WNBA veterans Aari McDonald and Rachel Banham are making the most out of their first season at Unrivaled. The duo will launch ‘Aari and Rachel: Unfiltered at Unrivaled,’ a new weekly podcast.
The vodcast debuts Jan. 15, offering fans an inside look at the energy and culture driving Unrivaled. McDonald and Banham plan to break down the ins and outs of women’s professional basketball, discussing everything from the league’s biggest plays to game day tunnel fits. The first episode features Dallas Wings and Breeze guard Paige Bueckers and Bueckers’ Wings teammate and Mist center Li Yueru.
‘I’m incredibly excited about this new venture Rachel [Banham] and I are bringing to Unrivaled this season,” McDonald said. “It gives me the opportunity to talk about the game I love to play while showcasing my personality, fashion, and the importance of education and financial literacy among athletes, along with many other meaningful topics of conversation, with some fun.”
Banham added: ‘I can’t wait to get to know some of the best basketball players in the world, not just as hoopers, but as humans. I’m excited for this growing fan base to see the behind-the-scenes fun at Unrivaled and what we’re all about!’
On Thursday, Jan. 15, the series will be available on YouTube and across all major podcast platforms, with new episodes dropping weekly. Fans can follow along on social media under the name @unfilteredpoddd.
