Ultimate Voices Europe (UVE) is a podcast dedicated to sharing the stories and perspectives of the European ultimate frisbee community. With a strong focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), UVE covers a wide range of topics such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and more. It takes an intersectional approach -recognizing that people’s experiences in the sport are shaped by multiple aspects of their identity, not just one.
The podcast highlights backgrounds and perspectives that don’t always get the spotlight and explores best practices for making ultimate more inclusive. Each episode features a new player or coach from different divisions and backgrounds, offering insights into the sport beyond competition.
New episodes are approximately released monthly. Listen in and be part of the conversation.

Together with Anika and Jakob, she discusses the state of women's sports coverage, the role of storytelling in creating visibility, and what ultimate can learn from the wider sports media landscape and vice versa. They also touch on Becky's focus topic of transgender inclusion and other social issues in sport, and the responsibility of media in shaping conversations around sport and society. Curious? Tune in!
