The WNBA will smash ratings records featuring Chelsea Clinton
We break down the results of the WNBA draft and Sue looks into her crystal ball to predict a record-breaking season for the W.
And then Chelsea Clinton talks with us about how women’s sports can advance progressive ideas, who are her latest additions to her list of gutsy women, and Sue reveals when she first met Chelsea. Of course we don’t let her go without a little Bench/Start/Cut.

Answering Your Questions & Catching Up With Lauren Cheney Holiday
This week, we open up the mailbag and answer some of your most burning questions. Like when did Sue realize Megan was the funniest person ever? Will Sue ever coach a WNBA team? What’s our nap schedule?
And then we share a very personal conversation we had with World Cup champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lauren Cheney Holiday at the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.
Lauren tells us what drives her to invest in women’s sports, how the industry could enable women athletes’ involvement in the business, and her up-close insights into what women’s sports needs to grow. Megan and Lauren also reminisce about the NWSL and do some serious fan-girling over the new generation of soccer players.

We’ll discuss the highs of the final and then bring you our interview with UConn legend and WNBA champ, Diana Taurasi, live from the Final Four in Tampa, Florida.
We sat down with DT to discuss UConn’s legacy and impact, and dug into the vault to share some favorite Coach Auriemma stories. Plus, what she’s been up to post-retirement, her favorite YouTube-acquired DIY skills, and, as usual, a game; this one includes some never-before-seen photos of Diana over the years.

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 chat through this and all the possibilities that could go down in the final stretch.
And then onto our Unrivaled Championship Spectacular. We speak to series Champ and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray and the inaugural MVP and 1-on-1 champ Napheesa Collier.
Chelsea talks about playing with Angel Reese, the beef that WILL spillover to the W season, and shares some of the ways she’d like to see Unrivaled evolve next year.
Then, Napheesa reflects on what it means to start a successful new league, and if she’s going to continue her scorched earth streak into next year.

Our Message to Juju Watkins & Sweet 16 Predictions
We’re halfway through March Madness -- time to take a close look at the teams and players in the Sweet 16. And we discuss a path forward for USC after Juju Watkins's season-ending ACL injury -- sending our heartfelt best wishes to Juju! We’re going to miss her in the tourney, but know she’ll be back.
Checking in on our bracket, we share some tough lessons we’ve learned the hard way and the matchups we’re looking forward to. Plus, we drop a little behind-the-scenes look of Megan “locked-in” at game time.
And we’re introducing a new segment: Make it Make Sense, where we’ll call out things that just don’t add up. Like: when fans chant “overrated" at an opposing team, are they committing a self-own? This leads Megan and Sue to recollect their all-time best heckle moments.
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.
Tune in for a special announcement on an upcoming live show with a very special guest! Get your tix here.
