This week we're starting with a conversation that's bigger than basketball.The WNBA continues to grow at an incredible pace, but growth also comes with responsibility. I share why I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the league's leadership, Cathy Engelbert's role, and how inconsistent responses to major incidents are creating space for assumptions and distracting from the game itself. We also discuss the racial dynamics surrounding some of the biggest conversations in the league and why those discussions deserve to be handled with more care.From there, we get into everything that happened on the court. We talk about why the Valkyries continue to impress, whether the Tempo have officially won me over, the evolution of the Sparks under Lynne Roberts, the Liberty and Lynx matchup, Atlanta's frustrating inconsistency, where the Mercury go from here, and whether Olivia Miles has entered the MVP conversation. I also share my thoughts on standout performances by players like Frieda Bühner, Nia Coffey, Jessica Shepard, Justine Pissott, and more, while breaking down the biggest games and trends across the league.As always, this is a basketball-first conversation focused on habits, team building, decision-making, and the bigger picture of where the WNBA is headed.-Follow me on social media:https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5-Chapters:00:00 Intro00:17 Housekeeping | The best excuse ever03:54 The racial element of the big conversations happening surrounding the W09:26 Is the WNBA headed in the right direction? | The Cathy Problem 18:10 Player of the Week: Ola Kosu20:07 Who Won the Week: Valkyries22:22 The Basketball23:14 Valkyries vs Sun 27:11 UCLA Player Ranking 28:20 Wings vs Tempo | The Tempo are moving me30:16 Arike — A Wing for Life?32:15 Game Stats continued33:57 Sky vs Sparks 36:31 Lynne Roberts & The Sparks Evolution43:49 Liberty vs Lynx 44:22 Liberty Bigs ….

In this episode, I sit down with author, researcher, and consulting hypnotist Angel Millar to explore his fascinating book, The Supernatural Woman and the Male Initiate: Bonded Through Dreams.Together, we journey into the mysterious feminine beings who have appeared throughout mythology, dreams, literature, and esoteric traditions - not simply as muses or lovers, but as protectors, teachers, initiators, and powerful forces capable of transforming a man's character and consciousness.From the Norse fylgja, Valkyries, Morgan le Fay, The Wife of Bath, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, to guardian angels, shamanic dream wives, succubi, fairy beings, Freemasonry, sex magic, and the lost purpose of initiation, we explore some of the strangest and most overlooked corners of the Western mystery tradition.We also discuss whether these supernatural beings are archetypes, independent consciousnesses, or multidimensional intelligences; why true initiation must create a permanent transformation of consciousness; how Christianity changed the Western relationship with the physical body; and why caution and discernment are essential when working with occult forces.Later, we dive into the ancient meaning of the daemon, the true nature of genius, creativity received through dreams, altered states of consciousness, self-hypnosis, hypnagogic visions, and the unseen source of inspiration that sometimes seems to move through artists, musicians, writers, and mystics.An incredible episode... Drop in!www.angelmillar.comAngel Millar Bio:Angel Millar is the author of The Three Stages of Initiatic Spirituality, The Path of the Warrior-Mystic, and Transcend the Chaos, among other books. He began studying magic and trance (or “Gnosis”) in his veryearly manhood, and was briefly involved with neopaganism in Kent, England, before being initiated into the Illuminates of Thanateros, in London, in 1990. In 2001, after moving to New York City, he was initiated into Freemasonry. he was later made a Fellow of the Philalethes Society for Masonic research (which limits the number of Fellows to forty, globally) and became the editor-in-chief for the Masonic magazine Fraternal Review. He is also a National Guild of Hypnotists-certified consulting hypnotist. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What does it feel like to collect a team with no history?This week, Katelyn is joined by Mark (@ramjamsportscards / @valkyriescardvault), a collector who has built his collection around the Golden State Valkyries from day one.They discuss what makes expansion team collecting different, why patience leads to a better collection, how emotional connections form without nostalgia, and why documenting the beginning of a franchise feels like creating a scrapbook in real time.If you've ever thought about collecting a team instead of chasing the biggest names, this conversation will change how you think about building your collection.Check out Card Ladder the official data partner of The WNBA Card PodcastFollow the WNBA Card Podcast on Instagram Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast Patreon[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | TiktokFollow Katelyn: | Instagram ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Coming off consecutive losses on their West Coast road trip, the New York Liberty head into the Commissioner's Cup Final searching for answers after a frustrating 76-67 defeat to the Golden State Valkyries. François discusses: - How Golden State's defense completely disrupted the Liberty's offensive rhythm - The pivotal 11-0 run before halftime that changed the game - Why New York's offense fell into hesitation and hero basketball - Defensive breakdowns, over-helping, and losing the battle in the paint despite a size advantage - What Chris DeMarco, Breanna Stewart, and Sabrina Ionescu had to say after another disappointing performance - Whether these struggles are simply growing pains—or signs of deeper issues the Liberty must solve quickly The talent is still there. The championship expectations haven't changed. But with the Commissioner's Cup Final against the Las Vegas Aces just around the corner, the Liberty have little time to turn potential into consistency.
This week, we're breaking down another crazy week in the WNBA. We have to talk about Marina Mabrey's historic 53-point performance, the Mystics continuing to impress, the Liberty looking a little confusing, and why I'm getting more concerned about teams like the Sparks and the Fire.I also share my thoughts on the discourse surrounding "The Play," because there's a difference between holding players accountable and turning every conversation into a witch hunt. As always, I'm giving my honest reactions to the biggest games, coaching decisions, standout performances, and the storylines that stood out to me this week.-Follow me on social media:https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5Links:https://www.instagram.com/p/DaAwezxzoeR/?igsh=MW1tMHJ1dnR1a2p3aQ==https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8G8QxmR/www.portlandmercury.com/the-portland-fire/the-portland-fire-wants-to-annoy-the-rest-of-the-wnba/-Chapters:00:00 Intro00:17 Housekeeping | Thank you for 1K subscribers 04:37 Tori's Player of the Week | Marina Mabrey06:13 Who Won the Week | Mystics 07:42 Notable League Moves & Injuries | McCown & Kelsey Plum10:40 Discourse of the Week | The Play15:38 Tempo vs Sun | Olivia Nelson Ododa MIP Case?18:56 Mystics vs Liberty | A Vet PG?
