Hoops, Humor, and Great Chemistry

This podcast is a must-listen for anyone into women’s basketball. The hosts have incredible chemistry and an easy, natural back-and-forth. They have a perfect balance—she brings sharp insight and passion for the game, and he adds humor and thoughtful takes that round out the conversation beautifully. What really makes it stand out is how they cover all the big basketball news without ever making it feel heavy. They keep things light, fun, and super engaging while still digging into the important stuff. Whether you're a longtime fan or just getting into women’s hoops, this podcast is an entertaining and informative weekly listen.

Factual Errors

I really enjoy the energy of this podcast. The hosts are funny and have great banter. However, they make several factual errors each episode. I know it’s not strictly a news podcast but it does make for a bit of a frustrating listen at times. In the most recent episode, Curt Miller was discussed as the new coach of the Wings when he will be taking over as GM. Cam Brink also is not playing in unrivaled this season even though she is listed on a team. Perhaps I’m being pedantic. I do enjoy listening to the podcast but it would be even better if they cleaned up some of the errors.

Love

Really loving this podcast but I had to submit my team name concepts for the new Toronto WNBA team, in no particular order: The Toronto Blizzard (Ice could be cool too) The Toronto Geese (absolutely a terrifying idea imo) The Toronto T-Rex (tie in with the Raptors)
Women's basketball rules!

Funny

Love the newbie style. FYI: A’ja’s chip is barbeque
Acw word genius!

Great rapport

Learning about the W, having fun and showing their love for the game. I’m smiling after every episode!
