Author: Carl Lee November 7, 2025 Duration: 1:01:32
On this week’s Let’s Talk, Carl Lee and Lisa Odie revisit their earlier interview with West Virginia boxing legend Christy Martin as her new biopic, Christy, hits theaters. The hosts discuss her legacy as a trailblazer in women’s boxing, her harrowing story of survival from domestic violence, and the significance of her choosing to premiere the film in Beckley. The conversation expands into themes of resilience, representation, and how Martin’s courage continues to inspire new generations of athletes from her home state

Tune in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for new episodes of Let's Talk with Carl Lee, a space where the lines between the game, the culture around it, and the society we live in are all part of the same essential conversation. Hosted by former NFL All-Pro Carl Lee, this podcast moves beyond simple sports commentary. Alongside co-hosts Lisa Otey and Hollis Lewis, Carl facilitates a dialogue that is as insightful as it is direct, drawing from his own experiences to examine leadership, personal growth, and the broader social issues often reflected in the world of athletics. You'll hear discussions that are grounded in real perspective, where a debate about a team's strategy might naturally lead to a deeper exploration of community influence or educational values. For a different kind of weekly engagement, the conversation also airs every Sunday afternoon at 1:06 PM on 580 WCHS. This isn't just analysis; it's a thoughtful, unfiltered look at how sports and culture continuously shape our lives, making each episode a unique blend of reflection and candid talk.
