Audacy's Women's Basketball Podcast Comes to Knoxville for a Special In-Person Taping at the Home of Women's Basketball.

 

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 5, 2026 - The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame (WBHOF) today announced it will host a live recording of Audacy's acclaimed "The Women's Hoops Show" on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. ET. The event will take place at the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, 700 Hall of Fame Drive, Knoxville, TN 37915, and will feature WBHOF Class of 2024 inductee Taj McWilliams-Franklin as a special guest alongside host Jordan Robinson.

 

"The Women's Hoops Show" is Audacy's original weekly podcast dedicated to covering all facets of women's basketball, from the WNBA and college hoops to Unrivaled and beyond. Hosted by leading women's sports journalist Jordan Robinson, the show features players, coaches, retired legends, and insiders diving deep into the moments, culture, and history shaping the sport.

 

The live recording will take place at a natural home for the conversation: the only facility in the world solely dedicated to women's basketball. The event is timed to coincide with the WBHOF's Class of 2026 Induction Weekend, making it a perfect complement to one of the most celebrated weeks on the women's basketball calendar.

 

McWilliams-Franklin, inducted in the WBHOF Class of 2024 alongside fellow Minnesota Lynx legends Maya Moore and Seimone Augustus, brings a storied career to the conversation. A six-time WNBA All-Star, two-time WNBA champion (Detroit Shock, 2008; Minnesota Lynx, 2011), and 1993 NAIA Player of the Year, "Mama Taj" is widely celebrated not only for her excellence on the court but also for her leadership and character. Since retiring, McWilliams-Franklin has served in various coaching roles and currently works as the UPSHOT League's Vice President of Basketball Operations.

 

"There is no better place to celebrate the past, present, and future of women's basketball than right here at the Hall of Fame," said Michelle Marciniak, CEO of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. "Bringing Jordan and 'The Women's Hoops Show' to Knoxville with a legend like Taj McWilliams-Franklin is exactly the kind of moment we live for. We invite fans, students of the game, and the entire Knoxville community to join us for an unforgettable evening."
