Naked Sports Season 4 Finale with Cari C...

About this episode

In the final episode of Naked Sports Season 4, you take a moment to look back and breathe it all in. Cari reflects on the journey — how the show evolved with the culture and the world’s events. Back when it was called Naked, it was all about the intimate, vulnerable stories from our guests. Now, it’s a space where bold voices meet big topics. Case in point? Today’s timely conversation on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl forthcoming appearance, which exemplifies how sports doesn’t just live on the field. It lives in the headlines, the halftime shows, the hidden political events, and/or in case it becomes a political event.

Naked, now "Naked Sports" has grown into something fearless: a platform where sports, politics, and culture collide in real-time.

We shift from the Super Bowl to the topic that led the season — women’s sports. Cari shines a light on the Las Vegas Aces, the tireless advocacy of WNBA players, and the battles still being fought against pay disparities, visibility gaps, and the push for real equity in a league full of stars. 

Women’s sports are having a moment — and we’re not just watching it.
We’re part of it, and thank you all for being a part of NAKED SPORTS! 

Special thanks to the Naked Sports team, our listeners, and everyone who’s been part of this evolution. 

This may be the end of a season, but it’s the beginning of something bigger.
