  • 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.

  • Always enjoyable!

    This show has been easily one of my most listened to shows in 2026. I probably started around the beginning of the year and it instantly became one of my go to, daily shows.

    Everything about it is great, from just getting updated on what happened and scores from the day before, the interviews (Sarah is great at), and the in depth analysis of different leagues, or different issues of the day. Definitely the best podcast dedicated to women’s sports but also just a well produced show in general t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It’s Not That Serious with Brenna Huckaby
Q: Tell us about getting started in sport.
Brenna explains growing up in Baton Rouge as a gymnast, discovering snowboarding after a rehabilitation trip, and falling in love with the sport despite initial doubts about safety for an above-the-knee amputee.
‘Untouchable’ with Alaina Bamfield
Q: What has been the reaction from friends, family, or other survivors to your decision to perform about this topic?
Most close to me were supportive; many survivors have reached out with appreciation, though there are varied responses because every survivor's experience is different, and some may not connect with the material.
‘Untouchable’ with Alaina Bamfield
Q: Did you start comedy to deal with trauma, or did you mine this part of your life later?
I began writing jokes about molestation relatively early but evolved into a longer, six-year process of developing material that could stand on its own beyond just the trauma narrative, aiming to create a broader hour of material.
‘Untouchable’ with Alaina Bamfield
Q: How did you get into comedy and what led you to pursue stand-up despite your athletic background?
I started doing comedy after being inspired by other female comics and realizing I could channel my own experiences into humor, especially after a long history with cheerleading and wrestling; it became a calling that combined storytelling with healing.
The Question No One Was Asking with Justine Pouravelis & Astrid Sheil
Q: What kind of jobs do graduates aim for, and how did that influence the curriculum?
The program emphasizes core business disciplines—accounting, finance, marketing—layered with women-specific aspects to prepare graduates for leadership, investor relations, and ownership roles in women's sports rather than coaching paths.
