    Gold Standard: USA Women Olympians and the WNBA's First Rev Share in History
    2026/02/26
    The Winter Olympics are over, and Sue and Megan have all the takes, from gushing over the US Women Olympians, like Hilary Knight, Laila Edwards, and Alysa Liu, to pitying the US Men’s Ice Hockey team for letting their victory get co-opted by a clown. We’re also talking about the USWNT’s roster heading into the SheBelieves Cup: who’s on the team, who’s not, and why it matters. And while we wait for more updates from the CBA negotiations, we’re celebrating the 2025 WNBA triggering a player rev share for the first time in history. We also have a new “Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue” – it’s pretty specific but we think it says a lot about how you go through the world, so tune in and let us know what you think. Finally, we had a couple of very special voicemails we’re sharing, including one fun question about how we fostered our queer community back in the day.

    2026/01/29
    Megan and Sue remember Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was killed by Customs and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, and share their thoughts on how to fight feeling overwhelmed with despair. One place to start is to call your Senators, who are voting this week on whether to continue funding ICE through September. As Sue explains on the show, Sharon McMahon makes this very easy through her website, check it out here. For the rest of the show, Megan and Sue take a look at Trinity Rodman’s record-breaking salary with the Washington Spirit, and the brewing rivalry between Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark – and why rivalries are a good thing for the league. Plus, UConn is now the last college women’s basketball team standing undefeated. Does it matter? And Mexico’s flag football star Diana Flores joins us to talk about her new book, Flag Football for Dummies, and what it means for the sport to make its Olympic debut in 2028. Finally, Sue and Megan send their flowers to Marina Mabrey and her “crashout jar” with a montage of their favorite moments of Marina crashing out.

  • New year, New Intentions and New Leagues: 2026 Could Change Everything!

    New year, New Intentions and New Leagues: 2026 Could Change Everything!
    2026/01/08
    It’s a new year, and Megan and Sue have a new set of intentions for 2026 to share. But first they’re checking in on how they did on last year’s intentions: Did Megan develop her green thumb? Did Sue read more consistently? Then, 2026 is shaping up to be a banner year in women’s sports. Several leagues are expanding AND women’s sports are getting a full season of professional lacrosse and the first women’s professional baseball league since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League featured in A League of Their Own). Given all these new and burgeoning leagues, Megan and Sue reminisce on being part of young, brand new, and – in Megan’s case – folding leagues. Plus, Sue tells us if she’d been forced to choose between playing overseas (where the salaries were much higher) and staying stateside, which one she’d choose.
