The WNBA kicks off its 2023 season on May 19th.
Today, on Where We Live, we’re talking about all things women’s basketball, including what players to watch in 2023.
We’ll also discuss how Brittney Griner’s imprisonment and subsequent release have impacted interest in the game and spurred more activism in the league.
And later, we talk about the pay gap between men's and women’s sports and what can be done to fix it.
Will you be watching the WNBA this year?
