A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I really love getting to go deeper on teams and players, and getting more context. Lots of great insight! I appreciated the recent interview with Atlanta’s Paopao and am excited to learn more about the Fever with Fever Fridays.
My one reservation is that I find Emily Adler to be unnecessarily derogatory towards the players. I was compelled to stop listening to the recent episode about the rookie class of 2025 after Ms. Adler said that Dallas is “a team who’s supporting cast besides her [Paige] is objectively just terrible. Almost everyone in the starting line up is not starting caliber.” Granted Hunter Cruse co-signed that.
I’m not even a Dallas fan and I was turned off completely.
I’m a fan of this sport. These players work incredibly hard, are extraordinary talented. They deserve a baseline level of respect.

The audio quality of this pod is sometimes fine, and sometimes so bad. The most recent episode about WNBA rookies was so hard to listen to. In the middle of the podcast(7:40ish minutes in) they’re talking about whatever their watching. What?! This is a podcast, can you be focused on what you’re doing. They’re talking over each other, this episode was all over the place. You can hear sirens in the background🤦🏻♀️. This particular episode seemed like the main host was unprepared, and the episode as a whole had no flow. Really disappointing cause I’ve listened to multiple episodes and other hosts seem vastly more prepared and pardon the pun but they seem locked on to whatever they’re talking about. The only reason this is getting a three and not something lower is because I’ve listened to other episodes and the topics were interesting and the conversation had a natural flow, and everyone felt engaged and focused. When the people on the pod started commenting in whatever they were watching I was like ok, I need to review cause that was so bad, at least edit it out.

As someone getting into betting women’s college basketball, this pod is essential. They are informative and entertaining, a winning combo. I only wish Locked On had a daily WCB pod, as I don’t follow WNBA (I’d love to, this years 2 power teams scared off bettors. Need parity). Keep up the good work! WCB is great.

The content and topics are great but unfortunately the sound quality is so bad that it really takes away from the pleasure of listening to them to the point where you have to stop at times. Also reading 2 commercials in a podcast of 20min is not helpful.
If efforts were equally put into the sound as much as they already put into the interviews and their drive in highlighting women sports to the forefront then it would be a 5 star podcast

I was excited about this podcast but the more I listen, it doesn’t feel like emily respects her cohosts opinions enough to have true dialogue. The interruptions are distracting and I don’t feel like it provides good analysis. I also think trying to get listens by pushing nonsense about Paige and Dallas was clickbait at best. There is potential here, but some changes are needed.

Please please please improve your audio on this podcast. Using your computer microphone instead of an actual microphone for a podcast is not acceptable. Also, bring audio based content, think about how you are speaking. All the fast talking and mumbling makes for a really poor listening experience. I want to listen to the full episode but I almost give up part way through because I can’t understand and follow the discussion.
