Nothing But Respect makes its Defector debut today, and to mark the occasion, my co-host Harry Krinsky and I were thrilled to have on two of Defector&#8217;s premier ball-knowers: Maitreyi and Roth.<\/p>\n<p>As the WNBA is rounding the corner into the final playoff push, we spent the bulk of this week&#8217;s episode talking through several of the more interesting W storylines, including what <a href=\"https:\/\/defector.com\/at-the-very-least-the-atlanta-dream-are-worth-watching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">makes the Atlanta Dream cool<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/defector.com\/why-a-bunch-of-real-dicks-keep-throwing-fake-ones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">exhausting spectacle of Dildogate<\/a>, and how <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/maitreyiaa.bsky.social\/post\/3lui622tj3k2r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Maitreyi sold her book<\/a>, which we are all extremely excited about.

It is a longer episode, which is warranted when you can get guests like these on the horn.<\/p>\n<p>As ever, especially at the outset of the show&#8217;s Defector era, it is extremely helpful for us if you were to leave a five-star rating and short review in whatever podcast app you use. You can find the show in <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/nothing-but-respect\/id1767406634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> or whatever podcast app you use.
