    The WNBA Has A Fan Problem And We All Know It

    It’s Episode 100—and after three shows without a game, Trysta and Sarah have plenty to catch up on.

They also discuss the backlash around Candace Parker’s comments on Angel Reese, debate the All-Rookie Team, and get into the Atlanta Dream’s Finals home at State Farm Arena. Then, for the 100th episode, Trysta and Sarah put each other’s lore to the test—and share the stories behind how they got here. 🏀 The Atlanta Dream’s Finals venue shuffle🎙️ Elle Duncan on the WNBA culture war💬 Candace Parker, Angel Reese, and online backlash⭐ The WNBA All-Rookie Team and a loaded rookie class👀 DiJonai Carrington and Jackie Young’s very public exchange🎂 Trysta and Sarah tell each other’s lore for Episode 100   What’s your take on the WNBA conversation right now?
