This week, we are giving a second listen to our very special episode with Renee Montgomery. Montgomery is the vice president and part owner of the WNBA team the Atlanta Dream. Before owning the team, Montgomery was a WNBA player on teams including the Dream, Minnesota Lynx, and Connecticut Sun. Before that, she played division one college basketball at the University of Connecticut. After 11 years as a professional WNBA player, Montgomery opted out of the 2020 season to focus on social justice and activism before retiring from the WNBA in 2021. Shortly after retiring, Montgomery became the first former WNBA player to be an owner and vice president of a team. Today, Montgomery continues to serve as part owner and vice president of the Atlanta Dream and runs her own clothing brand, C Suite 21, and the media production company Think Tank Productions.

The WNBA officially kicks off this weekend, with its first regular-season game between the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun. And the Sun will be appearing on the court with a brand new weapon: Brittney Griner, a 10-time WNBA all-star and three-time Olympic gold medalist.You might consider it a miracle that we get to watch Griner play at all. That's because, in 2022, she found herself behind bars in a Russian prison. She wasn't sure when, or if, she would make it home to her family — or to basketball — again. In this episode, Brittney Griner tells her story: from joining the WNBA as a first-round draft pick, to being locked away in a Russian penal colony, to finally coming home.Show Notes Coming Home by Brittney Griner and Michelle Burford Why Brittney Griner was in Russia and what it has to do with U.S. women's basketball | NPR Photos: Brittney Griner freed from Russian penal colony in high-level prisoner swap | LA Times Basketball's Gender Pay Gap is Worse Than You Think | Vice Show CreditsHost: David GreeneExecutive Producers: Joan Isabella, Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaTalent Booker: Britt KahnEngineer: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingTheme Song: Emma MungerSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.
