Wine & Dime

Clipwrecked

Chris and Lyndsay are back, and popping open the Cava. They start with the messy breakup between Chris Paul and the Clippers, where Chris could wind up (Wolves?), and the general disaster that is the Los Angeles Clippers before hitting on the Suns connecting deeper with the Indigenous community in Arizona, Norman Powell the renaissance man, the state of North American sports ownership (James Dolan sucks, but private equity sucks worse), an update on the WNBA-WNBPA negotiations and the ever stranger landscape that is college athletics.

They Were Hired by Dr. Evil to Construct Project B

Chris and Lyndsay are back, this time with an assortment of wine and wine adjacent beverages, covering all the latest news in women's basketball including; the new Big Tech funded league that sounds like a Dr. Evil plan, the Chicago Sky's tragic asset management, what kind of players the Tempo will target for their inaugural season and the unnecessary but not bad Phoenix Mercury rebrand. After that they spend some time on a couple of surprising NBA teams (Suns and Raptors) and the joy of just having a decent team to cheer for.

We Pelicannot

On this episode of Wine & Dime the team are heading back to Rioja and begin with some news about WNBA CBA negotiations and what the new Saudi-backed league means for players before a round of stock up/stock down on the first month of the NBA season (stock up: Giannis dunking on everyone/stock down: the New Orleans Pelicans sinking season).

Revenue Sharing is Caring

Chris and Lyndsay return to cover all of the madness that has occurred during their mini break. They begin by hitting all of the news regarding coaching hirings and firings before diving more into the WNBA labour strife and recapping the WNBA Finals. In the second half of the episode, they draft early NBA season storylines including Wemby's early reign of terror, the NBA's optics problem with gambling, the Raptors maybe not being terrible and the freeing of Tyler Kolek.

Safe Spaces and 18 Wheeler Basketball with Chris Pennant

Wine & Dime is back, and this time with an additional Chris! The crew is joined by Chris Pennant, freelance broadcaster and newly minted M.S in Journalism, to discuss the calamity that is the Chicago Sky, Napheesa Collier's Kendrick Lamar moment (Say 'Cathy'), the possibility of a WNBA lockout, and the WNBA Finals bound Phoenix Mercury, plus Bill Laimbeer. 

Get it Together, Cathy

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay dive into the first round of the WNBA Playoffs and discuss the Game 1 domination by the Lynx, the Aces hitting their stride at the right time, the dogfight between the Mercury and Liberty, and the Dream showing they're a real playoff threat. They finish with some discussion about the standoff between the Chicago Sky and Angel Reese, the apparent cap circumvention issue for the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard, and EA backing out of their ambitious college basketball video game project.

A Full-Shouldered Wine

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay sip on the first Malbec of the podcast while diving into WNBA trends (stock up: Atlanta Dream, stock down: point guard knees in Indianapolis), power ranking every wine that has been featured on the pod, and give a quick shout out to Ireland Basketball (and the country) for fighting the good fight against FIBA’s complicity in a genocide.

Comrade Wemby

Back from a little pod hiatus, Chris and Lyndsay discuss NBA free agency moves including the Denver Nuggets having a burly Eastern European in the middle for a whole game, heartwarming legacy reunions between beloved ageing legends and their former teams, and Victor Wembanyama's very interesting summer before catching up on all the latest W news like the contentious CBA negotiations, Alyssa Thomas' shoulder-less dominance, whether the Aces are well and truly cooked, and the rich getting richer with Emma Meeseeman's New York return to the league.

The Thunder Roll

Chris and Lyndsay talk NBA Finals, the modern NBA being the enemy of achilles tendons everywhere, and NBA trades (KD to the Rockets) before talking Commissioners Cup, surprising Valkyries, Point Angel and the Sky, and why WNBA workplace romances make the league so much more fun.
