  • Best Blazers ladies out there!

    This podcast will never fall to make you smile, laugh and think about basketball and life with fun, entertaining individuals and they do with it with heart. Their guests always add a great dimension as well. Tara and Cassidy make a great team and offer a great balance to each other. Have had the great pleasure of meeting Tarab in person and she's the warm, bubbly person you hear on the podcast. Much love!

    Stellar content from a technical standpoint AND from a humanizing-the-players perspective. I’m forever invested in what Tara (Team Mom) and Cassidy create and their take is accessible and informative! <3
