Absolutely LOVED the episode with Alysha Clark and have enjoyed the episodes digging into some of Ben Hamilton’s features. Glad to have Chantel back but I miss the candor, insight and nuance that Layshia brought. Having a recent player’s POV really enhanced the show. The stunt guests from other podcasts is not it. That’s not what I come to No Offseason for. Actually had to google a recent guest to see if she was credentialed media because her analysis was so unedifying.

United States16 days ago - Just not the same…
I was thrilled when this pod came out a few years ago as a big women’s basketball fan. Sadly over the course of the year, it’s kind of fallen off a bit. I think some journalists are better off as writers, some are better off as podcasters and it’s okay that sometimes they can’t do both and this pod suffers from that. Hopefully they find their way again!
Apple Podcasts3milkncookies5United Statesa month ago - Transphobia
Had to turn off when Candace Buckner said “I’m not hating on trans… but girls should not be playing with biological men.” Disgusting that you would air this transphobic speech. Lost a listener.
Apple Podcasts1byccywyxUnited Statesa month ago - Used to love, but now?
Zena is so biased it’s actually impossible y listen anymore. “The investigation can’t be accurate bc it’s a bunch of Indiana Fever fans ????” This is actual garbage. Whether this is supposed to be news or gossip, it’s still bad. It’s bad faith putting out nasty narratives with zero evidence to substantiate. Truly just cannot listen to this show anymore.
