  • Chris Clarey

    Chris Clarey is a good writer but like all tennis pundits he bizarrely ignores Nadal’s superb 13-8 record over Djokovic in Grand Slams Olympics and Davis Cup.

  • Production level could use some work

    Ben has definitely taken on some uncomfortable topics which others are afraid to touch… I do feel that this pod would be much improved with more attention, given to sound quality- I’m sure some technical assistance could be found.

With all due respect, the hype on Ben’s book was a bit tiresome, though I’m glad that the subject, Naomi Osak... more

  • I can’t listen anymore

    Ben talks way too much. He asks a question of his “co-host” then proceeds to expound on his own opinion for multiple minutes, leaving no room for anything but “yes, you covered it”. He needs a coach to help him stop talking.
