West Wilson’s job now involves hosting a podcast with childhood friend and WNBA basketball player, Sophie Cunningham. Although the Summer House cast member still works at Complex (more on that down below), he is now bringing his sports knowledge and insight to a brand new platform. West and Sophie, who plays for the Indiana Fever, are the hosts of the new podcast, Show Me Something.Â
The title of the podcast is a play on the duo being from Missouri, which is known as the “Show Me” state, as they both grew up there. “So yeah, we’re gonna see where this podcast goes,” West said in the first episode, which premiered on July 28. “There’s gonna be a little bit of WNBA talk, a little bit of pop culture talk, maybe some fashion, food.”
Sophie also revealed to People that they will be talking about Bravo on the podcast, as she is a fan of the network and loves Summer House. “I’ve been addicted and I have my teammates on it,” she shared. “I have everyone watching it because of West.”

West and Casey continued, noting to the publication that they are on a pursuit of “fun” with their new podcast. “We’re lighthearted and sometimes, our love language is, like, s—t talking,” Sophie said. “It’ll be cool that people can see our humor, what we’re actually like, and it’s coming from us and not from other people perceiving or portraying what they think we are.”

“We’ve both been doing media stuff for a while,” West added. “We’ve also gotten in trouble for s—t before…I don’t necessarily know what Sophie’s fan base is like, what they like or don’t like, but it’ll be fun to explore that.”
What is West Wilson’s job?
In addition to hosting the new podcast, West is a sports writer and contributor for Complex. During Summer House Season 8, viewers watched as West opened up about getting laid off from his previous job at Bleacher Report before the summer began, before he got the job at Complex in the midst of Season 8.

In an April 2024 interview with The Daily Dish, West opened up about how cameras captured the moment that he found out he got the job, and how special that was to him. “The moment I kind of got to close [the] door on unemployment was this summer, and it was [a] very touching moment for me in real life [and] with the cast, on camera, with the crew, [with] everyone,” he said. “Like, just seeing people who I hadn’t known for that long be super supportive and happy for me was a special moment that I’ll like remember forever. So that was awesome.”
