  • Sue has terrible politics

    I love the people Sue has on her show so I’ve been tolerating her moderate/capitalist political leanings but the fact that I just heard her and Nate Tibbetts say that bringing more men and white people into the league is a good thing and filing it under the guise of diversity is a sickening shame.

    Sue Bird is an owner and a capitalist and does NOT have the players’ well-being as a priority. She’s here to make money, full-stop. Literally makes me sick.

  • Enthusiastic & Detailed

    Sue Bird provides one of the most detailed and all encompassing perspective of Womens Basketball. Given that she has been a player and is now an owner and a fan. Her interviews are inquisitive, detailed, and insightful. We really gat to know the person not just the athlete.

  • The only one

    Sue Bird is the only one who can get this level of insight. Really smart setups and questions. She played with them, she is friends with them, and while she has help researching the details, Sue has all the shared memories to call up in her interviews. She genuinely piles all the love on her guests to make them feel comfortable, and the mutual respect shines through in the form of some incredible stories. It’s the perfect podcast.

  • I can’t

    I love the topic. I love the insight. I love the commentary. I cannot listen to one more podcast with people who OVERUSE the word “like”. It’s used nonstop and it’s distracting. The host and the guest. I just can’t. I really wanted to listen to the rest of Aliyah Boston but I can’t get through it with the amount of “like”s that are being used! Ugh!
