This year, San Francisco welcomed the Golden State Valkyries, a WNBA expansion team owned by the same group as the NBA’s beloved Golden State Warriors.
As fans followed the Valkyries’ historic season, KALW reporter Erin Lim bridged the gap between newcomer Valkyries fans and seasoned basketball veterans with her Valkyries podcast, “BOUNCE: The Valkyries’ 1st Season in the Bay.”
Following a wave of increasing popularity in women’s sports across the country, Lim pitched the idea of “BOUNCE” early in her KALW fellowship.
Ben Trefny, KALW executive producer, saw Lim’s pitch as an opportunity to reboot a 2019 Warriors podcast, “BOUNCE,” with the newfound moxie of the Valkyries.
Lim was born and raised in the Bay Area, originally hailing from San Leandro. Despite living in San Francisco for the last 20 years, she never found herself part of the basketball frenzy that surrounds the Warriors until now.
