Off The Walz

Louisville women's basketball has been one of the most consistently excellent programs in the country, and Off The Walz was the first podcast dedicated entirely to covering it. Hosted by Brian Trent through the State of Louisville Podcast Network, the show gave the Lady Cardinals the dedicated attention they've long deserved. Trent built the show around a mix of game analysis, player interviews, and recruiting coverage that treated women's basketball with the same seriousness as the men's program. Episodes featured conversations with current players, WNBA stars who came through Louisville, and program alumni who helped build the dynasty. The interview quality was strong, with guests opening up about everything from AAU basketball pipelines to their professional career transitions. The show has 55 episodes and earned a 4.9-star rating from 8 reviews, which speaks to the quality of the content. It's worth noting that the most recent episode dates to June 2023, so the show appears to be on an extended hiatus or may have concluded. The coaching landscape at Louisville women's basketball has shifted since then, which could explain the pause. Even so, the back catalog is valuable for fans of Louisville women's hoops. Trent captured a specific era of the program with thoughtful, detailed coverage. If you're looking for historical perspective on how the women's program developed or want to hear directly from the players and figures who shaped it, the archived episodes are still very much worth your time.
