WNBA star Sophie Cunningham embarks on a bold new venture, launching a podcast that she herself admits could lead to her being “canceled real fast,” stirring anticipation and controversy among fans.
Titled ‘Show Me Something,’ the podcast pairs Cunningham with reality television personality West Wilson, promising a candid and unfiltered dialogue. Their shared history of public scrutiny forms the foundation for what they hope will be an entertaining yet provocative series.
According to Cunningham, the primary objective of ‘Show Me Something’ is simply for her and Wilson to have fun, allowing their authentic personalities to shine through without reservation. This laid-back approach, however, belies the potential for controversial discussions.
Wilson, a seasoned veteran of public criticism, anticipates strong reactions from listeners. He acknowledged that both he and Cunningham have previously faced public backlash, suggesting a readiness to navigate potential storms stemming from their outspoken nature.
Wilson articulated a curiosity about Cunningham’s fan base, admitting he’s unsure of their specific preferences but expressing excitement about exploring the dynamics of their shared audience through the podcast’s unique format. This exploration could define the podcast’s future direction.
The inaugural episode, released recently, immediately dove into high-profile topics, with Cunningham addressing the widespread debate surrounding her Indiana Fever teammate, Caitlin Clark. Cunningham robustly defended Clark, challenging narratives that question Clark’s status as a dominant figure in the WNBA.
Cunningham’s professional journey in the WNBA began in 2019 when she joined the Phoenix Mercury as a shooting guard, establishing her presence in professional basketball. Her recent trade in January to the Indiana Fever marked a significant transition in her career.
The ‘Show Me Something’ podcast, with its blend of candid celebrity conversation and potential for controversy, positions itself as a notable new entry in the sports and entertainment podcast landscape, potentially redefining public perception of its hosts.
