  • Love Sheryl and Terrika!

    Really enjoying the show! Started listening to Sheryl on another WBB pod and have listened to Terrika cover WBB before. The chemistry is great! Reminds me of women’s basketball coverage I had to search to find early on when I watched more regularly and wanted insight and appreciate the coverage of other topics too. Great pairing!

  • Meh …

    Subjective podcast speaking about pseudo, intellectual issues that normal every day humans face, not just women or issues that simply don’t exist. This podcast doesn’t really offer anything of value or anything that’s going to correctly shape young women moving forward.
