Talking Tempo
Hosted by Talking Tempo
Two university basketball coaches provide in-depth analysis of the WNBA's Toronto Tempo, focusing on strategy, analytics, and player development.
This is a hyper-focused, coach-centric breakdown of a single WNBA expansion team. Rather than broad sports talk, the hosts use their professional coaching backgrounds to deliver what feels like a public film session, complete with statistical deep dives, on-screen video analysis, and explanations of complex concepts like ESPN's 'Gravity Stat'.
“Its primary distinction is the hosts' credentials as active, high-level university and national team coaches. This allows for a level of strategic and statistical analysis that is far more granular than typical fan podcasts, focusing exclusively on one team.”
