BOUNCE: Female journalists covering the Valkyries

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 looks at the unique challenges and contributions of women covering the game, from courtside to newsroom.

Our guests include:

  • Zena Keita, basketball podcast host at The Athletic and an on-air host for NBC Sports Bay Area. 
  • Sophia Jones. Golden State Valkyries radio color analyst.
  • Janie McCauley, a national sports writer based in the Bay Area who was named AP's Sports Writer of the Year in 2006. 

The moderators are BOUNCE host Erin Lim and BOUNCE Executive Producer Ben Trefny.

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
