Description: On this episode, we dive into the Sky’s struggle era, the Fever’s coach filing emotional complaints with the refs, and the Liberty and Lynx looking like they’re headed back to the Finals. Meanwhile, the Mystics are quietly plotting—and Arike and Jewell? Let’s just say... it might be time for a performance review.

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Club Hoops — a women’s basketball podcast hosted by Natalie Franklin and her dad Greg. Two lifelong hoop fans with a lot to say and absolutely no interest in playing it safe.

In our first episode, we break down opening week across the W: Aces vs. Liberty, Caitlin vs. Angel, the Valkyries’ big debut, and more.

Real talk, real hoops, and a little family flavor.

Welcome To Club Hoops!

On this episode, we dive into the Sky’s struggle era, the Fever’s coach filing emotional complaints with the refs, and the Liberty and Lynx looking like they’re headed back to the Finals. Meanwhile, the Mystics are quietly plotting—and Arike and Jewell? Let’s just say... it might be time for a performance review.

Pure Hoops

In this episode, we unpack the Sky, Wings, and the Sun, finally getting in the wins column, the Fever being plagued by injuries and coaching, and the Liberty and Lynx looking like they'll be a Finals rematch. Also: Paige Bueckers is out with a concussion, the Commissioner’s Cup is throwing crypto around again, and yes—we’re yelling about the overlapping game times (Cathy, why?!?!?).

Fever Dream

The Liberty dropped 48 on the Sun. The Aces got cooked by the Valkyries. And Courtney Vandersloot tore her ACL. On top of that, we’re asking what’s going on with Rickea and the Sparks, and there’s more Seattle Storm drama, if you can believe it.

Things got spicy between Natalie and Greg during the first half of the episode... that’s always fun.

Yeah… It’s been an interesting week in the W.
