    Fair Game: Trans Athletes & the Future of Sports |107|

    This week on Women’s Sports Weekly, we tackle one of the most talked-about issues in sports today: trans athletes and the future of fair play. We are joined by Ellie Roscher and Dr. Anna Baeth, authors of the groundbreaking book Fair Game: Trans Athletes and the Future of Sports, for a timely, science-backed conversation you don’t want to miss. From Supreme Court cases and state-level trans sports bans to the real science behind gender, biology, and athletic performance, this episode cuts through the noise. Together, they unpack harmful narratives, explain what inclusive and equitable sports policies can look like, and explore practical pathways to participation that make sports stronger, safer, and fairer for everyone. If you care about women’s sports, LGBTQ+ inclusion, sports policy, or the future of athletics, this episode delivers insight, nuance, and hope.

    USWNT star Lindsey Heaps is officially headed to the Denver Summit, and the Mile High City is buzzing about what her arrival means for the future of women’s soccer in Colorado. College hoops delivered plenty of chaos as NCAA Basketball action saw CU Boulder take down the Iowa State Cyclones. The win extended Iowa State’s losing streak and officially dropped the Cyclones out of the Top 25. The drama continued in the PWHL when the Montreal Victoire faced off against the New York Sirens. The Sirens came out on top, but the game featured controversial calls, rising tensions, and a full-on brawl as the final horn sounded. We break down what is and is not allowed in the PWHL compared to the NHL, including checking rules and fighting. Big headlines, hot takes, and plenty of sports chaos await in this episode.

    Heated Rivalry, NCAA Basketball, & PWHL |104|

    We are coming to the cottage because Heated Rivalry has officially taken over our lives. Yes, this is a women’s sports podcast, but when a romance book becomes a full-blown cultural phenomenon, we have no choice but to talk about Heated Rivalry. From there, we dream up the women’s sports stories we need to see adapted for the big screen (Hollywood, are you listening?). Then it’s back to the action. We break down Kentucky’s statement win over the LSU Tigers, handing LSU their first loss of the season on a buzzer beater. Plus, we hit the ice to recap the Seattle Torrent’s thrilling shootout victory over the Toronto Sceptres because women’s hockey drama always delivers. Romance novels, buzzer-beaters, and shootout chaos? This episode is a must listen. If you rate Women’s Sports Weekly 5 stars, send a screenshot and you will receive a sticker!

    Best of Women’s Sports Weekly 2025 Part 2 |103|

    Happy New Year’s Eve! We’re closing out the year with Part 2 of the Best of Women’s Sports Weekly, a greatest-hits chaos compilation packed with women’s sports, pop culture, and just the right amount of nonsense. From Caitlin Clark’s astrological sign to Matthew McConaughey, this episode is a highlight-reel of everything we do best. We take you inside Unrivaled practice, relive peak March Madness when TCU stunned Notre Dame in the Sweet 16, and tackle big-picture debates like whether women can really have it all. Along the way, things get aggressively New Jersey, unexpectedly educational with fat bears, and delightfully unhinged with press conference reactions to Cathy Engelbert, plus some truly unforgettable bathroom humor. Women’s basketball, women’s sports culture, hot takes, and end-of-year laughs all in one place. You don’t want to miss this one.

    NCAA Volleyball, WNBA CBA, & Trinity Rodman |101|

    Texas A&M shocks Nebraska in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, snapping the Cornhuskers’ undefeated season and ending their title hopes in stunning fashion. A true team effort toppled one of the most dominant volleyball programs in the country. Plus, the latest WNBA CBA proposal raises big questions about pay equity in women’s basketball. Why does fair pay still come with strings attached and more work? With the WNBA season looming, will the league and players actually reach a new collective bargaining agreement in time? And in NWSL news, the Washington Spirit are pulling out all the stops to keep superstar Trinity Rodman stateside. But the league isn’t thrilled with the “spirit” of the deal. Is a new “High Impact Player” designation enough to prevent a move overseas? From college volleyball chaos to pro women’s sports power plays, we break it all down. Tune in!
