Fantastic pod with an insider who’s smart and knows what questions to ask to some of the most key people in the sport and who helped build it.
Craig’s podcast is a 10/10. Big fan.
Craig’s podcast is singular. There are few, if any, podcasts in which the host spends stretches of time embedded within the tennis tour. The conversations and insight on Craig’s pod runs deep because he’s been around the game for a long time, he’s an insider with relationships across the tour, he lands high quality guests, and the talks are thoughtful and well-executed. Some recent favorites are Moutet, Dan Evans, Lajovic, and Aneke Rune. Oh, and the newsletter is sick too. Vamos, my friends!
Craig is a true tennis - industry - insider and great interviewer, gets a lot out of his subjects. It’s fun and the format keeps the interview going in a nice flow
