports media. Jessica shares how she found her unique voice in the industry and the challenges she faced breaking into the sports space.
