I have learned so much and better appreciate the game in the W. The episode on Pride month is outstanding!

As I’ve stated before this show is unique its coverage, but to not to pick Clark for the All Star game when she is leading the league in assists and is sixth in scoring is typical of some of the hosts bias against Clark. I’ve put it off, however, it’s now time to unsubscribe.

Adding Layshia on this show has elevated an already excellent show. Thank you so much for the analysis, insight, and honesty. Sports are a microcosm for society and I love that this pod understands that!!
Apple Podcasts5MissClover007United Statesa month ago - Normally 5 stars
Follow-up: Zena still not getting the backlash to the hot take episode. “You’re not the birthday” based on the timeout clip removed from the context of the game is not providing useful analysis! It sure didn’t seem like Zena or Annie actually watched that game.
Annie and Zena were on some nonsense this most recent episode when discussing Clark and the Fever. She literally is bigger than the program! That is what has everyone over analyzing everything with her and the team.
Apple Podcasts2jwspiessUnited Statesa month ago - Last couple episodes seem off…
I will start with I really have enjoyed the show. It has been smart, bold and makes me think. However, the last couple episodes (team makeup and hot takes) have seemed to slip; meaning less analysis and more locker room opinion. Example, on the team makeup episode, there was fantastic analysis by Zena, but it felt like the other host wanted proof that what the Portland Fire did (let 3 players go) wasn’t racist, rather than proof that it was. There are too many reasons why people are retrenched... more
