  • Pure SLOP! Couldn’t Last 10mins 👎🏼

    Cringed when I saw the name change. Side eyed when I heard the hosts were comedians. The final straw was the d**k pics, Asian stereotypes & flasher jokes. This podcast went from great to truly slop!

  • Re the name change

    Hi there, you do know there’s already a very popular and successful tennis podcast called The Tennis Podcast, right? They’ve been around for over a decade now. I’m not sure how this can become The Tennis podcast when there is already The Tennis Podcast. Is that not copyright infringement? Or just a bad idea???
