Sue Bird Is Launching a New Women’s Basketball Podcast

Former WNBA all-star Sue Bird is hosting a new sports podcast, Birds Eye View.

Releasing May 16, the new women's basketball show "will offer audiences Bird's insider take on women's basketball with elevated analysis of some of the most impressive plays and games of the week," the press release unveiled. The show will also feature "exclusive insight into breaking news from around the league, and real-time check-ins with some of the sport's biggest names."

Bird shared her excitement in the press release: "While working on A Touch More with Megan, I realized I wanted to dive even deeper into one of my biggest passions — women's basketball. I'm so excited to expand my partnership with Vox Media on Bird’s Eye View. This is a space where I will break down the nuances of the upcoming WNBA season, have in-depth conversations about the league, the players and the stories that often go untold."

Birds Eye View is Bird's second podcast following A Touch More with Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe. The sports power couple hosted the series as they shared their inside stories and laughed over new sports headlines. The new series will take a different route, allowing a fresh approach to the WNBA's new takeover.

"I couldn’t be more excited to build on the momentum from A Touch More, says Vox Media's Ray Chao. "As women's basketball skyrockets in popularity, Bird's Eye View will meet the moment with the expert analysis, in-depth coverage and defining conversations that fans are hungry for."

And for those wondering, yes, Bird and Rapinoe are still together.

Tune in to Birds Eye View every Friday.
