Double Drivel
Double Drivel is a mother–daughter podcast about the WNBA, basketball fandom, and watching the game together across generations.
We’re fans, not experts. One of us likes patterns, context, and the occasional stat. The other goes by vibes, highlights, and how the game feels. Together, we talk WNBA hoops from the couch — what we’re noticing, what we’re learning, and what keeps us coming back.
This isn’t a show for hot takes or gatekeeping. It’s a space for thoughtful, curious conversations about women’s basketball, made for longtime fans and people just finding the league.
No experts.
No gatekeeping.
Just hoops.
