  • Simply the best.

    Haven’t missed an episode and always look forward to the next drop. I grew up watching Foudy play and respect Abby so much. My fave episodes have been learning about all the impact BJK has had on women’s sports—unbelievable! Thank you for coming back to sports, Abby! And thank you for giving so many voices a platform to truly be heard! Just please take the OOSA chant slow, so you can actually do it together 😂

  • Great podcast!

    Love this podcast for the incredible behind the scenes look into all different women’s sports throughout all levels and in the past, present and future. Incredible guests too, my personal fave was Geno (but I’m biased being a UConn diehard).
