    I was never really into podcasts, but now I tune in to this one every week. It’s inspiring to hear women’s sports being discussed by women who care so much about it. This podcast is uplifting and fun, and I would recommend it to everyone!

  • Get me off the betrayal list!

    Elizabeth Granier here and I have been listening to the podcast for at least a year! My love of LSU and Kim Mulkey brought me to the podcast but have enjoyed the WNBA talk Tennis and other sports

    Coverage some swimming as that has become our lives with a 13yr old daughter who lives in the pool!

    So hopefully now I am off the list!

  • A podcast for fans by fans

    I still remember when I found this pod at their beginning. I’ve been a weekly listener since. There are many podcasts now featuring current and former pro athletes (which I also love!) but Women’s Sports Weekly offers a relatable fan perspective to fellow fans. I enjoy hearing other fans notice the same things I do. I wholeheartedly recommend this pod to anyone I know and would encourage all fans to do the same!

  • Love the podcast

    I just found this podcast and absolutely love that they are a queer couple promoting women’s sports. They are well researched and introduce me to sports that I know less about like lacrosse and ultimate frisbee.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thayer Lavielle on Investment, Fandom & the Future of the Game |128|
Q: What's the strategic value of venue naming rights for women's teams?
Naming rights provide hundreds of millions in long-term revenue, signaling commitment to investors, enabling control of the fan experience, and unlocking sponsorship and partner opportunities tied to the venue's identity and market.
Thayer Lavielle on Investment, Fandom & the Future of the Game |128|
Q: What are the key variables you use to value women's sports across clubs and leagues?
We assess around 40 variables, including city market, front office structure, integration with men's teams, and separate sales mechanisms for tickets, which together help tailor investment narratives and identify where to plus up value.
Thayer Lavielle on Investment, Fandom & the Future of the Game |128|
Q: Can you break down why you believe equity will not happen by momentum but by design?
Equity requires intentional, long-term actions that build the infrastructure, governance, and investment signals necessary for sustained growth, rather than relying on a few favorable moments to drive change.
Interview with Andraya Carter |124|
Q: How did you navigate the transition after you stopped playing due to injuries?
She shares the emotional and practical shift, including rehab, shadowing, color analyst work, tutoring, and coaching, which helped her redefine her identity beyond playing and eventually led to a full-time broadcasting career.
Interview with Andraya Carter |124|
Q: What drew you to Tennessee in the first place?
She cites a combination of Pat Summitt's books, admiration for Candice Parker's legacy through her nana, and a powerful first visit that felt like home, which all contributed to Tennessee becoming the clear choice.
