3.8 out of 5 stars from 1.1k ratings
  • 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.

  • 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
