  • Love this

    Great podcast and great hosts. Smart, good vibe, funny, informative, fresh perspective. We don’t need any more men talking about sports. Women talking about sports, especially women’s sports is what we want. Keep it up.

  • Well Worthwhile

    My husband and I listen during dinner. He’s not a big sports fan guy but I am a sports fan lady. I really enjoy listening to a female prospective of sports and now so does he and it gives us something to discuss rather than the dismissal daily news. Puts smiles on our faces.

  • Love a Different Sports Perspective

    I am a huge sports fan generally but this podcast brings a different and very much needed female perspective to all the action. I enjoy the focus on female sports and athletes and the interweaving of pop culture with all the current sports news. I knock off one star because sometimes the information can be a little inaccurate or the cohosts just don’t know all the rules of what they are discussing.
