First, "The Filibuster" finds Jemele explaining the inextricable links between women in politics and women in sports, with help from Errin Haines, the editor-at-large for the 19th, a nonprofit newsroom that covers gender, politics and policy. Jemele poses a simple yet crucial question: What's a better direction for women — moving forward or going back? Then, Jemele is joined by Seattle Storm All-Star forward and WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike. They assess how the media covered the WNBA this season and whether the W can maintain its activist DNA. Nneka explains her involvement with More Than A Vote and her connection to VP Kamala Harris. Jemele also asks Nneka a controversial question: Ghanaian or Nigerian jollof rice? Lastly, Jemele advises a listener on how to get into the media business.
