Vox Media
Vox Media is basically handing soon-to-be-enshrined Hall of Famer Sue Bird the keys to Indianapolis’ Helium Comedy Club for the weekend, giving her some mics and letting her do her thing.
On July 18, Bird and World Cup/Ballon D’or-winning U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe take the stage for a live recording of the A Touch More: The Podcast with a yet-to-be-announced special guest. Later that day, Bird hosts a live version of her more basketball-centric Bird’s Eye View podcast, launched earlier this year.

The women-focused media and commerce company behind the Everyone Watches Women’s Sports brand kicked off All-Star Week July 17 with an invite-only Queens of the Court Party for players co-hosted by Aflac.
The slate of events continues on July 19 with a Gameday Glam Covergirl Pop-Up at Elements Financial Club that opens a beauty lounge for touch-ups, a DJ set, drinks, and giveaways. Later that night, Togethxr teams with Bumble for “The Tip Off” exclusive networking event for industry leaders.
It all builds to July 19, when Togethxr and Aflac host their Queens of the Court panel discussion at The Cabaret with Andraya Carter welcoming Sydney Colson, Rickea Jackson, Kate Martin, and Dawn Staley. That’s followed by a Timeout with Paula’s Choice at Proper, featuring a sideline chat with University of Connecticut stars Azzi Fudd and KK Arnold.
Throughout the week, Togethxr is also producing Ally Financial All-Access with Syd & TP to get behind-the-scenes looks at big events, Ally activations, and whatever catches Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance’s attention.
