This week we're bringing you an episode from our friends at, Every Little Thing. They explore how one style of cheerleading came to dominate in so many American schools? In part one of a two-part episode, ELT flips through the history of cheerleading and meets the man who held cheerleading in the pompom of his hand. 

Check out part two: Behind the Pom Poms: Cheerleading's Checkered Past (Part 2). This episode originally aired August 10, 2022.
