  • Great Podcast!

    This is a great podcast and is very informative. I just wish it was longer. They seem to just get into a topic and boom, show over. Can we make it longer, ladies?

  • Great For Recreational Players!

    I’ve been listening to Carolyn and Erin for a few years now. Their podcast is absolutely refreshing. They address so many issues, problems and even the humorous side of recreational tennis. I enjoy their humbleness about their own tennis and the guests that they bring in as well. They are easy to listen to and find the topics interesting and informative. Keep up the great work ladies!

  • Relatable Tennis Talk

    This podcast is so delightful! I’ve been playing tennis for 3 years (started as a 30 something) and it’s my favorite activity! I appreciate that the hosts share tips about how to improve your tennis game in a very relatable way. If anything, I wish the show was a bit longer. I think 20-30 minutes would be the sweet spot.

  • Perfect for ALL adult rec players

    As an adult recreational tennis player, I really enjoy this podcast. It fills that gap in my tennis hobby and the topics are ones that actually matter to me (captaining a team, advancing through ratings, odd tennis rules, etc). The episodes are short and easy to listen to whenever and wherever I am so that’s another bonus. Sometimes though I do wish that topics could be longer as there can be a lot to talk about things. Definitely listen if you do any kind of tennis playing.
