One last March Madness episode! Nina joins us again for the final episode of our series, breaking down the men’s and women’s Final Four, championship games, and the biggest moments from the tournament.

We get into everything from both the men’s and women’s tournaments, including the standout moments, biggest takeaways, and what everyone is still talking about. Nina also chats about her weekend in Indy, and her experience being at the Men's Championship game.

We also dive into “handshake gate” between Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley, what UCLA’s culture says about team building and player retention, and take an early look ahead to the WNBA Draft. To close it out, we’re sharing some of our favorite moments from this year’s March Madness and reflecting on what made this tournament so memorable.

March Madness is hitting its peak and we’re breaking down everything you need to know before the Final Four.

In this episode, we recap the biggest moments from the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, react to the Final Four being set, and get into the real conversations - like what it’s actually like being a Duke fan right now, why so many people can’t stand Duke, and whether UConn is officially a basketball dynasty.

Plus i'm not ready for it to be over!!!

Nina is back for episode 2 of our March Madness series!

We check in on how our brackets are holding up and break down everything from the first and second rounds — including the biggest surprises, standout teams, and early exits. We also get into one of the hottest debates in college basketball right now: is NIL impacting upsets and the future of Cinderella stories?

Then, we turn our attention to the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, sharing our predictions, hopes, and who we think is making a serious run to the Final Four.

Let us know who you’ve got going all the way!

I am a March Madness newbie … so I brought in Nina to teach me everything. Whether you’re a total beginner or someone who lives for March Madness, this episode is for you.

We get into how March Madness actually works, bracket tips & strategy, what makes it so chaotic (and addictive), why Nina loves it—and why I might be converted.

This is episode one of our March Madness series, so we’ll be back all tournament long with updates, reactions, and probably some questionable bracket decisions.

If you’ve ever felt confused by March Madness—or just want to hear us break it all down—you’re in the right place.

Happy International Women’s Day and happy 2nd birthday to the Name One Player podcast!

Two years ago today, on International Women’s Day, I released the very first episode of the Name One Player podcast. What started as an idea to highlight women in sports has grown into a platform for conversations with incredible athletes, journalists, creators, and leaders across the sports world.

In this special anniversary episode, I reflect on the past two years of the podcast, how the show has evolved since that first episode, and what I’ve learned from building a women’s sports podcast from the ground up. I also take time to thank every single person who has been part of the journey - the guests who shared their stories, the listeners who support the show, and everyone who has helped Name One Player grow.

International Women’s Day is a powerful reminder of the impact women have across every industry, including sports media and athletics. This podcast exists because of the incredible women who continue to push sports forward, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share their voices and stories.

Thank you for being part of the Name One Player community over the past two years. I’m excited to continue growing the podcast, highlighting more women in sports, and seeing where the next chapter takes us.

Rebecca, a Social Worker and Mental Health Therapist joins me today to tackle a conversation about the reality of being women who love sports leagues that are often misogynistic in nature. Rebecca shares some amazing tips to help regulate when things may feel disheartening in the world of sports, especially Hockey. We explore the grey area - how to stay aligned with our values without abandoning the things that genuinely bring us joy.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their Super Bowl win! This week I have Allie Anthony joining me to chat all about the game - we dive into the Seahawks insanely good defense, their truly special special teams and Drake Maye's unfortunate performance.

Allie also shares a little about her background and what inspired her to start creating football content on social media. Lastly, we get into a super important conversation surrounding the standards that athletes are held to and what changes need to be made to make the women who love the NFL feel supported.
