Wine & Dime

The Indecision

Chris and Lyndsay are back, joined by Imman from the Dishes and Dimes podcast to discuss the latest news in the league(s). They discuss LeBron's continuing free agency, Kawhi's pending status as a Raptor and the nightmare fuel provided by the investigation, and LaMelo Ball's choices in tattoos before assessing what's wrong with the Mercury and giving Marina Mabrey her flowers.

Trading Places

It's officially NBA trade season and there have already been some tectonic shifts. Giannis is finally on the move after the most arduous trade saga in recent memory. LaMelo is, shockingly, a Timberwolf. And everybody - even some teams who aren't that good! - is tying themselves in knots to make sure the Knicks don't repeat as champions.

Nothing Like New York in the Spring

Chris and Lyndsay are back to discuss THE New York Knickerbockers as your 2026 NBA Champions. They talk about how it feels as a Knicks fan to win after 53 years, the blend of optimism and pessimism always carried by Knicks fans, OG's tip in and why Raptors fans will always root for him, Josh Hart's $20,000 bottle of wine, Wemby's flagrant fouls, and what the Spurs need to get back to this stage.

Basketball Book Club

Chris and Lyndsay are back to talk about the NBA Finals and everything that lead up to now. They discuss how Wemby was created to personally make Chet's life hell, SGA and his free throws, the San Antonio Public Library's player sized stacks, how the Sacramento Kings influenced these Finals, KAT's playmaking, and the power of friendship.

Wemby's World

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish wine to discuss all things WNBA and NBA playoffs. They begin with the messy start in Dallas, the surprising (and once again kind of depressing) Chicago Sky, Portland's atmosphere being fire, and the impact of international scouting being apparent so far in teams like Phoenix and Toronto. They close the episode by declaring the Sixers frauds, attempting to figure out the path forward in Minnesota, recapping Spurs/Thunder and previewing Knicks/Cavaliers.

WNBA Season Outlook with Christan B

Happy WNBA season to all who celebrate, the season is finally here! Chris and Lyndsay are back, this time joined by Christan B, to discuss which WNBA teams had the best offseasons, whose were the most baffling (looking at you, Valkyries and Sky), and the influx of college coaches into the league. They finish the episode with some NBA playoff thoughts, including the Knicks beating up on Philly, and fraud watch in Houston and Cleveland.

The Seattle Storm are Big as Hell

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay celebrate Spanish basketball with some Verdejo and discuss all the latest happenings in the WNBA before a quick NBA playoff preview. They discuss Dallas lesbians having reasons to celebrate the Pazzi reunion, the Seattle Storm doubling down on size, the different team building strategies employed by Toronto and Portland ahead of their inaugural seasons, the varying spice levels of the NBA first round matchups, and finish with some rumination on Atlanta heavy metal and the Dream.

Amateur GM Hours

A lot has happened since the gang last recorded, and with the WNBA Expansion Draft coming soon, Chris and Lyndsay cracked open some Sicilian wine and dug. They kick off the episode with amateur GM hours and do a mock expansion draft with Lyndsay picking for the Tempo and Chris for the Fire. They wrap up with a discussion about the next generation of NCAA WBB coaches and who is waiting to take the torch from Geno and Dawn (if anyone), the G League's strange playoff format, and an ode to the Round Mound of Rebound, Charles Barkley.

Wines with Wingspans

Chris and Lyndsay are back with some French wine to discuss the latest on WNBA CBA negotiations and their marathon negotiations, FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifier, Bam's 83-point explosion and why joy in basketball matters, K-State MBB's new coach, and finally answer the question of whether wine can have a wingspan.

Lemon Pepper

It's the stretch run of the NBA season where the story has been the tank race rather than the playoff race so Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish Garnacha to chat about all manners of basketball including the WNBA's continuing labour strife, the success of Unrivaled, whether or not Kim Jong Un can hoop (Baron Trump definitely can't), and why the Atlanta Hawks collab with Magic City is far from the most harmful thing the NBA does to women.
