Stars Breanna Stewart and Myles Turner connect leagues with their new podcast, offering unique insights into basketball, culture, and player life.
Breanna Stewart and Myles Turner are adding a new dimension to their careers, stepping into the media space with a joint podcast that brings together active stars from the WNBA and NBA for the first time.
Stewart, a New York Liberty forward and one of the most influential figures in women’s basketball, is teaming up with Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner to launch Game Recognize Game with Stewie and Myles, a weekly show debuting Jan. 28 on iHeartPodcasts. The project is being billed as the first podcast co-hosted by an active NBA player and an active WNBA player.
The idea grew out of a personal connection rather than a calculated media play. Turner said he was initially hesitant to enter a crowded podcast market, questioning whether another athlete-led show could truly stand out. That changed once Stewart became involved.
Turner explained that his reluctance faded once the concept evolved into a true crossover between leagues, something he felt had been missing in basketball media.
“I actually didn’t really want to do it at first because it was such a saturated market,” Turner told Front Office Sports. “I felt like everybody had their podcast or free form way of getting things out. And when the opportunity came to be with Breanna Stewart, that’s really what I thought was interesting because we could have something that was one-of-a-kind.”
The two players were introduced through Stewart’s former college teammate Gabby Williams, and conversations about basketball quickly turned into broader discussions about the sport, culture and how players experience the game differently across leagues.
Stewart said the podcast is designed to reflect that range, blending detailed basketball analysis with lighter conversations about life away from the court.
“Just being able to see the game through our eyes, our lens,” Stewart said. “Whether we’re breaking down what’s happening in the WNBA or what he’s doing with the Bucks, you don’t really see the podcasts with the breakdowns right after [games]. I want to do that with Myles.”
Both hosts emphasized that the show will not be limited to X’s and O’s. Episodes are expected to include discussions on pop culture, personal interests and behind-the-scenes perspectives that rarely surface in traditional media settings. Turner, in particular, said listeners can expect glimpses into hobbies that might surprise fans, including his well-known interest in Lego building.
The timing of the launch comes while both players remain active contributors on the court. Turner is averaging 12.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 41 games this season, anchoring Milwaukee’s frontcourt with his shooting range and rim protection. Stewart, meanwhile, averaged 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 31 games during the 2025 season and earned her seventh All-Star selection.
For Stewart, the podcast represents another platform to shape conversations around basketball, complementing her on-court success and broader influence in the sport. For Turner, it offers a chance to engage fans in a more personal, unscripted way — one that bridges the NBA and WNBA rather than treating them as separate worlds.
As Game Recognize Game with Stewie and Myles prepares to launch, both hosts are positioning the show less as a media experiment and more as an extension of how players already talk about the game — informed, candid and rooted in firsthand experience.
