Is Caitlin Clark WNBA's saviour, or its newest villain?

Women’s basketball would be lucky to rate a mention in America, let alone Australia. Yet that has all changed since Caitlin Clark came along.

The 22-year-old is one of the most promising female basketball players in the US, making the transition from college ball to being signed as the number one draft pick for the Indiana Fever this year.

However, her popularity hasn’t been without controversy, fuelled by Clark’s entrance as a white player in a predominantly Black sport.

In this episode, we’re joined by Cat Lynch from Triple M, who’s been following Clark’s journey and is here to unpack the complexities of her story.
