Episodes
We get into the viral takeover that was StudBudz! Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman may have outshined the league itself. Also, the players also made their voices heard with a powerful “Pay Us What You Owe Us” moment during All-Star Weekend.
Plus: Emma Meesseman’s surprise move to the Liberty—what it means for the title race, team chemistry, and the evolution of WNBA superteams.
Is Arike Ogunbowale really having a bad season, or are we just expecting too much? We kick things off with a deep dive on Arike’s performance, the pressure she faces in Dallas, and whether the criticism is fair.
Then we break down DeWanna Bonner’s move to Phoenix and what it means for the Mercury’s future. Sabrina Ionescu’s comments about her closer relationship with NBA commissioner Adam Silver than Cathy Engelbert raise eyebrows ...
The 2025 WNBA All-Star reserves have been announced! We break down the surprises and the snubs. Plus, NaLyssa Smith was traded to Vegas, the league announced three new expansion teams, and the players rejected the first CBA negotiation offer. We also discuss Nikki Blue’s lawsuit against the Phoenix Mercury and Hannah Hidalgo’s huge AmeriCup performance.
We kick things off with the DeWanna Bonner of it all. She’s out of Indiana and reportedly looking to play in Phoenix — but we had to ask: what really went down with the Fever?
Then we dive into your 2025 WNBA All-Star captains, Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier. We also unpack the drama around Portland’s expansion team — from rocky leadership changes to the fact that the team still doesn’t have a name. And yes, we’re absolutely ta...
We’re back! Natalie was off filming a show in Montreal, so we hit pause — but now we’re back and diving headfirst into the W.
This week, we’re talking about the nonexistent WNBA marketing in Canada (even with the Toronto Tempo coming next season), the Fever vs. Sun brawl that left us with more questions than answers, and the Chicago Sky’s ongoing coaching chaos. Plus, there are early rumblings about CBA negotiations.
The good, the ...
The Liberty dropped 48 on the Sun. The Aces got cooked by the Valkyries. And Courtney Vandersloot tore her ACL. On top of that, we’re asking what’s going on with Rickea and the Sparks, and there’s more Seattle Storm drama, if you can believe it.
Things got spicy between Natalie and Greg during the first half of the episode... that’s always fun.
Yeah… It’s been an interesting week in the W.
In this episode, we unpack the Sky, Wings, and the Sun, finally getting in the wins column, the Fever being plagued by injuries and coaching, and the Liberty and Lynx looking like they'll be a Finals rematch. Also: Paige Bueckers is out with a concussion, the Commissioner’s Cup is throwing crypto around again, and yes—we’re yelling about the overlapping game times (Cathy, why?!?!?). Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before the...
On this episode, we dive into the Sky’s struggle era, the Fever’s coach filing emotional complaints with the refs, and the Liberty and Lynx looking like they’re headed back to the Finals. Meanwhile, the Mystics are quietly plotting—and Arike and Jewell? Let’s just say... it might be time for a performance review.
Welcome to the first episode of Club Hoops!
On this episode, we're talking the W’s big opening weekend: Valkyries’ debut, the Aces looking shaky, Angel vs Caitlin, and who’s already making a case for MVP and ROY.
