Congratulations on entering your toddler phase, Bounces! Your dad must be really psyched about what’s to come! I sure am!! Onwards & upwards!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If I could take a moment to say, that I love Bounces and the No Challenges pod. In the podcast, you sometimes speak so quickly that I have trouble understanding you. A friend of mine who I recommended the pod to, for whom English is not their first language, said they could hardly understand you at all. I want to hear what you have to say. Thanks for considering this. Keep up the great reporting.
I appreciate these notes! This is something I am aware of, and have been told many times before, but that just has a hard time sticking since I'm just naturally a super fast talker. But the reminders that this is an issue hopefully will help keep me conscious of the problem.
Loving the substack and the pod - Q from a Youtube Music user, any chance you could make the podcast available there?
Otherwise, would love some podcast / bounces content reminiscent of the 'old' NCR days - i.e. most influential tennis players of the past five years, best matches, remember whens etc. Basically podcasts I can play on a roadtrip with my partner :).
Delighted for your success, Ben. I'd love to see more exploration of coaches -- someone on Tennis Channel just named one as the best coach of all time (I forget his name). What makes a good coaching relationship? How does a former player decide to coach? etc. Cheer, Judith D.

I too have to slow down the speed of the podcast app sometimes lol.

Thanks for everything Ben. Yes what happened to Courtney? Probably a rights issue. Maybe some more interviews on NCR
Courtney update … yes, please! Also loved your Mary Carillo interview … more, please!
Also, you and Sub- Saharan African correspondent, Tumaini Carayol rock!!
