The WNBA season is over, but on A Touch More we’re still playing games: we’re checking out the tug of war between the players and the league as the CBA is about to expire, while five teams play a round of musical chairs to fill their empty head coaching slots.

We’re also talking to Golden State Valkyries’ head coach Natalie Nakase about her epic first season, the biggest risks she took during this year, and what it’s like to play in Ballhalla.

On a more serious note: Millions of Americans are losing their SNAP benefits due to the federal government shutdown and the Trump Administration’s refusal to tap emergency funds to keep the program going. We want to encourage our listeners to consider helping by contributing to your local food back: check out Feeding America to find one in your community. For those in the New York City or Seattle, here are a few organizations we recommend:

NYC:

Food Bank for NYC - https://www.foodbanknyc.org/

West Side Campaign Against Hunger - https://www.wscah.org/

Seattle:

Rainier Valley Food Bank - https://www.rvfb.org/
