This week, we are proud to share conversations as part of Season 2 of KALW’s BOUNCE, chronicling the first season of the WNBA’s Golden State Valkyries in the Bay. It was recorded live at KALW’s community events space in downtown San Francisco.
Today’s show reunites team members of the San Francisco Pioneers from the Women’s Professional Basketball League from 1979 to 1981:
- Anita “Thoroughbred” Ortega
- Anna “AJ” Johnson
- Gerry “Book” Booker
- Jan Ternyik
They were joined in conversation by Maya Goldberg-Safir who writes about women’s hoops in the substack Rough Notes.
Join KALW for the next BOUNCE Podcast Community Party for a conversation and gathering exploring women’s sports, culture, and movement-building in the Bay Area and beyond. That’s on Wednesday, September 17th at 7pm at KALW’s events space at 220 Montgomery Street in downtown San Francisco. More info
