On Tuesday, Bird announced the upcoming launch of her new podcast — "Bird's Eye View."
"I've got a new podcast! Bird's Eye View is all about the WNBA — insight, analysis, interviews, what's happening on the court, why it matters, and who's making it happen. The trailer's out now and the first episode drops on May 16. Follow on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts," Bird wrote on Instagram.
Fans flooded the comment section with reactions to this announcement.

"Brilliant name. Can't wait!" another said.
"Sounds Awesome!! I'm listening," another added.
"LET'S GOOOOOO," another wrote.
This isn't Bird's first endeavor in the podcasting world. Last summer, the women's basketball icon launched the "A Touch More" podcast with her partner and co-host, Megan Rapinoe.
'While working on A Touch More with Megan, I realized I wanted to dive even deeper into one of my biggest passions—women's basketball,' Bird said in a statement on Tuesday. 'I'm so excited to expand my partnership with Vox Media on Bird's Eye View. This is a space where I will break down the nuances of the upcoming WNBA season, have in-depth conversations about the league, the players, and the stories that often go untold.'
