Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

The WBCA goes Pod. From the news release:

The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) launched the first national women’s basketball podcast, “Shootaround with Beth and Debbie,” Wednesday. Co-hosting the 30-minute weekly show is Beth Mowins and Debbie Antonelli, two of the most highly-respected opinions in the game.

Each week, new episodes of “Shootaround with Beth & Debbie” will be available Wednesday at Noon (ET) on wbca.org. This ground-breaking podcast provides in-depth coverage of women’s basketball on a national level in order to create awareness and grow the game of women’s basketball.

Designed much like a sports-talk radio show, “Shootaround with Beth & Debbie” will feature insightful commentary, news, interviews, trivia and much more. Listeners have the options of downloading the show to an mp3 player and simply clicking play to listen directly on wbca.org.

"I am excited to give hard core, passionate basketball fans like me a platform to talk hoops. This show will be informative, fun and edgy. Our goal is to help the game grow in interest and popularity," Antonelli said. "Mowins and I will have fun giving fans a weekly fix on the happenings inside the women's game."

Mowins jokingly adds, "And I look forward to being the consummate point guard by distributing the ball, directing traffic and controlling the microphones so Debbie doesn't talk too much."
Mowins and Antonelli cover over 100 women’s basketball games each year in various leagues across the nation. Your story ideas, questions and comments are welcome at shootaround@wbca.org.
