Show Notes
Women have been playing basketball since the game was invented, but the most fervent fandom has always been reserved for the men's game — until now. We explore why it took so long for us to pay attention to women's basketball, and what that means for the future of the sport.
Featuring:
- Kate Fagan, journalist and author of Hoop Muses: An Insider's Guide to Pop Culture and the (Women's) Game
- Kayla Jones, Graduate Assistant Coach for NC State women's basketball
- Stephanie Menio, Assistant Athletic Director and Sports Supervisor for women's basketball at NC State
