For the first-ever Podhalla Classic episode on our new feed, we're going back to May 2025, when Brian Gonzales sat down one-on-one with Juste Jocyte — the Golden State Valkyries' first-ever draft pick — for what was, as far as we knew, her first podcast interview with any local or U.S. outlet. Juste opens up about her background and her basketball career up to that point, why she thought Golden State would be the team to draft her, and why she chose to stay overseas for her first year instead of joining the Valkyries right away. She also lays out the plan for finally joining the team in 2026.

This was Podhalla's most popular episode ever on the old BSPN feed, so we wanted it to be one of the first things you hear on our new dedicated feed — a piece of Valkyries history and one of the earliest chances fans had to hear directly from Juste in her own words.

Golden State Valkyries radio broadcaster Kevin Danna joins Garrett Gonzales, Brian Gonzales, and Conrado Pascual to talk through the team's current season. They break down the Valkyries' last two wins — over the Dallas Wings and Sunday night's statement road win in Los Angeles — and what those results say about where this team is headed. The crew and Kevin also dig into the Valkyries' championship aspirations in year two, how the locker room and coaching staff talk about that goal, and what it would take to get there. Kevin closes it out talking broadcasting life: the craft of play-by-play, prepping for a game night, and what it's like building a broadcast identity around a franchise still finding its footing.

Brian Gonzales is away this weekend, so Garrett Gonzales sits down one-on-one with Podhalla's new third co-host, Conrado Pascual, to give listeners a real introduction to who he is. Garrett digs into Conrado's basketball mind — how he sees and thinks about the game — why he fell in love with basketball in the first place, and the players, voices, and influences that shaped his perspective. They also talk about where Conrado eventually wants to go in the basketball world down the line, and the story of how he got into covering the Golden State Valkyries.

Note: this episode was recorded before the passing of Don Nelson was announced by his family. Don's name comes up in conversation, and we wanted listeners to have that context going in.

San Francisco Chronicle Valkyries insider Harrison Rich joins Garrett Gonzales, Brian Gonzales, and Conrado Pascual to break down the Valkyries' decision to stand pat at the trade deadline and pass on a Kelsey Plum deal. Harrison also discusses his reporting on Juste Jocytė and what it's like for a young player to see her own name swirling in trade rumors.

The crew covers Gabby Williams' reconditioning timeline, the Valkyries' gutsy 2-0 stretch against the Tempo despite trailing in both games, Kaitlyn Chen's recent struggles, and what adjustments Natalie Nakase has in her back pocket if Golden State's offense goes cold.

Note: this episode originally aired on the BSPN feed and is being replayed here on Podhalla in case you missed it the first time.
