Spinsters

Hello! We're re-releasing one of our first narratives this week. It originally aired March 30th, 2021, and focuses on what it feels like to be traded, from a player's perspective. Enjoy! Also check out Katie's substack Basketball Feelings

--

Basketball Writer Katie Heindl joins Haley and Jordan to explore the question we don't ask enough following the trade deadline: What happens behind the scenes of an NBA trade? Katie talks to players to examine the real life implications for those on the move. Emotional rollercoasters, uprooted lives, and deep feelings ensue.

Comedy writer, co-host of the Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast, and day-one spinfluencer Michael Levin joins the show to talk to Jordan about a bunch of different types of processes. They discuss the process for proposing to your significant other, the process for rehabbing from a sprained ankle, and of course, the process of accumulating a bunch of draft capital in consecutive drafts by bottoming out, with the hope of eventually drafting between 1-3 franchise cornerstone players, competing for championships, and drawing Philadelphia basketball out of the post-AI malaise.

Jordan and Haley recorded in person in LAS VEGAS at the insanely cool Bluewire studio in the Wynn. They took this opportunity to do a little holiday mailbag, which turned into Haley pitching an honestly very thought-out idea for a musical, and an impromptu Spinsters holiday gift guide.
