Cassidy Hubbarth and WNBA Star Skylar Diggins Team Up for New Podcast

Sports broadcaster Cassidy Hubbarth and WNBA All-Star Skylar Diggins team up for a new video podcast called ANDMOM, set to launch on May 14. Created by Vox Media and Wavelength, the show aims to create a space where women can openly discuss motherhood experiences without filters.

The series will cover a range of topics, including fertility struggles, identity shifts, career sacrifices, and the emotional journey of childbirth. Cassidy Hubbarth, known for her work at ESPN and currently as Amazon Prime Video’s lead NBA sideline reporter, brings her personal experience of navigating pregnancy while working in a high-profile role to the podcast.

Skylar Diggins shared, “With ANDMOM, we’re building a space where women can speak openly about what they’re going through, support one another, and feel less pressure to hide parts of their story.” Hubbarth also opened up about her pregnancy journey, highlighting the fear of how it could impact her career and the pressure to keep it hidden.

While Diggins and Hubbarth lead busy careers, the show’s long-term distribution strategy remains unclear. However, with the demand for authentic content from athletes and media figures on the rise, ANDMOM has the potential to attract a broad audience looking for relatable stories and advice.

The podcast’s focus on the balance between motherhood and career is a common struggle for many, making it an intriguing addition to the podcast landscape. As ANDMOM prepares to debut, it will be fascinating to see how audiences engage with its intimate and informative content and whether sports-related topics will play a significant role in the podcast’s discussions.
