"Valkyries, Say Less" is a podcast about the Golden State Valkyries and the electric culture around women’s basketball in the Bay Area. Hosted by Raina Mast and Vanessa Hutchinson-Szekely, former high school basketball players, current San Francisco teachers, artists, moms, and entrepreneurs, this channel celebrates the Valkyries.

The VSL podcast debuted during the Valks' historic inaugural season and can be found on all podcast platforms. This YouTube channel is our first stab at video. Same heart, same takes, same love for women’s basketball, now with faces and even more joy.

Expect player profiles, fan culture, Bay Area flavor, thoughtful commentary, laughter, merch moments and a deep appreciation for the people in the stands as much as the players on the court. This is not hot takes or sports yelling. It is friendship, fandom, and cultural commentary rooted in joy.

If you love women’s sports, the WNBA, or the Golden State Valkyries… SAY LESS. 💜🖤🏀
