    This podcast has helped me get into the WNBA! Kristen and John make very inviting conversations to understanding the players, rules, and teams. I like their occasional guest speaker dive further into their favorite teams. Will keep listening!

  • Great intent, poor execution

    I came across this podcast hoping to learn more about the WNBA and stay up to date with news. I listened to the episode on the history of the league, but the very first fact they shared about signature shoe deals was incorrect. They claimed there were only three, when in fact there were four at the time. It quickly became clear they weren’t very knowledgeable about the WNBA, and they kept second-guessing their own research during the episode. The stated themselves Wikipedia was there source.

  • Research needs a little work

    Found this podcast and had high hopes based on the reviews but the research needs a lot of work. I’m referring mostly to the franchise history podcasts but basic research would help. The cohosts…just started paying attention it seems? Welcome to the world of womens basketball but please attempt cursory homework. Almost celebrating their lack of knowledge (scoffing or laughing at it). Basic research like how to pronounce Tully Bevilaqua’s name (newsflash: she’s still with the Fever!), openly sayi... more

  • One of the best wbb podcasts!

    Love how they break everything down so fairly. They always speak respectfully about the players and are entertaining. They play off of each other well. It’s nice to find a wbb podcast that actually understands the wnba and knows the players so they actually know what they’re talking about. Thanks guys! Love the pod.

  • Great show

    I love it. Hosts complement each other very well. They are curious about issues. They listen to each other. If they cut in when the other is speaking the result is not the flow of the idea getting lost but rather it getting enriched (this is quite rare in podcasts I find). Excellent work!
