Host Howard Megdal has everything you need to know about Team Clark and Team Collier for the 2025 WNBA All Star Game. But first: an extended look at why and how the starters fit together, how and why each backup makes sense on each team, with a healthy dose of context. Every extreme statement about who was left off the team and more critically, the leap to assuming bad faith intentions around it shares no shred of commonality with the reality of how this all works.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by Steve Jones Jr. of The Dunker Spot Podcast to predict who will be named a 2025 WNBA All-Star reserve when the results are announced this Sunday at noon et. A disclaimer: these 12 players are selected by all of the WNBA’s head coaches. Jackie and Steve discuss their locks including Skylar Diggins, Kelsey Mitchell, Kelsey Plum, Angel Reese and more. Later the pair runs through the players who have cases but certain factors like injuries and team performance might get in the way of their candidacy. For instance willl Jonquel Jones get snubbed especially after how much the Liberty have felt her absence? Will Rhyne Howard be healthy enough if she’s selected?

It turns out that in the post-Caitlin Clark era, even with Lisa Bluder retiring, Iowa is stronger than ever. Having the leadership of Jan Jensen will do that — and she joins host Howard Megdal to discuss her 23-win, inaugural campaign as head coach after decades as Lisa's trusted lieutenant. The two talk about everything from Lucy Olsen's ascendance to Addie Deal, the next big Iowa guard you're going to hear a ton about — and what it says about the Hawkeyes that she's from California, not Cedar Rapids.

Host Jackie Powell explores the latest hot topic in WNBA circles and that’s officiating. First she explains the reasons for the latest complaints in officiating after there was a shuffle that broke out between Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever and Jacy Sheldon’s Connecticut Sun earlier this week. Also, Powell shares how Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello feels on the subject. Later she is joined by Lucas Kaplan, a New York based basketball reporter who covers both the Liberty in the WNBA and the Nets in the NBA at NetDaily. The two examine how there are different types of narratives that surround WNBA players and officiating compared to their counterparts in the NBA. And lastly, Powell shares how Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts feels about officiating while entertaining a conversation as to why WNBA infrastructure for officiating is still lacking. Although, some change might be on the way.
