Rachel Bachman, senior sports reporter for the Wall Street Journal, joins Steven Godfrey to talk about the comparative economics of March Madness for men's and women's basketball. Did the NCAA shortchange the women by continuing to bundle their rights with other sports? Why does the current setup force fans to choose between one tournament or the other? And could/should we host both Final Fours in one location? Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.

Steven Godfrey takes questions from the Phantom Island audience and turns them into this, the Single Wing, where he discusses Coach Transition Etiquette, the theoretical rise of G6 super scheduling, whether NIL will change professional rookie finances, Godfrey's Letterboxd top four, and plenty more.

How does an episode go from Ryan Nanni and Steven Godfrey discussing the Toyota Corolla to Ryan bringing on Rodger Sherman to consider why there is no simple term for "an athlete who competes in skeleton?" When it's time to discuss the differences between how the U.S. funds its Olympic athletes and how most other countries do it, of course.
