Simply the Best

I discovered this pod a little over a year ago at a time when I was just getting heavy into the W. Folks, I cannot stress enough how pleasant it is to listen to James and Chris discuss the Chicago Sky. They’re knowledgeable, reliable, and objective. They also have a great rapport with one another. In a world where it can be hard to find coverage about your favorite WNBA teams, these two and this pod exist as a shining example of how to keep fans engaged and build new fans at the same time.

*Thee* Sky Pod/proud Chicagoan

This podcast is the best one covering the Sky. After trying out a couple others, I finally found *the* Chicago Sky Podcast! No shade tho, bc these guys are supportive of anyone supporting our team- and I love it! I love the fan letters and the pace of the coverage. They are fun and balanced. I loved the Windy City Rollers too, so it’s great to hear a familiar voice covering the Sky!! 💛💙🤍
