Welcome to the #PlayUnified Podcast where we meet at the intersection of sports, disability, philanthropy, entertainment and community building. Listen as we discuss why sports is such an important part of life, community and social change. The show features co-hosts, Mike Kelley, Charles Hirsch, Erin Fish and Ali Phaneuf as well as Special Olympics athlete, Lumene "Lightning" Montissol, who brings us the Lightning Round. Guests will include Special Olympics athletes, local sports figures, government officials, small business owners and figures within the Special Olympics movement.

Join us every other week as we discuss Special Olympics sports, our regional professional sports teams, including the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots and the New England Revolution, along with pop culture and news of the moment. As we get to know each other, we hope you will see that to Play Unified is to Live Unified.
