A weekly show centered on women and gender-expansive skateboarding, highlighting past, present, and future stories that rarely get the mic. Part cultural record, part real-time news brief, and part holding space for harder-to-hear truths where context and nuance can live.

Maddy Brown, better known as WNBA Data, joins us to talk WNBA playoffs, making statistics interesting, what the numbers can (and can’t) tell us about sports, and the growing role of data in women’s sports.

Then we bring it back to skateboarding: an industry that has historically relied less on data and more on “seems right,” and look at the value women and gender-expansive skaters may be creating that the industry isn’t measuring. What data are we missing, what questions should we be asking, and what could the numbers tell us about the bigger story of skateboarding?
