    Thanks for the trip down memory lane for all us HC WBB alums - our fans were awesome, and that game was one of the most memorable for all of us "safety school, safety school"!

    Horrible
    A wasted hour of my time I’ll never get back. These 2 are the worst, especially moron Megan!
  • LSUChiCub
    Loved them as players, love them as amazing people, and love them as a couple.
    Two of the most charismatic and amazing podcasters you’ll ever listen to, the unfair part is that they’re also two of the most amazing athletes to walk the face of the planet. Love y’all so much, keep it going!!

    This podcast has an obviously great genious IQ and are 10/10 on WNBA, Unrivaled, Soccer (Fútbol) and so much more. As a former college softball player, and with pro softball having its “first official draft”recently, I would love to hear y’all’s take on @theauslofficial ! All the love 🏳️‍🌈!

    Favorite Pod
    This is my favorite podcast right now and maybe ever. Looks like the negative reviews are all people who aren’t exactly in the target market. Intelligent and talented women are not for everybody I guess!!! Big love.
  • DMillerD
    Excellent Listen!
    Thoughtful, nuanced and fun conversations about women’s sports, etc. One of the best parts of my weeks. Thanks!
  • Anna Grammer
    Love
    These are two of my favorite all time athletes. That said, I was still initially skeptical about listening to two rich white women talk- seemed bound for the typical mess. But no, I really appreciate the love and care these two put into considering and highlighting the reality and political context that our love of sports exists in. Love from Chicago!
  • Islandnomas
    I thought you moved?
    Didn’t Meghan move to another country because they hate America. Good luck and no thanks.

    Bluesky
    I have been active in sports since I was a kid (over 60 years ago). I absolutely love your podcast. The two of you present very intelligent, insightful and fun commentary. I would like to ask that you consider joining and endorsing Bluesky. It is an alternative to X (Twitter) and is not run by Musk or frequented by all the right wing crowd. I would like to get off X but have stayed on because of all the athletes and sports teams that are there. I would love to encourage an exodus by these accounts!! I would appreciate it if you would spread the word. Thanks!

    The BEST
    I am a huge women’s sports fan and an athlete myself. Sports has always been huge in my life. This podcast is the best one out there on sports, culture & humanity! I have been waiting my whole sports life for this attention and accessibility to female athletes and their stories. Megan and Sue know the issues and speak to the growth, challenges and opportunities that are happening in women’s sports in a way that makes the listener feel they are part of insider knowledge. I absolutely love it and savor every episode.

    Not good
    This podcast is sooooo freaking boring.

    Love the combo
    Love the combo of sports plus also their lives and culture!

    “Lady”
    I’m wondering about your feelings about women’s teams being called the, “lady ____”. I’m watching college soccer playoffs and the “lady volunteers” are playing the “lady Hokies”. Why? Aren’t they just Volunteers and Hokies? Why is it assumed it’s the men’s team if it is just the mascot? Thanks for your show. I enjoy listening to you.

    Big Fan of the Pod
    Long time (4 week) listener, first time reviewer. I have really been enjoying the pod. I love the sports hot takes from both Megan and Sue. Sue is clearly so knowledgeable and professional and Megan is as well, but is also so committed to being a hater, in the best way. Lots of great guests and discussions so far. The only ‘issue’ I have with the pod is that sometimes I cannot tell Megan and Sue’s voices apart. Big fan, will continue to listen.
  • Archer Banks
    Thank you!
    I am very much enjoying hearing this podcast with two amazing athletes. Thank you, Megan and Sue, for your fierce play and continued enthusiasm for competitive sports. I have enjoyed watching your careers.
  • lfrobins
    Fantastic take on women’s sports
    First, to counter the 1 star review that just wrote, “Lesbians,” I would like to attribute my 5 stars to the fact that Megan and Sue are lesbians. You are courageous and inspiring, and I love to see you both thrive in your retirement together. Second, I love how well Megan and Sue address the social context of women’s athletics, with the breakdowns of the CBAs, the sense through which they examine media coverage of women’s sports, all of it. I listen every week and am always excited when there’s a new episode. I petition for some merch, please!

    Yuck
    Floating pile of garbage of a podcast. Don’t waste your time.
  • kap5271
    LITERAL SHEROES 👏👏👏
    I consider myself a women’s sports podcast aficionada—from Late Sub with Claire to Attacking Third with Lisa & Sandra to the ReCap Show with Tobin & Christen to the Women’s Game with Sam, I love it all. But this one is simply above the rest. The way that Sue & Megan cover the most captivating topics at the intersection of women and sports is next level. They are sorting through topics in a way that *should* push forward society’s understanding and treatment of women in the sporting world and beyond. Keep ‘em coming gals!
  • reggeee
    Not everyone should have a podcast.
    Horrible. Rapinoe is so full of herself its unbearable! Next.

    Megan is an Idiot
    I swear Megan is the biggest idiot I’ve ever seen speak. Can’t wait till we never have to hear from her again.

    Favorite show
    No notes. Love everything about this show! It’s been really fun getting to know Megan and Sue more intimately. Great job balancing heavy, important conversations as well as the fun!
  • AlexDaHunter
    Game Changers on the Mic
    I love listening to Megan and Sue each week. Their podcast blends insightful conversations, humor, and authenticity. Their chemistry is so on point that each episode feels like a conversation between friends but it remains thought provoking. Looking forward to more episodes.

    Megan is awful
    Wow. I was a fan of Rapinoe’s soccer skills but that doesn’t translate to podcasting. Wow, she is awful! Then I did some research and discovered she isn’t for protecting women’s sports. She actually favors allowing men to take hormones to play in women’s sports!
  • hiimfab
    Really enjoy this show
    Great show. The Alex Morgan interview was so good. I appreciate all of you so much for what you’ve done for women’s sports.

  • L in Oaktown
    Fantastic
    Loved these two as athletes. Loved them during the pandemic and I love what they are doing post retirement. Highly recommend watching this show on YouTube, if only for Megan’s gestures and facial expressions.
  • jimhorlan
    Needs some sound engineering
    Whatever one thinks of their opinions, their voices are pretty similar, so perhaps the engineer could do something about that in post production. I think it would work well as a YouTube show
  • Francis J Fox
    This is fantastic!!!
    It’s like sitting down w/ my 2 besties..!!

    Podcast
    It’s one of the the best kind of things I love to listen too
  • Spewbag.
    This was sorely needed.
    Love analysts but the bottom line is it’s the ladies who are or have been part of the grind that know what is what and who is who. Love the honesty and the extreme lack of cattiness.
  • Caseylee213
    Ten Stars
    I underestimated how much I would love this podcast. Sometimes pods with partners can be irritating because of their own relationship stuff but I should have known to expect better from gay girlies. So much knowledge and so much fun!
  • Iamnotarobot0101001
    If the ads are any indication
    No thank you.
  • Montanez74
    Work in progress
    This show is just starting, which means it’s going to take some time. I agree with another poster on here who said it’s very difficult to tell who is speaking at times. What I also find interesting is that each one has a great personality, but they come across as too reserved most of the time. It’s almost as if they are not being themselves. Listen to the craziness of the Kelce brothers; yes they can be much at time. But you can’t deny they are having fun. I do think the show will get better as they get more episodes under their belt. But be yourselves more. I think that will also help with the confusion of who’s talking. I wish them much success.

    This is what I’ve been waiting for

  • Becktile
    Fun podcast
    It’s nice to hear women talk about sports! Very knowledgeable and they have great insights. One suggestion, it would be helpful if they would introduce themselves at the top of the show—they sound so similar to each other that it’s hard to know who is talking. I look forward to hearing more episodes!

    GOATS
    I’m so glad this pod is back. I love hearing from these two greats. Basketball analysis by Thee Sue Bird and Futbol analysis by Thee Megan Rapinoe. To be fair, they both cover all of the sports and so many issues impacting the communities I care about. 😂 I still struggle to tell their voices apart though, so watching them on YouTube is great too!

    Such a huge fan!
    Always loved women’s soccer. Rapinoe is a star! Loved how Rapinoe could see the new players skill and love for the sport and team. And recently because of Sue have really gotten into women’s basketball. This Olympics for both women’s teams have been fire! Thank you for shouting out the unsung hero’s of the teams and spot lighting their achievements and contributions. Also Sue way to really break down the players and their positions so the newbs to basketball like myself can get into the game. Great podcast! Love the athlete interviews too! Thanks guys!
  • Puertorisian
    So stoked about your pod!
    The two of you are world-class in every way: smart, articulate, funny, brave and strong! So eager to follow this next chapter in your journey. Congratulations. Can’t wait to buy the merch!
  • ashleyepyne
    I love everything about this podcast
    I am a huge basketball and specifically Sue Bird fan. I loved her NCAA Final Four commentary with Diana the last few years and this feels like a natural extension of that. Obviously her chemistry with Megan is fire. They are couple goals. I loved how this episode covered so much ground. I also loved how they gave Candance room to answer and really discuss what she wanted to. I can’t say enough about this first episode and am looking forward to the rest of this season!
  • K Fick
    Amazing show!
    Love you two and how easy it is to listen to you both! Appreciate your perspective on sports but also things happening outside of sports! Can’t wait to keep listening and enjoy Paris!
  • KJ 785
    Hilarious and insightful
    So glad these two are resurrecting their IG live show which was my lifeline in early pandemic days! (Seriously, I scheduled plans around it.) They have so much to say and know so many fascinating people, but even if they didn’t, they’re entertaining enough that I could listen to them talking about paint drying. Love this show.
  • Sunny H20
