This is by far the best WBB podcast, but I hope to see the competition stiffen. Lots of respect for Ben & Sabreena and I appreciate their insight. They’ve got to get more timely to stay relevant. Right now I’m listening to an episode posted this morning which totally disregards the last weekend (Memorial Day weekend) of basketball, because it was clearly recorded before. Some of the storylines have completely changed (hello Storm) so it doesn’t work. Last week’s advertorial interview with DT masquerading as journalism was really disappointing from The Athletic. If you’re going to advertise eczema medication to us, call it that.

As a long-time Womens hoops fan, I was thrilled to find this gem of a show on Womens college ball, WNBA, and more. It’s fun, informative, and an overall great listen.

This podcast is the perfect combination of analytical review and thoughtful conversation. Not afraid to disagree and discuss differing opinions of each other.

The social commentary on this podcast based purely on lazy social media narratives has really ruined it for me. The WNBA is a fantastic product with amazing players and endless on-court storylines and commentary. It’s disappointing we can’t focus on that.

I love starting my morning with this crew. Great content, incredible basketball knowledge, funny and great chemistry.

I’m a huge women’s bball fan, so I’m a lock as a listener…but this podcast is awkward. Zena sounds like she’s trying to fill time; the way she mixes and matches idioms mid-sentence actually blows my mind sometimes. I truly don’t know if she knows what she’s saying. The reporters try to humor her, but they often seem confused by what she’s saying or embarrassed to re-explain a point. Can WBB get a better podcaster at the helm here?

Name that Clark creator knows their audience! The Annie Clark clue was chefs kiss. Shoutout to the W’s loyal lesbian fans who all knew this answer! 🌈

My go to basketball source. As a girls basketball coach, college hoops and wnba season ticket holder, I need all the basketball insights. This coverage gives me it! Also, Zena is the best!! She’s engaging, funny, and has an approachable way of framing things. So glad she’s running this!! Keep it up Zena and team!!

This is such a smart and entertaining pod. Absolutely love all the hosts. Thank you for bringing women’s basketball brilliance into my home!

The best women’s basketball podcast, covering all aspects and levels of the sport. Impeccably professional. LOVE Zena, the best host - period.

The energy of Zena as the host and the collective insights of the writers make this one the best out there in a growing pool of podcasts dedicated to women’s hoops. I appreciate the reporting and opinions and roundtables - great listen, always.

The four podelists (a take on panelists) are terrific. Thank you!

I am a loyal listener even through frustration with the failure of the pod to live up to its potential. I especially laud Zena and her approach of asking questions and saying what she means. Sabreena is also great. Because of them, the podcast has historically been way better than the Athletic’s written + paywalled WBB coverage (which disproportionately covers white players and often substitutes mass-emailed anonymous surveys for in-depth reporting). Still, the podcast needs greater depth of reporting and analysis beyond the clickbait of big stars, and more expertise from contributors. Case in point: why is an NFL reporter being invited to give analysis of NCAAW March Madness? Feels disrespectful to the game + the players.

As an older woman still developing her basketball IQ — and loving the process! — I find the podcast to be both factual and opinionated, based on solid reporting. Another solid step forward for women’s sports!

As someone who is relatively new to women’s basketball, I cannot recommend this podcast more! It’s super smart, polished, thoughtful, and insightful. I learn something new with every listen and appreciate the varied opinions (often backed up by stats). Every episode is timely, keeping you up to date. Very worth your time.

I do love this podcast and listen regularly. Chantel this piece on Kate was wonderful. Thanks for the time and effort that went into everyone in making this episode.

As a women’s basketball junkie, I can say hands down this is the best coverage you’ll find in the pod world. I loved the Kate Koval special report - you guys should do that regularly! Sometimes when Ben gets excited he gets a little loud/squeaky audio wise, but other than that I have no notes! Thank you for giving us a solid resource in the podcast world.

Ok 5 stars for everyone. First for Kate her family and coaches, and next for Chantel and the entire production team. Such a heartfelt way to share Kate and her family’s story - so well done!!!’

Regular listener just here to say that today’s special episode from Chantel was so great. Loved it. High five to the team that made it happen. Love learning more about players!

This podcast is perfect for me - new (ish) to the wnba and ncaawb. Thanks for keeping me informed and helping me understand what’s going on Go Gamecocks!

I echo the sentiments of all the other reviewers that this is a GREAT space for getting intel and learning more about the nuances of a fantastic league… but the content is too unreliable! We just had an INSANE game 1 of the WNBA Finals and CRICKETS from this feed!?!?! I can understand the lag during the season but this is the pinnacle of the sport and game 2 will happen before we hear one word about game 1 😒

I think Ben, Sabreena and Chantel bring great content and Zeina brings great energy. A fun listen and feel like I learn a lot. As a new fan would love more insights into history of different franchises and players, any intriguing drama or storylines we might be missing if it’s our first couple of seasons paying attention!

OK, I’ve only listened to one episode - the most recent one that covered post-Olympics topics & the trade deadline. 1) For covering three topics, the episode seemed too long (> 1 hr) and seemed to repeat comments during each segment. 2) During the last segment on the trade deadline, the comments kept repeating how this is actually not a thing and that there was zero possibility that there would be a trade. Then, the next day, Gabby Williams sings with the Storm. There was a recent article in the Athletic covering this possibility! 3) I know you may feel overloaded with Caitlin Clark talking points, but was it worth a mention that she broke another record in post-Olympics play? (Most assists by a rookie.) Even if you think she is getting too much attention, she’s why the WNBA is getting so much more attention. Give your audience what they want. I don’t mean to be so negative, but I need more relevant, concise, and accurate content if you want to keep me (and I’m guessing others) as listeners. Cheers & good luck.

I’ve been waiting a long time to find a space that talks basketball with content that’s interesting and a host that can intrigue conversation! This podcast makes me want to jump through the speakers and be at the table with this group of people. With such a packed schedule in the W this season, I was hoping for more episodes but I’ll take what I can get! Endless gratitude for this pod.

Fantastic women’s basketball podcast.. so much knowledge. Thanks!

As you noted, quality WNBA coverage is very thin compared to the huge increase in interest. This pod is the best I could find by far, as a new fan who started watching last season and am trying to get deeper this year (along with several friends). Really love it! But once a week with occasional bonus episode feels way to rare though to cover a whole league which has a condensed season and has a ton of broader dynamics going on outside of the actual play. I'm confused why the Athletic isn't trying to invest more and ramp up coverage and extend a lead they have in this space already. I'd love to listen to you all on wnba content but find myself going to worse pods who are producing several times a week during the season. Or, if the Athletic won't do it, would love the hosts to plug their personal pods / articles where we could read recaps on games throughout the week.

This is my favorite women’s basketball/WNBA podcast! I only wish there was more of it. Only 1-2 episodes per week during a very condensed WNBA season just isn’t enough. Truly love this podcast, reading Sabreena and Ben on The Athletic, and the quality of the content and conversation. Just want more of it! Great job guys.

I love this show and have been following for a long time. But six days between episodes?? The W season is rolling and there is nothing for you to talk about?? We’re waiting for an episode. we love you Atlantic crew come on.

I am so excited that I found this podcast. I am a sports nerd but a very recent bandwagon fan of women’s basketball, and I love how y’all are able to keep this a sold rigorous sports podcast while understanding that some of your newer listeners may need some background on who these players are, what their history is, relevant pieces of wnba history, etc. I’m learning a lot and it’s helping to grow my excitement around this wnba season! Thank you!

Love listening to this podcast and I really like Zena Keita. Super knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Would love to talk sports with her

So glad we have a show with great analysis and important behind the scenes content for the WNBA! Need more of this.

I just listened to the first show. It was fantastic. The analysts are very professional and knowldegable. The pace resulted in a fast-moving conversation with no gaps. Bravo.
