The Best & Worst of the New WNBA Season With Breanna Stewart
This week we are live from New York for the Liberty’s home opener, with extra special guest Breanna Stewart! We have lots of thoughts on the opening weekend of the WNBA: who impressed us with their game and with their fits. And we’re not happy with the media’s coverage of Caitlin Clark’s hard foul on Angel Reese. We tell you why. With Stewie, she reveals the best advice Sue ever gave her, and what she thinks about the Liberty’s newest additions, Marine Johannès and Natasha Cloud. She also tells us how she really feels about Aaliyah Edwards beating her in Unrivaled. Of course, we couldn’t let her go without asking her about that 2024 foul call.  Stick around for a little check-in after the live event. We share some punishing responses to last week’s Bicker of the Week about Megan’s criminal behavior with the ice cream.

The Final Four with Chelsea Gray & Napheesa Collier
The Final Four is officially official. Why has the tournament been so low-scoring so far? And does that mean the team with a Certified Bucket Getter (CBG) is primed to win it all?

We speak to series Champ and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray and the inaugural MVP and 1-on-1 champ Napheesa Collier.

And the verdict is in on last week’s Bicker of the Week aka the sunscreen fiasco, but Megan and Sue settle things their own way.

Nikki Hiltz & Gabby Thomas on Track, Paychecks & Representation: LIVE from SXSW
This week, we’re coming to you straight from SXSW in Austin, where we sat down with two of the fastest people on the planet—Olympic track stars Nikki Hiltz and Gabby Thomas. But first, we’ll check in on where women’s sports stand today and what needs to happen to keep the momentum going for the next 100 years. We’re talking investment, Gen Alpha’s sports habits, and why women’s sports constantly have to break records just to prove their worth. Then, Nikki and Gabby get real about life as pro track athletes—how they actually make money, the highs and lows of competing in an individual sport, and, of course, who’s faster? They also weigh in on what needs to change to make women’s sports safer and better for everyone, plus why trans athlete representation is more important than ever. And to wrap it up, we put them through a few rounds of Bench/Start/Cut and settle this week’s Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue: do you fall asleep with the TV on or off?
