Her Game Her Voice
Her Game Her Voice is the podcast where women’s basketball meets bold conversations about gender parity, the unique challenges female athletes face, and the moments—both on and off the court—that shape the game.
From buzzer-beating triumphs to air balls that leave us shaking our heads (like Pitbull at the WNBA All-Star halftime show—really?!), Kaari breaks it all down with insight, humor, and a passion for the game.
She’ll share what she’s learning from Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Tara VanDerveer, cover stories from the Golden State Valkyries, Stanford Women’s Basketball, and the WNBA, and bring in special guests—players, coaches, and insiders—to give their perspectives.
Whether you’re a diehard fan, a casual observer, or someone who just discovered the WNBA through Taylor Swift’s friendship with Caitlin Clark, Her Game. Her Voice. has something for you.
Join the conversation and find Her Game. Her Voice. wherever you get your podcasts.

Court Time, World Champs and Red Heads
In this episode of Her Game. Her Voice., we dive into the stories of two groundbreaking women’s basketball teams.
First, the Fort Shaw Indian Boarding School team—Indigenous girls who dominated the court in the early 1900s, becoming world champions at the 1904 World’s Fair. But their success came with a dark reality, as their victories were used to promote assimilation policies. It’s a story that will make you cheer—and cringe.
Then, meet the All American Red Heads, the first professional women’s basketball team, who took on men’s teams by men’s rules while sporting matching red hair (thanks to Clairol Flame 33). Part Harlem Globetrotters, part unstoppable force, they paved the way for women’s pro ball.
Plus, this week’s Buzzer Beater, Airball Award, and Flagrant Foul—including the NCAA’s new pay structure for women’s March Madness and a Big 12 tournament court so ugly it should’ve been ejected.
