Her Game Her Voice™
Her Game Her Voice™ is the podcast where women’s basketball meets bold conversations about gender parity, the unique challenges female athletes face, and the moments—both on and off the court—that shape the game.
From buzzer-beating triumphs to air balls that leave us shaking our heads (like Pitbull at the WNBA All-Star halftime show—really?!), Kaari breaks it all down with insight, humor, and a passion for the game.
She’ll share what she’s learned from Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Tara VanDerveer, cover stories from the Golden State Valkyries, Stanford Women’s Basketball, and the WNBA, and bring in special guests—players, coaches, and insiders—to give their perspectives.
Whether you’re a diehard fan, a casual observer, or someone who just discovered the WNBA through Taylor Swift’s friendship with Caitlin Clark, Her Game Her Voice has something for you.
Join the conversation and find Her Game Her Voice wherever you get your podcasts.
