A must listen. Erin continues to be the voice of the fan in this format. You can’t say you love WBB without this pod in your feed.

Erin’s knowledge of sports, & focus on women’s sports, provides interesting commentary & perspective. I relish each episode- to obtain coverage & insights on games, and learn deeper stories & experiences from those who have played & coached. Her humor, and fan perpective, adds the perfect touch to make each episode feel like you’re hanging out with your pal while listening to a game or an interview.
Always infectious! A

I’ve been a huge fan of Erin’s for years, her passion for sports and people is infectious. The deep dive interviews she features, regardless of the sport, are incredibly thoughtful. You get the very real sense that her subjects have never received questions like Erin’s before, because she isn’t interested in surface level small chat. Her curiosity and knowledge are unparalleled. Her breakdowns of events leave me feeling armed with what I need to know to go into any sports bar or backyard bbq and impress, which I understand isn’t the goal of the podcast but it’s a nice perk. Couldn’t recommend Herlights more highly! A
