  • A fun mix of tennis, politics, dad observations and back pain treatments.

    Kosta bounces around from commenting on current tennis players and tournaments, his work on the Daily Show and being a dad on Brooklyn. You never know what you are going to get except it is going to be fun and informative.

  • Tennis memoirs

    I used to live in NYC and understood everything you vented about. Though I would think more about free bussing - that could be a huge help to a lot of low income folks.

    I went to Wimbledon last year, then to Cork, Ireland and picked up The Racket by Conor Niland. What a fantastic tennis memoir - so fascinating to hear from someone who was out there hustling to string together a living. Hope you can get him on the pod - would love to hear more from him!

    Would love to see you and Andy Roddick ... more
