A Touch More with Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe

We’re bringing you our live show from Phoenix, with special guests four-time WNBA champ Chelsea Gray and Naismith Coach of the Year Shea Ralph! 

They talk about the low-scoring, but extremely eventful NCAA semifinals, the wild activity in the transfer portal, and of course the final NCAA match-up.  

Chelsea describes what she expects to see once free agency kicks off and Shea remembers playing with baby Sue at UConn 26 years ago. And Megan and Sue subject them both to a review of their more questionable fashion choices with some photos from the vault.

We’re bringing you a CBA extravaganza, with two insiders to help us unpack the WNBA’s new CBA: three-time champion and WNBPA vice president Alysha Clark, and ESPN basketball analyst Andraya Carter. 

Alysha Clark was in the room during the round-the-clock negotiations; she tells us what it was like inside the hotel conference rooms, and how the players were able to push through this transformative deal. 

Andraya Carter zooms out to look at what the accomplishment means for the business overall, how it will impact college basketball, and what the players won besides salary. Plus, she gives us a sneak peak into how she’s watching the biggest match ups during March Madness, the impending free agency bonanza, and introduces us to her life partner: a ball python named Nothing.

And since we’re down to the Sweet Sixteen, we have some THOUGHTS on who made it to the next round.

JuJu Watkins, USC’s superstar shooting guard, joins us to talk about how she’s been keeping busy and improving her game while she recuperates from her ACL tear. 

No news is bad news in WNBA land, but we still give a quick update on the CBA negotiations as we all hold our breath for a good outcome.

On the NCAA front, Sue breaks down the upsets coming out of the SEC tournament and their impacts on Selection Sunday, which has been called the “stickiest bubble in years.” Can USC pull through despite a few setbacks? And who will get the number one seed? 

And with the USWNT taking home the SheBelieves Cup, Megan reflects on seeing the different generations of US women’s soccer come together, and the remarkable current generation that is coalescing around a new core.

Plus, we have a special guest: Robin Arzón tells us her philosophy on self-talk, how she maintains body positivity in the fitness industry, and how to get your protein as a vegan. Check out Robin’s new podcast “Project Swagger” on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
