A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
This show has been easily one of my most listened to shows in 2026. I probably started around the beginning of the year and it instantly became one of my go to, daily shows.
Everything about it is great, from just getting updated on what happened and scores from the day before, the interviews (Sarah is great at), and the in depth analysis of different leagues, or different issues of the day. Definitely the best podcast dedicated to women’s sports but also just a well produced show in general that gives you everything you’d expect and want from a podcast in an easily consumable (usually under an hour) format.
I can’t say enough good things about the show and Big Citrus, but safe to say for me it’s become a staple in my podcast diet!

good game is and has everything! daily sports updates, thought provoking interviews, fun conversations, and, most importantly, reality checks. i know ppl prefer sports to be a reprieve from real life, but women’s sports is political whether we like it or not and sarah knows that too. she does a great job of balancing the fun with the real which is why she’s mandatory listening for me.

I love that this podcast gives me a quick daily update of all things women’s sports. So helpful to stay current on top news and storylines across all women’s leagues. Good Game, Sarah!

I’m sad it took me so long to find this podcast! This is exactly the women’s sports podcast I was looking for. Sarah Spain covers all women’s sports leagues and events with deep knowledge and context. I’ve been so impressed with the ways she doesn’t shy away from directly addressing racism, sexism, and homophobia while also going deep into the skills, fundamentals, and business of all the sports being covered. Such a great source of comprehensive and nuanced information about the wide world of women’s sports, I’m obsessed.

It’s disappointing that you use your platform in such a harmful way. It’s upsetting that instead of congratulating an amazing draftee on the biggest night of her life, you decide to start spewing fanfiction about her and her private relationship with her partner. These women are professionals and above all else, I know they are focused on basketball and basketball alone what they do privately is their business and you should be ashamed of yourself for saying what you did about those women. They are human beings who don’t deserve to be spoken about in that way. And they deserve just as much privacy as the next person and they shouldn’t be worried that people close to them, who work in this field, speaking about them in such a negative light. I truly hope that anybody you’ve ever spoken about in that way gets an apology. If you wanna run a rumor mill fine, if spreading false information and nasty rumors is your only way to get clicks and listens fine be the next TMZ, Maybe you need to take at hard look at your life and your professional choices because that is a terrible way to promote these women athletes and you should never be able to call yourself an advocate for them. Yourselves and your entire team should truly be ashamed.

You missed a great opportunity to celebrate Azzi Fudd’s special night and her achievement as the number one draft pick. Instead of focusing on that, you chose to dive into drama and rumors about a breakup, which felt unnecessary and took away from the positive moment.
