On the latest Women’s Hoops And Talks (WHAT) Podcast, Tara Bowen-Biggs (Team Mom) and Cassidy Gemmet are joined by Anne Peterson of the Associated Press to talk about how things have changed in the media over the years. 

It has been an exciting start to the NBA season, with plenty to talk about in just under a month of regular season play. First we talk about what has surprised us like punches thrown, early season trades and Warriors intrigue. Of course we have praise for the surprising Trail Blazers bench who are in mid-season form. 

Then we talk about how overwhelming the media has become, with so many big personalities, so many choices and so many platforms for fans to follow. We share some of our favorite media resources for following the NBA. 

Finally we talk to our favorite media resource, Anne Peterson. Anne tells us how things have changed since she was a young reporter. What is easier? What is more challenging? Finally, she gives us the inside scoop about what it was like on press row the first time LeBron James came to town in a Lakers uniform.
