Summary

This week, Sue and Megan are joined by the incredible Emmy Award-winning actress Uzo Aduba to discuss her new memoir The Road Is Good, a powerful reflection on Black immigrant identity that explores the power of embracing your heritage, motherhood, and the stories that shape us. Sue and Megan also reflect on Diana Taurasi’s possible retirement, drawing from their own experiences to share insights on how athletes just know when it's time to step away. Plus, it’s playoff time in the WNBA, and there's a lot to talk about—including A'ja Wilson reclaiming her title as MVP for the third (!!) time. And finally, Sue shares details from her recent visit to the White House with Gotham FC and we ask you the age-old question: are you a Megan or a Sue when it comes to rocking a skirt or pants?
