    1. Reevaluating Women's Sports

    The long wait is finally over. Welcome to the "first" episode of the "Silence In The Backcourt" podcast. We really appreciate everyone's patience as our team navigates this new platform. We've hit some bumps trying to make this first episode come to light (as you'll hear in this episode, the audio is a bit weird, we tried our best to mitigate it, but we'll do our best to make it sound better in subsequent episodes), and we'll continue to make mistakes and grow from it, but going forward we're going to be posting consistently every other Tuesday. We hope you guys enjoy and continue with us on this journey. Thank you all for watching, and remember, you're more than enough, always!
