A Touch More with Megan Rapinoe & Sue Bird

Everyone watches women's sports—and now, there's a podcast for that. Take a front row seat with world champion athletes Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, as they invite both new and longtime women's sports fans to join them in obsessing over the newest headlines and breaking down the sports landscape. Every week, they'll share deep cut stories from their experiences as athletes, and illuminate the intersection of sports and pop culture. Their energy is contagious, their guests are boldfaced names in sports and entertainment, and, bonus: you'll get a touch more insight into their lives together, too.

How Women Won at the Super Bowl

Unrivaled’s 1:1 tournament threw us some curveballs so we’re reassessing our predictions. Who shocked the world with some big upsets and what’s coming next? Let’s just say, some brackets are already busted. Then, it’s time to unpack Super Bowl 59. The Eagles ran the show, women’s sports took center stage in the commercials, and Kendrick left us decoding symbols and wondering if flares are back. Plus, we’ll get into the personal losses that pushed us to be better athletes. Sue’s College Basketball Vibe Check of the Week is back, as Tennessee breaks the Huskies’ 11-game winning streak and beat them for the first time since 2007. And finally—another round of Are you a Megan or are you a Sue? Yoga etiquette edition. This one gets a little personal.

Nikki Hiltz & Gabby Thomas on Track, Paychecks & Representation: LIVE from SXSW

This week, we’re coming to you straight from SXSW in Austin, where we sat down with two of the fastest people on the planet—Olympic track stars Nikki Hiltz and Gabby Thomas. But first, we’ll check in on where women’s sports stand today and what needs to happen to keep the momentum going for the next 100 years. We’re talking investment, Gen Alpha’s sports habits, and why women’s sports constantly have to break records just to prove their worth. Then, Nikki and Gabby get real about life as pro track athletes—how they actually make money, the highs and lows of competing in an individual sport, and, of course, who’s faster? They also weigh in on what needs to change to make women’s sports safer and better for everyone, plus why trans athlete representation is more important than ever. And to wrap it up, we put them through a few rounds of Bench/Start/Cut and settle this week’s Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue: do you fall asleep with the TV on or off?

The WNBA is officially without its (true) GOAT—Diana Taurasi has retired, and we are simply not okay. Sue looks back on some of her favorite, funniest, and most peak Dee moments over the years. Then, it’s time for the Sue Bird College Basketball Vibe Check of the Week, where chaos reigns. We’re breaking down the latest madness, plus Azzi Fudd’s big decision: go pro or run it back at UConn for a fifth year? We also get some Extra Time with Megan ahead of the NWSL season kickoff—why she’s not sweating the USWNT’s loss to Japan and what she’s watching for this weekend. In The Intersection, Megan breaks down why Paige Bueckers’ GQ spread is the blueprint and why the best athletes always push the boundaries of style. Then, we get into the NWSL’s new kits—the good, the bad, and the ones we already ordered. And we wrap things up with a new Bicker of the Week: when Megan starts using Sue’s favorite movie lines against her… and Sue is not amused.
