Dishin & Swishin Podcast: Alisha Valavanis takes over Seattle, Nneka & Chiney shine on & off court

[DishNSwish]

New two part podcast this week.

First:

Yesterday, the Storm announced the hiring of their new chief operating officer, effective July 1. We are honored to have Alisha Valavanis as a guest on Dishin & Swishin.

Valvanis has both the basketball and business background to succeed. She played shooting guard at Cal State-Chico (with her twin sister at the point), and worked her way through several coaching positions as well. Valavanis worked in marketing and community relations, progressing until her final job prior to joining the Storm as assistant athletics director of development at the University of California at Berkeley

Second:

The first siblings to be number one overall draft picks not named Manning. Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike have had an impact on women’s basketball first at Stanford, then onto the WNBA, and through it all, they shine both on and off the court.

The Ogwumikes return to Dishin & Swishin, and its our pleasure to give them another forum to discuss their joint endeavor with UNICEF, raising awareness and money to increase and improve education for girls in their family’s native Nigeria.

Note, Chiney's audio isn't the best, the wonders of cell phones in tough locations.
