The Riley Gaines Show

Riley Gaines recaps her courtside experience at the Indiana Fever game, from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell’s standout performance to the very different atmosphere compared with Riley’s previous WNBA trip in Minneapolis.

Riley also responds to the public conversation surrounding Simone Biles, Sophie Cunningham, Michael Buckley, and the ongoing debate over protecting women’s sports. She explains why she still wants to reach out to Simone, why Sophie Cunningham’s stance matters, and what the WNBA’s handling of these cultural flashpoints reveals about the league’s balancing act.

Plus: Riley and Louis talk travel with an 11-month-old, seeing Brittney Griner in person, the power of sports to bridge political divides, and why Friday’s episode will be an Ask Me Anything.

Riley Gaines reacts to the public response surrounding the Lindsay Clancy case and the debate over postpartum psychosis, criminal responsibility, and justice for victims. Riley argues that mental illness, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis are real and deserve serious discussion — but that compassion for the accused should not erase the children at the center of the story.

In this episode, Riley looks at the broader cultural pattern of public sympathy shifting toward perpetrators while victims fade into the background. She also discusses motherhood, social media outrage, the role of online narratives, and why Cora, Dawson, and Callan should remain central to the conversation.
