Levels to This with Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby record the day after the midterms with a victory lap and a warning for the winners: don’t squander it. Then they get to the main event, the first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history, where two franchises that had never won a title played for one and the Golden State Valkyries took it in their second season in existence! They credit Gabby Williams, Natalie Nakase and general manager Ohemaa Nyanin, have some call outs for the Dream, and give Atlanta its due for a Finals run that sold out every game. They close with a message for the league: with head coaching jobs open, hire Black women.

On this episode of Levels to This, it's Halloween! Wear what you want to! Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby set basketball aside for a week, with Game 7 on deck, to talk about the double standard women face as they get older, from speculation about when women need to "hang it up" in their career to judgy comments about dressing your age. So put on the costume, wear the thing, and don’t let anybody tell you you’re too old. But take care of yourself too: curate who you're following, what you watch, and what you listen to. Is it building you up?

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby, fresh off sitting courtside for Game 2, break down the WNBA Finals race between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries. The fans are turning out! 17,000-plus fans filling State Farm Arena for Game 3 (not to mention Golden State’s 51 straight sellouts). Some commentators are still expressing surprise that reads as their not watching the games--it shows! They dig into this defensive masterclass, Angel's dominance, and what's coming off the bench. Plus, some MSG shenanigans as the management sends the Knicks staff a fake championship ring email.

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby get ready for a WNBA Finals that will crown a first-time champion, regardless of who takes it home. The Golden State Valkyries take on the Atlanta Dream. How did a second-year expansion team make it all the way to the top? And what happens when the league’s best defense runs into Angel Reese and an Atlanta team that hasn’t lost a game all postseason? Neither host is ready to pick a winner, but Sheryl wants this series to go seven, and Terrika needs it over before Halloween. Before signing off, Sheryl gets personal with a plea to listeners, especially Black men, to stop putting off doctor visits and go get checked.

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby start with their guilty pleasures: Sheryl's 2 a.m. poker session and Terrika's roulette night in Vegas. Then guilty takes on a whole new meaning in the Street Level segment. From there they turn to the WNBA playoffs, from the Lynx's early exit to Dallas's turnaround, before getting into why Indiana's drama is STILL the story even with the Fever eliminated. They dig into Amber Cox's statements and why it turned Kelsey Mitchell's restrained but painful exit interview into a heartbreaking moment. They also run through who's left in the WNBA playoffs—because we're not going to let non-basketball drama take us off of the WNBA beat.
