Sophie Cunningham’s podcast, “Show Me Something,” which she announced last July, hasn’t dropped a new episode on its YouTube channel since July 21. Fans are definitely wondering what happened to the show, co-hosted with reality TV star West Wilson, and if it’s ever coming back after going on an unannounced, indefinite hiatus.
Behind The Scenes: More Than Just Missed Episodes
The podcast’s YouTube channel boasts more than 62,000 subscribers, many of whom are Indiana Fever fans who followed Cunningham over. But it looks like both Cunningham and Wilson have been dealing with some serious personal controversies lately that have pushed the popular show to the back burner. Wilson was caught up in some behind-the-scenes drama on the set of “Summer House,” the Bravo show he stars in. Even more notably, Wilson directly contradicted Cunningham when the Fever guard spoke out against transgender participation in women’s sports. Cunningham has tried to walk back her own controversial comments, which a lot of people have interpreted as blatant transphobia.
The WNBA Gets Dragged In: Unexpected Call-Outs
These remarks, made by Cunningham, brought out what the source calls “bad-faith actors” like Royce Young and Enes Kanter Freedom. Both former NBA players, who are cisgender males, called on the WNBA to clarify whether transgender women can play in the league. It’s worth noting that there has never actually been a transgender player in the WNBA. That hasn’t stopped Young and Kanter Freedom from “declaring” for the 2027 draft. Kanter Freedom has even been banned from Chicago’s Wintrust Arena following a confrontation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. At this point, it really seems like both Wilson and Cunningham have much more pressing issues to deal with than recording new podcast episodes.
With the WNBA playoffs fast approaching, it’s pretty clear Cunningham won’t want any distractions from her championship chase with Indiana. Looks like we’ll have to wait and see if “Show Me Something” ever makes a comeback, but for now, the off-court drama is definitely taking center stage.
