Abstract
This chapter focuses on a prominent sports talk-radio show hosted by the only woman as of 2016 with her own national show five nights a week, Amy Lawrence, host of After Hours with Amy Lawrence. It draws upon the theoretical concept of male-gaze theory that the content of media language in bodies of discourse dominated by male participants will inevitably tend to reflect more of the societal understandings that such theory asserts as structured upon patriarchal ideas and values. Methodologically, this chapter represents an effort to include a degree of consideration of what male-gaze theory suggests is missing from discourse that is limited to male perspectives.
