  • COURTNEY TENNIS LATELY?
    May 14 2026

    Tennis journalist and all-round lovely bloke, Courtney Walsh sits down the Pod Laver crew before he flies to Roland Garros. It's a French Open preview that asks all the big questions! Who's in form? Who's not doing so great? What's with the panama hats? How do you pronounce "Jodar"? If you love to French, then so do we. Or should that be oui oui?! No, just checked, oui oui means yes yes.

  • SABA THE HUTT
    May 7 2026

    Mike and Sam are back, and many people are now saying these two knuckleheads are culturally more important to tennis than The Woodies and Rod Laver combined. Not me though, I would never say that. They talk Madrid, Sinner's dominance and the appropriateness of Marta Kostyuk's celebratory backflip. There's also wild Alcaraz wrist injury speculation, blatant ethnic stereotyping, and a May the Fourth-themed guessing game that will leave the whole family horrified.

    All jokes aside, it's actually pretty funny. So stop reading this slop and go listen!

  • HUNKY PIRATES AHOY
    Apr 27 2026

    Join Pinder Award-winning comedian Lizzy Hoo, as she passes judgement on fellow comedian Mike Goldstein's deplorable on-court behaviour. The guys also dig into the fallout from Flavio Cobolli telling his girlfriend she is not welcome back to his games, and question why no one has yet noticed that giant American Patrick Kypson resembles a hunky pirate. Oh, and did you see that photo of Trump standing in front of the Georgia women's team? Yes, we go there... then seamless pivot to shining a spotlight on Nick Kyrgios's bald head (not literally - though that is a cool segment idea). There's also a prize giveaway: first to email in wins Craig Tiley's haemorrhoid ring!
