    HUGHESY, WE HAVE A PODCAST

    21/05/2026 | 41 mins.
    At first, we thought a vagrant had got past security, but the more he spoke, we realised... IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN COMEDY LEGEND/TENNIS AFICIONADO DAVE HUGHES! He joins hosts Mike and Lizzy to talk about his red-hot love of the game, and to brag about all the times he's sat front row at Australian Open finals. Hear about the time he was part of Roger Federer's hype crew, and also about the time he saw Adam Hills' foot melt while playing a set in 42-degree heat. You know what? It's actually really quite entertaining.

    COURTNEY TENNIS LATELY?

    14/05/2026 | 43 mins.
    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

    07/05/2026 | 45 mins.
    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

    27/04/2026 | 39 mins.
    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!

    MONTE CARLO INSANE WINNRS

    18/04/2026 | 40 mins.
    Join comedians and tennis-loving freaks Mike Goldstein, Lizzy Hoo and Sam Taunton as they slice up the week's tennis. The guys have - quite understandably - lost their minds at the year's first matchup of Sinner v Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo final. We also marvel at the ferocious tennis racquet-smashing abilities of Daniil Medvedev. Man, that guy can really mangle a Tecnifibre! Oh, and the gang once again takes extreme pleasure in exposing fellow comedian Dave Hughes as a complete tennis fraud. We thank you for listening, and - just like Mirra Andreeva would - we also thank ourselves. You're welcome!
