First up, there has been a media frenzy around the fouls made
against rising basketball star and Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin
Clark. Commentators and fans have called her fellow WNBA players
bullies, jealous, and catty. But Code Switch co-host Gene Demby and
Defector's Maitreyi Anantharaman say a lot of the people commenting
misunderstand the WNBA. Host Brittany Luse learns what the new fans
might be missing and how racism, sexism and homophobia could be
fanning the flames of the latest hot takes. Brittany also leads
Gene and Maitreyi through a game of "But Did You Know."

Then, what is up with all the deodorant being locked up in stores?
It's not just you, it's a peculiar nationwide trend that Brittany
is trying to understand. Vox policy correspondent Abdallah Fayyad
and The Marshall Project's engagement editor Nicole Lewis join the
show to explain how this is related to a big shoplifting panic and
what it could mean for the shelf life of certain crime policies
across the country.
