    Booksketball 28: Goneril & Regan & Cordelia vs. Tara VanDerveer & Dawn Staley & Adia Barnes

    What do King Lear and the NCAA have in common? Madness! Also, a lot of extremely capable and sometimes frightening women. But which terrifying trio would be able to spend an entire day handling Tami's extremely rambunctious dogs: King Lear's daughters, or this year's female Final Four coaches? Join Janelle and Tami as they avoid gouging any eyes out as they wildly search for an answer.

    Booksketball 26: Anna Dostoevskaya vs. Muffet McGraw

    Get out your scarves and stamp collections, friends! It's time to celebrate two ladies who do their best to change the game. And also to decide which one of them would win a jello shot Easter egg hunt. So, listener, will literary wife Anna Dostoevskaya or hero of South Bend Muffet McGraw get their hands on more gelatin? Only Janelle and Tami can decide.

    Booksketball 25: Elle Deluca vs. Elena Delle Donne

    Have you ever read a tween novel? Have you ever tried to say the phrase "tween novel" out loud? Have you ever tried to eat an entire bucket of sour candy? And if you did, would you want to do it with Elle Deluca, thinly veiled fictional version of NBA superstar Elena Delle Donne, or with Elena Delle Donne herself? Join Janelle and Tami as they get hyped up on sugar and figure it out.

    Booksketball 24: Air Bud vs. Diana Taurasi

    WE'RE BACK, SPORTS FANS! And readers. And people who take the time to listen to podcasts that are slightly too long. Would Air Bud, famous basketball dog, or Diana Taurasi, intimidating human woman, be better at returning a crappy lamp to a store? Join Janelle and Tami as they shed some light on this very important subject.

    Booksketball 23: Katniss Everdeen vs. Hilary Knight

    Join Janelle and Tami for the triumphant, patriarchy-crushing Part 3 of this Hunger Games vs. Winter Games trilogy, and finally answer the everlasting question: would Capitol destroyer Katniss Everdeen or Canadian destroyer Hilary Knight be a better partner in a company ping-pong tournament?

    Booksketball 22: Gale Hawthorne vs. Adam Rippon

    Hey, it's part two in a trilogy! That means it's time to get a little dark, a little weird, and have a pretty inconclusive ending. Join Janelle and Tami as they determine... kind of... whether Hunger Games action figure Gale Hawthorne or figure skater Adam Rippon would fare better in a board meeting. Hope you have your PowerPoint slides ready!

    Gosh, it's chilly here in this post-apocalyptic landscape and/or on top of this ski mountain in PyeongChang! Come enjoy this nice fireside chat, in which Janelle and Tami determine which organized sporting (?) event would serve better food in the concession stands. Nom nom nom.
