We're back!

In this episode, Gracie, Kate and Victoria debrief the trip: the nerves of our first media accreditation, what it was like stepping behind the scenes, the stories we couldn't fit into a post and the people who made Berlin so special.

The Washington Mystics are young, chaotic and suddenly right in the middle of the playoff conversation.

This week, local Mystics fan Falon Turner joins Gracie and Kate to break down one of the most exciting young teams in the WNBA. We talk about Washington’s recent run, their playoff chances, the arrival of Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and why Rori Harmon might be one of the most underrated bench players in the league.

We also get Falon’s perspective on following the Mystics from DC before finding out what officially counts as Young Ho Behaviour.

The rebuild might be moving a little faster than expected…

The Sun Are Moving to Houston… So What Happens to Connecticut?

The Connecticut Sun are heading to Houston - and for fans who have spent years supporting the team, that news hits differently.

This week on Hoops Across the Pond, we’re joined by local fan Kate (@notkatesports) to talk about the proposed move, what the franchise has meant to supporters in the state and what it feels like to watch a team with such a strong local identity prepare to leave.

We get into the emotional side of relocation, what Connecticut could lose, what Houston stands to gain, and whether a move like this can ever be viewed purely as a business decision.

☀️ A difficult conversation about fandom, identity and what happens when the business of basketball collides with the people who love it most.
