Pope says to give a complete look at the rise of Serena Williams, who is the subject of the first episode, the team carefully considered what elements of her career needed to be discussed.
“It was tough because it's like, who is going to give us the best perspective? And you want it to be from different angles,” Pope said. “So for this episode we had Chanda Rubin, who played against her and can talk about how scary it is to play against someone like Serena Williams and how that has to how you have to up your game to play again. Then we think, OK, how about family life? The family story is a big part of her legacy. We talked to her older sister, Isha Price.
Pope says the subjects will range from sports and entertainment figures like Williams to historic and political figures – but always with an eye toward modern-day relevance. “We didn’t want it to be the History Channel, where you’re talking about a bunch of people who there’s not a lot of connecting to.
