‘Definitely One of My Idols’: Angel Reese’s Fight Against $660 Billion Industry Earns a Single-Word Praise From Sky Rookie’s Agent | HO

There is no doubt that Angel Reese has been one of the talking points this WNBA season, as the rookie has not only impressed with her on-court performance but has kept everyone fascinated with her off-court ventures. Well, this time the rookie has announced a new project which will see her hosting a show of her own. While this new venture offers her a unique platform to engage with fans, her agent has expressed excitement about how it will also address an important issue Reese has been subjected to since her debut.

Shortly after Angel Reese announced her new show, a tweet praised the move, saying, “That’s why I’m glad Angel has her own podcast now. Ppl will get to know her better and she can dismiss all of these fake narratives ppl create on SM about her for engagement.” And as soon as this caught the attention of the rookie’s agent Jeanine Ogbonnaya, she was all vouching on that point. Ogbonnaya retweeted it and wrote, “This. 👏”

What’s your reaction?

The Sky forward has faced relentless media scrutiny in her rookie season. “I can’t trust any of y’all [media]. So I’m just letting you know — short and sweet,” Reese said in an interview, accusing the media of distorting her words. Well, it’s true that Angel Reese has faced significant negative media attention in the past few months.

Just a couple of months ago, a reporter even questioned whether the rookie was truly comfortable with her ‘villain’ persona, which emerged after she committed a flagrant foul on fellow rookie Caitlin Clark during a game against the Indiana Fever. Not only that, the media has claimed that the 22-years-old forward is jealous and bitter about her ROTY rival Clark. Now with her own platform, Reese will have a powerful way to address and counter the narratives she believes the media has been pushing against her. Let’s discuss her latest show and how it’s connected with another NBA legend.

When will Angel Reese’s podcast drop first episode?

The rookie’s new podcast, Unapologetically Angel, is set to drop new episodes every Thursday, starting with the premiere on September 5. It will be hosted by the Sky star herself and Maya Reese, who shares no relation with Angel. Interestingly, the podcast is produced by Playmaker HQ, the team behind Shaquille O’Neal’s The Big Podcast. Reese’s show is the latest addition to their star-studded lineup.

“I can’t wait to share a different side with listeners and have them come on this ride with me,” said Reese as her podcast has a catchy five-word tagline unveiled on Instagram: “What They Gonna Say Now?” . Reese’s tagline seems to be a subtle response to her critics, who continue to scrutinize her game despite her impressive rookie performance.

Angel Reese also expressed her excitement over the internet when she shared a teaser video for her upcoming show. “💞SO EXCITED FOR THIS!” wrote the rookie player on her X. It’ll be fascinating to watch how Reese leverages this new platform to engage directly with her audience and tackle the negativity fueled by the media. The fans can also watch its episodes on You Tube.
