There's a girl in a gym in Shreveport right now who's better than you think she is. There are hundreds of her, thousands of her — spread across high school gyms and AAU circuits and small-town tournaments nobody's covering. This is the show that's going to find them.
In this first episode of Time Out, Ashley J. Antoine introduces the podcast, the beat, and the perspective she's bringing to women's basketball coverage — as a former Division I player, a twenty-year educator, an independent journalist, and the current sports parent of an elite EYBL hooper. She covers:
→ Who Time Out is for and what to expect every week → Why the modern women's game deserves better coverage than it's getting → What's coming in the first few episodes → How to get involved in the Black Sports Parents League
If you're a sports parent in the trenches, a player trying to build a brand and a future at the same time, or a fan who's tired of surface-level coverage of the women's game — this is your room. Press play.
