Angel Reese's podcast is booming—Is she the next big thing in sports media?

Ever since the Chicago Sky were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs, Angel Reese has garnered more attention than ever. Starting in September, she released her podcast Unapologetically Angel, the reason behind which was to “continue to grow” her business “as a businesswoman.” The two-way communicative pod has seen 6 guests in its 6 episodes, excluding Reese herself who dropped the first episode with the interim host, Maya Reese. And now as fans gear up to watch her seventh episode this Thursday, the official Instagram handle revealed that the American rapper GloRilla will be making an appearance on the much-awaited show.

“if you do another song who would you wanna collab with that you never collabed with?” a user commented on the Instagram post that announced GloRilla’s arrival in the next episode. The post made from the podcast’s official Instagram handle had a picture of Glo with the caption, “Ask GloRilla Anything!” and fans looked to go crazy with their questions.

Over time, Glo has collaborated with a lot of artists including Megan Thee Stallion, Lattoo, and others. For her collab with Megan Thee Stallion on ‘Wanna Be,’ she was also nominated for the Best Collaboration award for MTV Video Music Awards. Though she couldn’t win it, the song was still a hit. She is extremely active in the music industry and her representatives know the agent of Reese, leading to a developing friendship between the two.

When Glo was performing for Megan Thee Stallion in the opening act of Hot Girl Summer Tour, she called Reese and her Sky teammates on stage to perform with them. Reese’s twerk to the “Yeah Glo!” went viral and since then, the video has become popular on Instagram. Talking about the unexpected invitation to the stage, Reese divulged, “We didn’t know we were going to the stage, so that was a surprise. Luckily, we had cute outfits. It was really cool.” Furthermore, the Chi-Town Barbie also demonstrated her friendship with Glo on her birthday.

In July, the Sky rookie greeted the Hip Hop star on her 25th birthday when Glo was partying in Jamaica. Therefore, going by Reese’s bond with her, it looks as if she is the right person to ask her questions regarding her life, and also make her comfortable in revealing hidden details of her professional life. And therefore, fans were all the more excited to welcome Glo on the podcast.

What’s your perspective on:

Have an interesting take?

“You are the most beautiful woman in NBA history Angel,” seeing Reese invite Glo, one fan was all praises for Reese. Notably, Reese has previously invited Latto, and Sheryl Swoopes among others to her pod. The conversations are easy flowing and involve the hidden details of one’s life. Reese too participates and shares her take on various events, which makes the pod a worthwhile watch, especially if a fan is into pop culture. Hence, the fan must have been pleased by Reese’s announcement and complimented her.

“Growing them podcast numbers!” another social media user opined that this would help Reese grow the podcast numbers. The highest views on her pod were recorded when Polo G made an appearance during the second episode (377K). Therefore, as per the user, GloRilla is also associated with the Hip Hop culture and might get a lot of views.

“Angel how bout u do a interview on the court plzzz omg,” another fan requested Reese to do an interview on the court. The fan might have requested this since it will help highlight Reese’s brand as basketball is the biggest part of her identity as of now.

“What inspired the overall concept of the new album?” another fan asked. Glo debuted with her Glorious just a few days ago. The rapper was prepping to release the album in 2023 originally, but the reception to her singles wasn’t that great. Hence, the Memphis rapper tried to incorporate more elements in her debut album to make it a big hit.

Hopefully, fans will be able to see a different side to Glo’s personality. And perhaps it will cross a lot of views when the episode drops.
