Pull Up with Myles and Owen – Details, episodes & analysis

Connecticut Sun head coach Stephanie White pulls up to talk about her team as it gets ready for the 2024 postseason, highlighting the play of all its key roster elements and also sharing some stories about her life before and around basketball.

Gabe Stark, the creator of Rare Breed BX, joins Myles and Owen to talk about his creative enterprise, a New York-based luxury sportswear brand that specializes in premier, fully-stitched custom jerseys. His client list is impressive, but perhaps none more than Ellie the Elephant, the mascot that has taken the W by storm.

In this special episode, we give our loyal Pull Up listeners a glimpse into the content we've been providing on Step Back. After Liberty fans were taken aback by Kayla Thornton's shocking answer to the classic New York or Chicago pizza debate -- she said "Papa John's" -- we had to discuss. With answers from Breanna Stewart, Kennedy Burke, and KT herself, Owen and Myles break down what's being done in the Liberty locker room to address this grievance which, if left unchecked, could take a slice out of the team's chemistry.

Erica Ayala, the talented multi-sport media star, joins Owen and Myles to talk about her path to women's sports journalism, the New York Liberty's play through the first month of the season, and so much more. 

In this week's episode, women's sports writer Lyndsey D'Arcangelo -- who you probably recognize from bylines anywhere -- joins Myles and Owen to share her thoughts on storytelling, on battling to get the W exposure at more publications, and some of her favorite anecdotes. Pull up for another fun conversation!

For the second part of our 2024 WNBA season primer, we bring on Steve Jones Jr., the other half of The Dunker Spot podcast. Here, we break down the eastern conference, with a little bit of reflection and analysis following some teams returning to action on opening night.

On the eve of the WNBA season, Nekias Duncan, one half of The Dunker Spot podcast, joins the guys to break down the western conference, answering a burning question or two about each of the six teams on that side of the standings.

For episode 30 -- a special edition partnered with La Crema, the WNBA's official wine -- Terrika Foster-Brasby rejoined Myles and Owen to talk about everything going on ahead of the WNBA season: Candace Parker's surprise retirement, the teams that could make a splash in 2024, and the ever-growing chip on the shoulders of her Connecticut Sun. 

Meghan L. Hall, an Atlanta Dream reporter for USA Today's For the Win, joins Owen and Myles to discuss her first ever WNBA draft experience, the growing popularity of women's hoops -- both within and without the Caitlin Clark phenomenon, and the importance of building relationships to build stories. 

In this episodes, Owen and Myles bring back B. Terrell for his second appearance on the pod to celebrate the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks after they completed a perfect 38-0 season. They get into the Final Four environment, the connectedness and buy-in of this roster, and the legacy of Coach Dawn Staley.
