About this listen

The Golden State Valkyries just cracked open a surprise — literally. Outside Chase Center, a giant violet egg hatched their brand-new mascot: Violet the Raven. Host Kaari Peterson breaks down Violet's egg-cellent debut and the Norse mythology behind “Ballhalla.”

Next up, it’s tech time: The WNBA’s partnership with Second Spectrum is bringing full-court optical tracking and mind-bending analytics to the league. From sharper coaching to smarter storytelling, Kaari dives into how data is reshaping the game.

And we can't forget — this week’s awards:

🏆 Buzzer Beater: Sue Bird gets immortalized in bronze

❌ Airball: An all-male officiating crew in a WNBA game (seriously?)

🚫 Flagrant Foul: The bizarre wave of sex-toy tossing on W courts

Hit play, and let’s talk mascots, mythology and motion capture.
