Angel Reese Spills The Tea On Her New Podcast

Making big moves on and off the court, WNBA star Angel Reese just began another new venture as a podcast host.

“Unapologetically Angel” premiered on Thursday and many fans have taken to social media to give their thoughts on the new podcast. In her first episode, the Chicago Sky rookie talked about a variety of hot topics.

Reese announced her new podcast venture last month, and the first episode dropped two days ago. She said she wanted to do the podcast to connect more with her fans. Reese will be joined by her co-host, Maya Reese, no relation.

“It’s another way for me to connect with my fans and reach new audiences I wouldn’t necessarily have before. I can’t wait to share a different side with listeners and have them come on this ride with me,” Reese told Complex.

“I mainly want this podcast to be a place for authentic and unfiltered conversations. Whether I’m sharing insights on basketball, the current trends in fashion, or the latest news in entertainment.”

Reese plans to have a variety of guests on her show.

“I really want to have guests across all different industries on the show – sports, music, entertainment, business, creators, and more,” she explained. “But you know I’m definitely going to have to get my girls Meg (thee Stallion), Latto, and Cardi B on here.”

One topic Reese tackled during her first podcast episode was about her college days at LSU. She wanted to set the record straight about the highly discussed two-week break she had during her final season at LSU.

While many speculated that Reese’s extended break from the court had to do with a failing GPA, pregnancy, or a fight with her coach, Kim Mulkey, the Sky star revealed her break was for her mental health.

Reese explained that after they lost their first game of the season to a lower-ranked team, she was accused of being unfocused on social media. At the following game, Reese didn’t play in the second half and said she and Mulkey “kind of got into it about something” so she “respectfully” sat out the second half.

During this time, Reese was also struggling to balance her presence on social media with her life, so she felt it best to take some time off and reset.

During the podcast, rumors about Reese dating NBA star Kevin Durant entered the chat.

Her co-host brought up the conversation that began swirling around after Reese was seen sitting next to Durant courtside at a game.

“That was never a thing. I don’t even know how that even became a thing because I sat next to somebody,” Reese said. “KD has literally been my favorite player since I was really a kid and is still my favorite player.”

She also said that KD’s mom supports the WNBA and goes to many of the games.

Reese also talked about her “love life.” She revealed that her love language is “quality time” and that she usually dates basketball players.

In July, it was announced that Reese will be playing in Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 pro women’s basketball league during the WNBA’s off-season. She talked a little about that during her podcast.

“I’m really excited. For one, I came straight from college so knowing that I don’t have to go overseas and I’m able to play still in the States is something I wanted,” she said.

“Being able to play with some of the 30 best women in the league, I’m really excited for that.”

New podcast episodes will drop every Thursday, and fans are excited for what’s to come. After the first episode, many took to Instagram to share their thoughts on the new podcast.

“This is the greatest podcast in the world episode was the best it was so amazing episode two is going to be even more amazing if it’s possible,” one person shared. Another added, “This was so good, Angel! I can’t wait for next week!”

The comment section was also filled with tons of heart, fire, and hands-up emojis.
