Happy First Tuesday in May!

Today’s episode of The GIST of It is downright hoop-tastic, as co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz go all in on the WNBA. First, the gals dive into the preseason problems plaguing the league, specifically broadcasting issues that resulted in a fan live streaming a preseason Chicago Sky vs. Minnesota Lynx game for 2M (!!!) viewers. Thankfully, the W is already making adjustments with their biggest season ever scheduled to tip off in exactly one week.

Then get ready for a sweet treat in part two, as El sits down with WNBA rookie Cameron Brink to discuss her partnership with New Balance as well as her transition from a dominant collegiate career at Stanford to the new kid on the block with the LA Sparks.
