Karaoke Is Not My Jam with Ally Sentnor Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

NWSL star and USWNT up-and-comer Ally Sentnor joins Sarah not once – but twice! – to discuss her big trade from the Utah Royals to the Kansas City Current, playing for Emma Hayes, dropping out of college soccer (but not college), and what it’s like to share a hometown with the famed Mewis sisters. Plus, the volleyball landscape becomes slightly less confusing, infuriating takes from the WNBA peanut gallery, and one baby really rises to the occasion.

Plus, a hometown champ is crowned in France, a baby bump reveal that left us in awe, and a reminder that even in these dark times schools still have to comply with Title IX.
