This week on A Touch More, we’re live from Sports Beach 2025 in Cannes, France with Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall. The gold-medal winning track and field power couple break down their mission to bring more attention to their sport, why track needs to become easier to watch, and how they balance each other out as partners. And since this the very first time we’ve interviewed another gold-medal couple, we asked them to give us one of their Bickers of the Week and they got to play Are you a Tara or Are you a Hunter?

This week on A Touch More, we are convening for our first-ever book club meeting! We’re joined by a very special guest: Sue’s older sister Jen, the owner of Athena Books in Old Greenwich, CT. Even if you didn’t get a chance to finish our first pick, We Can Do Hard Things by Abby Wambach and Glennon and Amanda Doyle, join us to hear why the book was the perfect debut selection. We’ll hear some listener thoughts on the book and then get into much more with Jen, like why she opened a bookstore, how she reads 70+ books a year, and how she can take some credit for Sue’s speed on the court. Also, Jen recommended some more books for this summer! Check them out and order them here. Listen to find out how to enter a raffle to win some of these books!

A Touch More kicks off Pride Month with Megan’s very scientific theory that you can’t win championships without gay players. We get into some WNBA news, with Kate Martin’s whopping 14 points in six minutes (check out Sue’s interview with Kate on Bird’s Eye View on Friday) and we try to figure out how the Fever will handle its slew of point guard injuries. Then we chat with Angel City FC teammates Ali Riley and Syd Leroux about their podcast BFFR, what it means to control their own narratives, and what they’re looking forward to this season in LA. Stick around for the responses to last week’s “Are you a Megan or Are you a Sue?”-- when does celebrating become taunting?

This week we are live from New York for the Liberty’s home opener, with extra special guest Breanna Stewart! We have lots of thoughts on the opening weekend of the WNBA: who impressed us with their game and with their fits. And we’re not happy with the media’s coverage of Caitlin Clark’s hard foul on Angel Reese. We tell you why. With Stewie, she reveals the best advice Sue ever gave her, and what she thinks about the Liberty’s newest additions, Marine Johannès and Natasha Cloud. She also tells us how she really feels about Aaliyah Edwards beating her in Unrivaled. Of course, we couldn’t let her go without asking her about that 2024 foul call.  Stick around for a little check-in after the live event. We share some punishing responses to last week’s Bicker of the Week about Megan’s criminal behavior with the ice cream.
