  • Our Message to Juju Watkins & Sweet 16 Predictions
    Mar 27 2025
    We’re halfway through March Madness -- time to take a close look at the teams and players in the Sweet 16. And we discuss a path forward for USC after Juju Watkins's season-ending ACL injury -- sending our heartfelt best wishes to Juju! We’re going to miss her in the tourney, but know she’ll be back. Checking in on our bracket, we share some tough lessons we’ve learned the hard way and the matchups we’re looking forward to. Plus, we drop a little behind-the-scenes look of Megan “locked-in” at game time. And we’re introducing a new segment: Make it Make Sense, where we’ll call out things that just don’t add up. Like: when fans chant “overrated" at an opposing team, are they committing a self-own? This leads Megan and Sue to recollect their all-time best heckle moments. And the verdict is in on last week’s Bicker of the Week aka the sunscreen fiasco, but Megan and Sue settle things their own way. Tune in for a special announcement on an upcoming live show with a very special guest! Get your tix here.

  • March Madness is Here and it’s…a Level Ten Gyat?
    Mar 20 2025
    March Madness, NWSL Kickoff, AND Unrivaled’s first-ever championship? We’re feeling like kids in a candy shop this week. First up: the madness is real. We break down the final standings, what we’ll miss the most, and why this might be the hardest bracket to crack yet. Think you can out-predict us? Join our bracket challenge. Then, The Rose are officially Unrivaled’s first champions, and Chelsea Gray put on a performance for the ages. We talk about what this means for the league and why Unrivaled’s success is just the beginning. Over in the NWSL, Trinity Rodman is dropping hints about heading overseas. Should Spirit fans be worried? We discuss. In this week’s Intersection, ESPN’s list of top women’s college basketball players of all time has us debating what really makes a GOAT. Stats? Titles? Vibes? Finally, this week’s Bicker of the Week: a sunscreen application gone terribly, terribly wrong. A Touch More: The Podcast is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.

  • Nikki Hiltz & Gabby Thomas on Track, Paychecks & Representation: LIVE from SXSW
    Mar 13 2025
    This week, we’re coming to you straight from SXSW in Austin, where we sat down with two of the fastest people on the planet—Olympic track stars Nikki Hiltz and Gabby Thomas. But first, we’ll check in on where women’s sports stand today and what needs to happen to keep the momentum going for the next 100 years. We’re talking investment, Gen Alpha’s sports habits, and why women’s sports constantly have to break records just to prove their worth. Then, Nikki and Gabby get real about life as pro track athletes—how they actually make money, the highs and lows of competing in an individual sport, and, of course, who’s faster? They also weigh in on what needs to change to make women’s sports safer and better for everyone, plus why trans athlete representation is more important than ever. And to wrap it up, we put them through a few rounds of Bench/Start/Cut and settle this week’s Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue: do you fall asleep with the TV on or off?
