  • Fillers

    I’ll listen to anything WNBA and I’ll probably listen to this again, too… but the delivery just isn’t smooth, and the content isn’t effort filled. The filler words are excessive (Uhh, uhh, um, uhh, um ) and the staccato delivery is very unpleasant. The ends of sentences are dropped/inaudible and again, the staccato pattern at the end of every sentence has a phone-it-in feel rather than a polished, authentically interested vibe. The editing is - WHAT WAS THAT?! This feels like a jam-it-in and ca... more

  • Why does it say UConn and Texas as playing in the final?

    I’m confused—why does the most recent episode from April 6th 2026 say that UCONN beat SC and Texas beat UCLA? Is this an episode from an alternate universe? Someone explain what I’m missing.

  • Good …. And Bad

    The presenters are quite knowledgeable and informative. The problem is you have to be able to understand. Often times they sound like the warnings at the end of some commercials where they talk a mile a minute. Do they increase the playback speed due to time constraints? Also one of the presenters is unable to express herself without saying “like” multiple times in each sentence. I stopped listening regularly in favor of a different podcast. They are so good that I do listen once in a while in t... more
