If you're a fan of women's sports, you already know the WNBA is back, the NWSL season is in full swing, the NCAA softball tournament bracket is set, and the PWHL Walter Cup battle is heating up. Keeping track of all that action can feel like a full-time job—but there's one daily listen that even tennis legend Billie Jean King swears by.
That podcast is Good Game with Sarah Spain. Hosted by the two-time Emmy Award winner and former ESPN personality, this daily show has quickly become the go-to source for women's sports coverage. And when we say "go-to," we mean it literally: King herself tunes in every single day. "Billie Jean King is my friend," Spain shares. "Literally every time I see her and her wife, Ilana Kloss, they're like, 'We're Slices. We listen every day.'"
That nickname for her audience—"Slices"—is part of the show's charm. Spain sells merch emblazoned with the mantra "I'm a Slice," and the name is a playful nod to the snack of choice in many youth sports. It's that mix of humor, snark, and genuine passion that makes the podcast stand out in a crowded field.
Spain's reach extends far beyond superfans. She regularly hears from general managers, coaches, and even league commissioners who tune in. Her guest list reads like a who's who of women's sports, from Olympians to top executives. It's no wonder the show has become a daily ritual for so many in the sports world.
Launched in 2024 as the first-ever daily women's sports podcast from a major corporate media company, Good Game is produced by the iHeart Women's Sports Network. Spain has since been promoted to content director for the network, helping shape its identity as it continues to grow. And with the biggest names in the game—both on and off the field—tuning in, it's clear this show is more than just a listen; it's a movement.
