  • outstanding content

    Pros: Fantastic in depth conversation with WNBA players. I come away from each episode loving the featured player even more. Sue Bird was made for this format. Well done!

    Cons (an update!): guests are still great. But I am struggling to feel very excited about Sue’s pod given her drift toward pro-management positions and anti-labor politics around the WNBA CBA. Feels symptomatic of white privilege and class power that SB hasn’t fully interrogated.

  • 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.

  • 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.
