Angel Reese, the rising WNBA star, first announced in August that she would be launching her own podcast, Unapologetically Angel, and fans won’t have to wait much longer for the debut episode, which drops later this Thursday. Reese, who is having an outstanding rookie season with the Chicago Sky, created the podcast as a way to connect more deeply with her growing fanbase.
Known for her dynamic play on the court, Reese is now looking to share more of herself off the hardwood, offering insights into her life, career, and passions.
In an interview with Complex, Reese explained her motivation behind the podcast: “It’s another way for me to connect with my fans and reach new audiences I wouldn’t necessarily have before. I can’t wait to share a different side with listeners and have them come on this ride with me.”
Reese emphasized that Unapologetically Angel will be a platform for authentic and unfiltered conversations. “I mainly want this podcast to be a place for genuine discussions, whether I’m sharing insights on basketball, the current trends in fashion, or the latest news in entertainment,” she said. This approach will give her fans an intimate look at her world beyond the court.
Just ahead of the podcast’s launch, Reese’s social media team promoted the first episode with a striking photo of the All-Star forward. In the image, Reese rocks an all-pink outfit, a nod to her nickname “Bayou Barbie,” which she earned during her time at LSU for her fierce play and stylish persona.

Reese’s dominance on the court has been nothing short of remarkable in her first year in the WNBA. She recently broke the league’s all-time single-season record for total rebounds and set a new record for the most offensive boards in a season. As of now, she’s averaging an impressive 13.3 points and 13.2 rebounds per game, solidifying her status as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
Before she returns to the hardwood this Friday to face the Los Angeles Sparks, Reese will first make her podcasting debut, offering fans a unique opportunity to hear from her in a new and exciting way.
For fans of Reese and basketball enthusiasts alike, Unapologetically Angel promises to be a compelling listen, full of candid conversations and behind-the-scenes insights into her life, her journey in the WNBA, and her take on culture and trends.
