  • Not Surprisingly Eloquent

    Listening to the Renee Richards episode handled with grace. I identify with many aspects with her life. Due to medical issues, I could never do hrt and in this way I identify with the nonbinary author. I identify with you in having a larger frame and being girlie. Your approach and vernacular are nearly unmatched. Happy knowing people like you are in this world especially now

  • Solid part of the rotation

    I appreciate seeing a new episode every morning when I wake up. When there are topics I’m not interested in, it’s easy to delete and skip those.

    For all the people wondering “why never mention men’s sports?”, well, there are about 694,000 other podcasts that cover men’s sports. Have you asked why those don’t cover women too?

    It’s no shock that the 1 star reviews come with spelling and grammar that don’t reach middle school levels.

    Possibly one of the most bigoted podcasts I have ever heard. Come a long way from ESPN.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

We've Got Beef with Coach Jackie Johnston
Q: How do you balance being an influencer with journalistic ethics?
She emphasizes she is not a journalist, prioritizes clarity about opinion vs. fact, credits journalists when possible, and uses long-form pieces to direct audiences to deeper reporting while keeping content engaging.
I Love Scandal with Jordan Robinson
Q: What did you make of the comments by Amber Cox and Kelsey Mitchell about Fever fans during exit interviews?
Jordan and Sarah analyzed the need for accountability and to move beyond defensiveness, advocating for clear communication and concrete plans to address fan concerns while avoiding blanket blame of supporters.
Multitasking in the Best Way with Kara Lawson
Q: You had an abundance of talent on that roster. What's your secret to getting buy-in from everyone top to bottom?
There isn't a secret; it starts with the players' willingness to buy in and their buy-in drives the whole process more than coaches do. It's about focusing on the talent and empowering them to help the team win.
Shed the Shoulds with Sara Haines
Q: How do you decide when to address controversial topics on The View?
They aim to balance informative discussion with respectful dialogue, choosing moments where the conversation can educate or illuminate rather than simply provoke.
Shed the Shoulds with Sara Haines
Q: What was the biggest growth moment in learning to share your own opinions on air?
Realizing that having an opinion doesn't make you right, and that there are many valid perspectives in any room, helped her speak more authentically while still listening to others.
