This week on A Touch More, we’re live from Sports Beach 2025 in Cannes, France with Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall.
The gold-medal winning track and field power couple break down their mission to bring more attention to their sport, why track needs to become easier to watch, and how they balance each other out as partners.
And since this the very first time we’ve interviewed another gold-medal couple, we asked them to give us one of their Bickers of the Week and they got to play Are you a Tara or Are you a Hunter?

We’ll hear some listener thoughts on the book and then get into much more with Jen, like why she opened a bookstore, how she reads 70+ books a year, and how she can take some credit for Sue’s speed on the court.

This week we are live from New York for the Liberty’s home opener, with extra special guest Breanna Stewart!
We have lots of thoughts on the opening weekend of the WNBA: who impressed us with their game and with their fits. And we’re not happy with the media’s coverage of Caitlin Clark’s hard foul on Angel Reese. We tell you why.
With Stewie, she reveals the best advice Sue ever gave her, and what she thinks about the Liberty’s newest additions, Marine Johannès and Natasha Cloud. She also tells us how she really feels about Aaliyah Edwards beating her in Unrivaled. Of course, we couldn’t let her go without asking her about that 2024 foul call.
Stick around for a little check-in after the live event. We share some punishing responses to last week’s Bicker of the Week about Megan’s criminal behavior with the ice cream.

We are also excited to talk about all the beauty brands entering women’s sports, especially Rihanna’s Fenty partnering with the NY Liberty. Our only question: what took beauty brands so long?
Before we wrap, we have a fresh new Bicker we want to get your thoughts on. It involves ice cream – again.

The Final Four is officially official. Why has the tournament been so low-scoring so far? And does that mean the team with a Certified Bucket Getter (CBG) is primed to win it all? We chat through this and all the possibilities that could go down in the final stretch.
And then onto our Unrivaled Championship Spectacular. We speak to series Champ and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray and the inaugural MVP and 1-on-1 champ Napheesa Collier.
Chelsea talks about playing with Angel Reese, the beef that WILL spillover to the W season, and shares some of the ways she’d like to see Unrivaled evolve next year.
Then, Napheesa reflects on what it means to start a successful new league, and if she’s going to continue her scorched earth streak into next year.

And we discuss a path forward for USC after Juju Watkins's season-ending ACL injury -- sending our heartfelt best wishes to Juju! We’re going to miss her in the tourney, but know she’ll be back.
Checking in on our bracket, we share some tough lessons we’ve learned the hard way and the matchups we’re looking forward to. Plus, we drop a little behind-the-scenes look of Megan “locked-in” at game time.
And we’re introducing a new segment: Make it Make Sense, where we’ll call out things that just don’t add up. Like: when fans chant “overrated" at an opposing team, are they committing a self-own? This leads Megan and Sue to recollect their all-time best heckle moments.
And the verdict is in on last week’s Bicker of the Week aka the sunscreen fiasco, but Megan and Sue settle things their own way.

This week, we’re coming to you straight from SXSW in Austin, where we sat down with two of the fastest people on the planet—Olympic track stars Nikki Hiltz and Gabby Thomas.
But first, we’ll check in on where women’s sports stand today and what needs to happen to keep the momentum going for the next 100 years. We’re talking investment, Gen Alpha’s sports habits, and why women’s sports constantly have to break records just to prove their worth.
Then, Nikki and Gabby get real about life as pro track athletes—how they actually make money, the highs and lows of competing in an individual sport, and, of course, who’s faster? They also weigh in on what needs to change to make women’s sports safer and better for everyone, plus why trans athlete representation is more important than ever.
And to wrap it up, we put them through a few rounds of Bench/Start/Cut and settle this week’s Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue: do you fall asleep with the TV on or off?
