About this episode

Azzi and Ashanti catch up with WNBA rookie Kaitlyn Chen, who joins the pod all the way from Prague. The three get into everything from Kaitlyn’s love for sourdough to life overseas, culture shocks, and her chaotic 72-hour move to Europe.

Kaitlyn reflects on her whirlwind year — winning a national championship at UConn, getting drafted into the W, and becoming the first Taiwanese player in league history. She opens up about adjusting to pro ball, building chemistry with the Golden State Valkyries, and what it’s like playing in front of 18,000 fans in Ballhalla.
