Skylar Diggins and Cassidy Hubbarth are launching a new video podcast called ANDMOM on May 14, bringing together two prominent voices with a shared focus on motherhood, work and the pressure to do both at once. Vox Media and Wavelength announced the project on Thursday.
The podcast will feature guests including Lisa Leslie, Brittney Griner, Shawn Johnson and Ally Love. Diggins, a seven-time WNBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, is entering her 12th season in the league after most recently signing with the Chicago Sky. Hubbarth spent 15 years at covering the NBA before joining Amazon Prime Video in 2025 as its lead NBA sideline reporter.
For Diggins, the project is tied to a personal need she says many women share but do not always hear reflected back to them. She said motherhood and career are often treated as if they come with an asterisk, and that many people do not understand what that combination demands. She added that women look for stories and spaces where they can ask whether they can have a successful career and still be present, good mothers and parents.
The podcast also comes after Diggins said she experienced severe postpartum depression and wanted to share more of her story so other women feel less alone and push for systemic change. Hubbarth said her own experience navigating pregnancy in a high-profile role shaped her commitment to more conversations about motherhood in the workplace. She described the podcast as a place to help mothers merge the person they were before parenthood with the one they are becoming after it.
Hubbarth said she hopes the show feels like the useful gift at a baby shower, the kind that focuses on the mother as much as the baby. She said she wants ANDMOM to offer comfort and a kind of hug for the moments when motherhood can feel isolating. The guest list suggests the show will mix elite sports, entertainment and parenting experience, with Leslie a WNBA Hall of Famer and Griner a WNBA champion and 10-time All-Star among those set to appear.
The launch lands in a moment when athletes and broadcasters are speaking more openly about the realities of parenting, career breaks and identity after childbirth. ANDMOM is trying to turn that conversation into a format built for longer answers, not polished talking points, and Diggins and Hubbarth are betting there is an audience for exactly that.
