  • What's Going On, In This World Of Sports with Jemele Hill
    2025/04/14

    When Jemele Hill and Cari Champion get together, it always makes for a great conversation and a worthy episode!

    We kick things off with the state of women’s basketball: where it’s thriving, where it needs support, and why players like Paige Beckers and Caitlin Clark are changing the game, even as they battle injuries and media hype. Because let’s be honest, rivalries make the story, but so does real representation.

    Then we zoom out: NBA coaching shakeups, headline-grabbing trades, and, of course, the drama between Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James. We talk about what it all really means and how it reflects on the game and the culture.

    Then, Jemele and Cari get into the ethics of sports journalism. The pressure to be first vs. the responsibility to get it right. Discretion, fan culture, and how the media landscape is shifting under our feet. This episode is a whole masterclass on how sports and storytelling keep evolving…whether the world is ready or not.

  • Show Up and Stand Up
    2025/04/07

    In this episode, Cari shines a light on Senator Cory Booker’s powerful, history-making speech, not just for what he said but also for what it means in the bigger fight for civil rights and justice. It’s a reminder that the work isn’t done.

    And with the Women’s Final Four on the horizon, of course, Cari had to talk about where women’s basketball is right now: the growth, the challenges, and the energy that’s building. These athletes are doing more than showing up — they’re showing out.

    This one’s about purpose. About standing up, speaking out, and showing love to the people — especially the women who’ve been putting in the work.

  • Stephen A vs. LeBron plus Dodgers head to the White House
    2025/03/31

    This episode has a little bit of everything: some laughs, some heat, and another example of how sports intersects with culture and politics.. Cari is tapping into everything — from what’s really going down in women’s basketball right now. The game is changing, and so is the conversation, and then we go straight into dating standards: the back-and-forth between what men think women want and what women are actually asking for.

    That’s not all; we also break down the drama between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith — because yes, grown men do feud publicly, and it says a lot about the current media game.

    And finally, Cari shares her take on the Dodgers heading to the White House — why it matters, what it means, and how sports continue to play a role in shaping our political story.
