A Touch More with Sue Bird & Megan Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe on Why the Media Should Cover the WNBA Differently + Crystal Dunn on Retirement & What’s Next

April 23, 2026·1h 4m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Megan discusses the highlights of the WNBA draft, player movement and the record contracts being signed by A’ja Wilson and Aliyah Boston. She also critiques some of the reactions to a reporter’s question to Azzi Fudd about joining Paige Bueckers on the Dallas Wings, and cautions against treating the WNBA like the NBA.  Megan dives back into the beautiful game with her former USWNT teammate, Crystal Dunn, who recently announced her retirement. They talk about Dunn’s uniquely versatile career, having a baby in between the Olympics and the World Cup, and why it was the right time for Dunn to move on from soccer. Plus, Megan shares her way-too-early takes on the state of the NWSL and ranks her top three new league kits. A Touch More: The Podcast is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.
