Why are we still asking women what they should have done differently instead of demanding better from the people around them? On Episode 4 of Say All the Damn Things, Steph Copley examines the sexual assault allegations involving former Cornell fraternity members through her signature framework: what’s true, what’s missing, what’s BS, and how we respond. She separates allegations from established findings while confronting victim blaming, institutional accountability, and the responsibility to step in when someone is vulnerable. As a mother, Steph gets personal about teaching daughters to stay safe, teaching sons about consent, and why looking the other way is never good enough. Her message is clear: vulnerability is not an invitation. Plus, this episode’s “Slay Baddie” shoutouts celebrate Amy Klobuchar, Caitlin Clark, and Taylor Swift. LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studio.

Content note: Discussion of sexual assault and coercion.

Can two things be true at once? Steph Copley examines the controversy surrounding Holly Rowe, Steve Sarkesian and Arch Manning—and explains why condemning jokes about violence against women isn’t inconsistent with showing compassion in the Lindsay Clancy case. The conversation explores postpartum psychosis, maternal mental health and the context often stripped away by online outrage. Steph also responds to listener feedback about transgender athletes in women’s sports and calls for a clearer, more transparent framework. Plus, this episode’s “Slay Baddies” honor Abby Ryland, creator of Central Iowa’s Taking Up Space event, and Kansas City Chiefs athletic trainer Julie Frymyer.

In Episode 2 of Say All the Damn Things, Steph Copley takes on the debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports—and the political firestorm surrounding it. Using the recent WNBA controversy involving Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White as a jumping-off point, Steph breaks the argument down the way this show promised: What’s true? What’s BS? What’s missing? And how can we actually talk about it without reducing everything to political talking points? Steph digs into competitive fairness, eligibility rules, transgender participation, the differences between professional, college and high school sports, and why nuance matters when discussing an issue involving both fairness and humanity. She also asks a bigger question: Are transgender athletes really the biggest threat facing women’s sports—or are women and the WNBA being used as props in a much larger culture war? Plus, Steph pays tribute to Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem, responds to some early feedback on the show, and introduces the first-ever “Slay Baddie” of the episode. Say All the Damn Things is about having the conversations people are told not to have—and refusing to let complicated issues be reduced to slogans.

Steph Is BACK — And She’s Ready to Say All the Damn Things Steph Copley is back behind the mic—and this time, nothing is off limits. In the debut episode of Say All the Damn Things, Steph explains why she returned to podcasting and why she believes now is the time to stop waiting for someone else to speak up. From politics and women’s voices to sports, parenting, Iowa, the Midwest and the increasingly absurd world around us, Steph lays out the mission for the show: take the arguments everyone is hearing, figure out what’s true, call out what’s b******t, uncover what’s missing and actually talk about it. She also shares how listeners will become part of the conversation as the show grows. No more biting your tongue. No more waiting for someone else to say it. It’s time to Say All the Damn Things.
