Summary

ATM is live from Seattle to celebrate Sue becoming the first-ever WNBA player honored with a statue, and we couldn’t be prouder. To mark the occasion, we’re joined by past and present Seattle Storm stars Gabby Williams and Lauren Jackson. Gabby tells us what it’s like to be a rising star in the league, the secret to her phenomenal defensive game, her favorite Seattle spots, and what she hopes to see from CBA negotiations. Plus, we play a special tattoo edition of Bench/Start/Cut. Lauren reveals the real story behind being the WNBA’s #1 pick in 2001. She gets honest and heartwarming over her infamous rivalry with Lisa Leslie, and her favorite memories of playing in Seattle. Plus, Megan shares a very personalized gift that she hand-crafted for Sue. Hint: it goes great on popcorn. A Touch More: The Podcast is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.
