  • Great content!

    I love listening to this podcast. Very heavily WNBA focus, but they do cover a lot of other women’s sports that don’t get wide coverage.

  • Good pod that always leaves me wanting more from it

I hate to say it, but sometimes I feel like this podcast ... more

  • We Need To Talk Now About This Podcast

    5/5, hosts are funny, knowledge, fair, and balanced. I have enjoyed their episodes and I hope it continues weekly, please do twice a week especially during the college season if possible. Now about the question that was posed in the last episode, the WNBA should expand to Des Moines Iowa in my opinion!
