Sophie Cunningham, known for her role as a guard with the Indiana Fever, is set to expand her presence beyond the basketball court with a new podcast. Teaming up with Colin Cowherd’s media platform, The Volume, Cunningham will co-host a show focusing on women’s sports and culture, signaling a fresh direction in her career.
Collaboration with West Wilson Brings Shared Missouri Roots
Titled Show Me Something, the podcast features Cunningham alongside West Wilson, a former Complex producer turned Bravo Summer House personality. The pair share a connection as classmates from Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Missouri, bringing a unique perspective rooted in their shared experiences and backgrounds.
Growing Influence in the WNBA and Beyond
The announcement comes during what many consider Cunningham’s breakout 2025 season. After being traded from the Phoenix Mercury to the Indiana Fever, she has gained notable media attention for her on-court role protecting star teammate Caitlin Clark—earning the nickname “Caitlin Clark’s enforcer.” Her rising profile extends to social media buzz and off-court moments, including wearing a t-shirt endorsing Arby’s on the pregame runway, which helped cement her as a recognizable and charismatic figure in sports culture.
Interest from Women of Wrestling Highlights Cunningham’s Versatility
Despite recently receiving recruitment interest from the Women Of Wrestling promotion, led by founder Dave McLane and co-owner Jeanie Buss, Cunningham is not expected to transition into professional wrestling at this time. Instead, her expanding influence as a mainstream WNBA personality appears to be the primary focus of her growing career.
Show Me Something Joins The Volume’s Diverse Podcast Lineup
The introduction of Show Me Something strengthens The Volume’s portfolio, which already includes prominent podcasts hosted by Colin Cowherd, Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe, and Angie Martinez. Interestingly, the platform also features another show hosted by a basketball enforcer famed for his protective role on the court—Draymond Green—paralleling Cunningham’s own reputation within her sport.
Industry Outlook and Cultural Significance
Dane Aagaard, The Volume’s chief revenue officer, emphasized the network’s enthusiasm for expanding content that celebrates women’s sports alongside pop culture and friendship, stating,
“It’s an exciting time for the WNBA, and we’re thrilled to grow The Volume’s portfolio with a show that celebrates women’s sports, pop culture, and friendship,”

Cunningham’s move into podcasting aligns with a broader trend of athletes leveraging media platforms to build their personal brands and connect with fans in more meaningful ways. Show Me Something is poised to offer authentic, insider views into the evolving landscape of women’s sports and cultural conversations, attracting audiences eager for fresh voices and perspectives.
