Sophie Cunningham Relaunches Podcast, Drops Longtime Co‑Host

The Indiana Fever guard moved her show to The Volume with trainer Drew Hanlen to focus on basketball commentary and stay prominent as her team heads into the playoffs.

Overview

  • Cunningham rebranded her dormant program as No Hesitation and launched it with Drew Hanlen on The Volume, taking over the prior podcast feeds and scheduling new episodes weekly on Thursdays.
  • The relaunch ends her on‑air partnership with West Wilson after Show Me Something went quiet in late June and Wilson publicly disagreed with Cunningham’s July comments about transgender athletes.
  • The Indiana Fever welcomed Cunningham back to the team facility and publicly promoted her as a Sixth Player of the Year candidate while she has averaged roughly 8.3 points and shot above 43 percent from three this season.
  • On the debut episode Cunningham praised teammate Caitlin Clark, said she 'should be the commissioner' as a joke, and said her top priority would be ensuring every WNBA team has a functional practice facility.
  • The move highlights a wider league moment: the WNBA is growing in viewership and revenue while leadership will turn over after Cathy Engelbert’s planned 2026 departure, making infrastructure and player access key topics to watch.
