Podcast Addict511 days agoKJB- Feedback for Annie
Hi! I have really loved this podcast in the past, so I’ve tried to get on board when Annie joined the show, but ultimately I think it’s time to part ways until Annie is off the show or develops her takes better. She can be quite emotionally reactive and sometimes catty in her responses, and she often centers herself in situations that are about the basketball or the players. She also sometimes interrupts Zena and Sabreena or can go off on long tangents and it messes with the flow of the show. I ... more

United States22 days ago - I like it
Pretty fun show! I love hearing the hearing more about the wnba history and stats I wasn’t aware of. Giving it a 3 cause it’s a pod with all the history and knowledge just to arrive at terrible conclusions. I’m 10000% sure they failed their research class.
Apple Podcasts3c237moreUnited Statesa month ago - Miss when this show was good
This has been my go-to basketball pod for the last couple years with great analysis and ways for me to catch up on games in the W. I held on after Ben left as the amount of analysis and basketball knowledge dipped, loved the addition of Layshia but still felt like the pod needed another basketball mind to bring back the details. Adding Annie has changed the dynamic in the opposite direction and I sadly had to hit the “unsubscribe” button after over 2 years. The pod is now more “hot takes”, rumor... more
Apple Podcasts2tsukeyUnited Statesa month ago - The downfall of this podcast should be studied.
Was previously the gold standard for women’s basketball podcasts. Fair and balanced and knowledgeable commentary. The episode on trading cards with Annemarie was excellent. Once Ben left this turned into a tabloid rag. With biased takes and no data or facts to support claims. It is more about the drama of things and it is clear certain players are more liked than others. Do not listen if you dare to be a fan of Caitlin Clark for instance.
